What does Hypnotic Poison (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out rather than the office. Most see it as feminine.

The top is plum, apricot, coconut, pimento and bitter almond, so it opens with fruit and almond sweetness softened by spice. The heart builds a floral core from tuberose, rose and jasmine sambac. It closes on vanilla and sandalwood, creamy, powdery and woody. Dior Hypnotic Poison Diable Rouge and La Rive Sweet Hope have a close profile.
