Hello ❤
In today’s scented review I’m going to share with you
my thoughts on one incredible perfume that I got in even more incredible way 😊
Dior Pure Poison EDP surprisingly landed in my
collection literally out of nothing😊 Just like
that! Last year I was in Munich visiting one of my besties and there I met one
super cute & amazing girl (Alex ❤). The second we met we found out that we share the
same passion for perfumes, makeup, manicure and literally anything beauty
related. Luckily, we don’t have the same perfume taste :D so Alex gifted me
Pure Poison – a strong perfume, which she can’t wear and does not
like. I myself like strong, overwhelming and oriental perfume (to match my
personality lol) so Pure Poison turned out to be right out my alley. It suits
me well 😊
I don’t consider myself a Dior fan. I just don’t like
Dior’s perfumes, although I’ve tested almost all of them – I don’t like J’Adore,
Miss Dior, Joy (especially this one), Addict...I’m not a #diorgirl and that’s it. Well, I don’t like any Chanel
perfume either – I don’t know why but people seem to be really impressed by
this fact :D
Last spring I used up one mini bottle from the perfume
Poison Girl by Dior and
I loved it. I did not manage to write a review for Poison Girl, but this is an
amazing oriental scent that smells like almonds, Tonka bean and marzipan, just
like one of my old favorites La Petite Robe Noire by Guerlain ❤ Alongside Poison Girl I decided to give Dior’s perfumes a new
sniff but I did not liked any of them, beside Pure Poison. A few weeks
afterwards I received Pure Poison as gift. Such a happy coincidence?!😊
History:
Pure Poison is launched in 2004 and team of 3 perfumers created the composition. Pure
Poison is purely poison scent – strong, overwhelming,
extremely white floral and never unnoticeable by others.
Description:
Top notes: orange, Sicilian
tangerine, bergamot, jasmine
Middle notes: orange
flower, gardenia
Base notes: sandalwood, cedar, ambra, musk
Development on my skin:
On my skin Pure Poison is beautiful white floral bouquet – creamy
gardenia, irresistible jasmine and sweet orange flower. Those
are my 3 favourite white flowers ❤
Right after spraying Pure Poison is quite sharp, with detectable sour citrusy orange, bergamot and tangerine notes.
Releasing accords are pretty strong, sharp and almost masculine, but they are
calming few minutes after spraying and beautiful jasmine, creamy gardenia and
irresistible orange flower notes ❤ Pure Poison is quite linear scent, that’s completely
on the white floral side and only white floral lovers will enjoy it as its
finest. It smells like floral garden, like warm jasmine and gardenia,
accompanied by fine orange floral sweetness. In the base I detect some warm sandalwood and a
bit of musk, but the main notes I get from this perfume are those 3 flowers:
jasmine, gardenia and orange flower. Lovely combination ❤. Pure Poison is really stylish, classy, sophisticated scent, far from the modern sickly
sweet mainstream scents (as the nightmare La Vie Est Belle!)
I find that Pure Poison is the perfect name for this scent – poisoning strong,
overwhelming and noticeable white floral scent ❤ People around you will always notice it, since
it’s super strong even if you go with just 1 spritz. Also, Pure Poison is quite controversial scent –
you either love it or hate it. As I already mentioned Pure Poison is quite linear scent and does not
have an intense development – in the beginning is sharp and citrusy, later it
gets white floraly and smells dominantly on jasmine, gardenia and some orange
flower, and later it becomes warmer and a bit softer with detectable sandalwood
note❤
Packaging:
Same bottle as the rest perfumes from the “poison”
line, but in pearly white with chameleonic hues in purple and green, stamped
with dark purple around the spritzer. From the “poison” line I find that the
prettiest bottles are these on Midnight Poison, followed by Poison Girl and Pure
Poison.
Storage:
Eau de Parfum 30, 50 and 100ml bottles.
Season appropriate:
Of course you know everything is strictly subjective
in terms of perfumes, but for me Pure Poison is spring & summer perfume, I
can’t imagine wearing it in cold weather. I think it’s developing best on humid,
salty and sea climate❤
Time appropriate:
I think Pure Poison is great pick for both daytime
& nighttime scent. In the mornings I go for 1-2 spritzes and in the
evenings for 3 to 4. избор и за дневен, и за вечерен
аромат.
Longevity:
Endless! Usually white floral perfumes are quite long lasting – keep this
in mind. With 1-2 spritzes longevity is 12h! and if you go for more, like 3 or
4, longevity is even higher, like it stays on your skin until you shower. It’s so
long lasting that is detectable in the room for hours after I left it. It has
amazing trail and strong silage.
I like white florals and I own few white floral
perfumes which I can compare to Pure Poison:
❤ Roberto
Cavalli Paradiso Assoluto EDP – quite
similar in general to Pure
Posion, both scents contain notes
of creamy white florals and are designed for women who really like white
florals, plus they are super longlasting. Review on Paradiso Assoluto you can
find here
❤ Marc
Jacobs Decandence Divine – irresistible
combination of orange floral and gardenia is the main similarity on both
perfumes. Decadence is my all time favourite perfume ❤ Review here
❤ Avon
Little Black Dress – I wrote a
review on this a long time ago, you can read it here Jasmine, gardenia and orange flower feel quite similar
in both Little Black Dress and Pure Poison.
Pure Poison is
such a sophisticated perfume ❤ Almost
every time I’m wearing a white shirt I like to pair it with Pure Poison, it
just feels like the perfect combination ❤
Pure Poison is
one of my favorite perfumes for spring & summer and it smells like a
blooming garden, filled with jasmine, gardenia and orange flower, perfect blend
of my favorite white flowers ❤
Pure Poison is
for women that love strong perfumes and can wear them (white floral perfumes
are pretty overwhelming and might cause headache). From the same “poison” line I
can recommend you the scent Poison
Girl, which is amazing gourmet
oriental scent with irresistible almond notes ❤
Which is your favorite Dior
perfume? I like only the above
mentioned 😊
