Pros & Cons

  • ✅ I liken this EDC to a watercolor Picasso. Take the original Poison, switch its density for sheerness, then rearrange its component parts in Cubist fashion.
  • ✅ I recently picked up a vintage EDC bottle of this at an estate sale... If an actual witch had a smell it would be this. It is spicy, sweet and potent.
  • ✅ Vintage Poison cologne was the very first Poison Dior released. Soon the heavier EDT followed, then the Esprit formulation. Cologne is lighter (compared to the EDT) more floral, sweeter/balsamic than the Edt or Esprit.
  • ✅ This was the first 80s powerhouse perfume I ever purchased and I remember it distinctly. It lit a fire and burned my taste buds away for any other perfume for years.
  • ✅ Recently purchased a vintage bottle from 1987! A lighter and fresher version of the EDT. I prefer the EDC. It's more suitable for everyday wear.
  • ❌ I wanted to love this perfume so much. I even tried the parfum to see if it made a difference. It didn't. It has so many things I absolutely love. I keep trying it to see if someday, my body chemistry will have just the right oomph to make it smell wonderful. It smells great on other people. Oh well. :(

  • ❌ I bought a vintage bottle of this 3.4 ounce for $120 on ebay. I remember this perfume differently. The one I bought I made sure was vintage and I just don't love it.
