Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrete
by Dior
Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrete offers a lighter, fresher interpretation of the original Hypnotic Poison, characterized by a prominent citrus opening with bergamot and mandarin that quickly softens into a warm, creamy vanilla base. The scent balances white floral notes with subtle sweetness, creating a soft, intimate aura that feels wearable during the day and in warmer months. It is particularly suited for those who find the original HP too heavy or intense, delivering a sensuous yet restrained gourmand experience without the overpowering almond or synthetic tones. Despite inconsistent longevity and modest projection, many appreciate its elegant simplicity and approachable warmth, making it a sanctuary for those seeking a quieter signature without sacrificing the soul of the original 1998 masterpiece.
