The review
On paper, Sweet Substance is an outside bet if you want Poison for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Poison's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 7% less than Poison — the 8th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on coriander, plum and anise, turns to tuberose, carnation and honey, and settles into opoponax, vanilla and heliotrope. That is the brief Sweet Substance is working from.
Top
- coriander
- plum
- anise
Heart
- tuberose
- carnation
- honey
Base
- opoponax
- vanilla
- heliotrope
Plum and tuberose in a dense, narcotic cloud, the definition of eighties excess.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 9 twins of Dior Poison we can price, Sweet Substance is number 8 on price per 100ml.
