The review
On paper, Poison is a reasonable bet if you want Poison for less.
The Essence Vault 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.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 72% less than Poison — the 2nd 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 The Essence Vault 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 Poison 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, Poison is number 2 on price per 100ml.
