Pure Poison, when the potion is adorned with the white magic of Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion and Carlos Benaim
Poison is THE cult perfume of the 80s. The perfume of opulence with a taste of forbidden, the perfume of all excess, of all the most bewitching flowers as well as the most animal notes. Edouard Fléchier's composition for Poison is formidable in its sensuality and warmth, it is inimitable. So when the Dior house chose to offer descendants to this love potion , they were composed with the greatest care to be both worthy of the original fragrance, but also original enough not to be too similar to the juice. from 1985.
The best known of all the variations of Poison is of course Hypnotic Poison, however Tendre Poison from 1994 and Pure Poison created in 2004 have the merit of attacking the myth by clearly proposing a version totally opposed to Poison, a challenge from perfumers in short!
As far as Pure Poison is concerned, the challenge is really big: Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion and Carlos Benaim have for mission to create a luminous antidote to Poison, a “Contre-Poison” in short. Only orange blossom will make the link between Poison and Pure Poison, the composition of the three perfumers tells a beautiful and wonderful new story ...

The three great talents of perfumery will therefore tackle the mythical Poison by taking its orange blossom to color it with bright and sunny notes.
Crazy audacity but won, the Pure Poison perfume is a success!
Pure Poison therefore opens with a fresh and dynamic start of Calabrian bergamots, oranges and tangerine. Then in the heart, white flowers, including the famous orange blossom, light up the heads in an armful of jasmine and gardenia. Finally musks, amber and sandalwood play with their delicate depths to wrap us in their mellow marriage.
The elegance of Dior perfumes thus remains in precious floral notes typical of the house, except for the presence of the gardenia which likes to surprise us. The story of Pure Poison takes shape in fresh chapters and innocent sensuality that astonish as to their affiliation with their poisonous parent Poison. Yet the magic remains and Pure Poison captivates us with its charms as well as the cult perfume of the 80s.
