Comment from buyers:

“The poison girl is a new member of the Dior poison family. She has five sisters (red, green, white, purple and blue). However, compared to the mature and charming older sisters, the poison girl tastes younger, and the confident bold wants to grow up, but still feels immature. Its own sweet tone reminds me of cream cake, vanilla ice cream, it deserves to be a master-work by Dior.”

“The first time I tried to spray, I simply wanted to get rid of it. I felt that it was too strong and not suitable for me. However, I gradually waited for the top notes to dissipate, the middle tone was released, which is the biting sensuality of rose. The back tone is completely changed into the aromas of silky sweetness, just like I delectably enveloped in the vanilla cake. This fragrance is strong in its retention and diffusion.”

Comments from buyers:

“This fragrance is particularly straightforward, there is no so-called front, middle and base notes, only the direct, “aggressive” citrus lemon scent is carried through to the end.
