Dior Pure Poison in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

Jasmine leads from the first spray, lifted by a zip of citrus. Gardenia and orange blossom then give the heart a creamy white-floral sheen, and soft woods and clean musk close it quietly.

How it wears

The perfume community is split: some find it long-lasting, others moderate. The trail is called moderate to strong, but not overpowering.

When to wear it

Wearers like it in spring and autumn, mostly in the evening and at night. Some also wear it for business or formal occasions.

Who it suits

It suits a woman who likes a classic, polished white floral with a crisp, cool feel. Those who prefer cosy, soft warmth may find it less enveloping.
