- the original Poison.
The opening already provided that signature floral smell from the original “Poison”. It was obvious that jasmine was responsible for that. The middle notes was no different although it was like what I said, silky in a way. There was no major difference here except from the powdery
or silky smell brought by orange blossoms and slightly by gardenia. Then the dry down was a little warm but did not change the opening.
The scent for me is not a perfect floral scent. Though it has amazing floral notes like jasmine and gardenia, the entire concoction was somewhat cloudy and silky. I would prefer a scent that showcases the pure smell of both jasmine and gardenia. If these two notes standout it would have been watery, pure and refreshing.
The beauty of most floral scent is its well-defined floral smell and how coordinate and unison the floral notes are. There are times when a floral smell cascades with other floral notes tumultuously. This is a perfect example of it.
Thus in relation to the concept that it is a clear poison, I was not really killed by it. The story is suppose to be to that this is a great fragrance, it seduces, changes and overpowers anybody that will smell you while wearing it. But it was not the case for me. It was just too ordinary, not something that will knock you out. If there is something that is considered literally a poison here, it is the intoxicating silky or powdery smell that comes out together with the floral nuance.
