I loved it ....❤️🔥
Oh how I miss the days when the shelves of Dior in perfume stores had all these flankers of the hypnotic poision. These bottles are gorgeous and the scents are otherwordly, I remember I tested them all and I was confused which one to purchase cause they all smelled so good, I finally ended up buying the EDP, but this one was truly beautiful too
I have yet to wear this, but I tested it and the immediate top notes smell like Dr. Pepper. As it settles down, it’s more sweet and soft, but I can’t get past the Dr. Pepper smell to really appreciate the notes!
This was THE perfume for me. It represented everything a Poison family scent should be. It was intoxicating, sweet but with a hint of bitterness, seductive but not too in your face. My signature scent for as long as I could get it. Too bad it was just a seasonal version 💔
Questa versione di Hypnotic poison non mi piace particolarmente. Ha una nota amara (quella tipica degli hypnotic poison) che però occupa troppo spazio olfattivo,sembra piccante,ma il resto del bouquet non brilla. Fiori indecifrabili,diciamo che il cuore può anche andare,effetto veleno marcato,fondo cremoso di vaniglia e sandalo. Non mi fa impazzire.
Have a tester of this and it's nothing special. just a sweet, romantic and indeed sensual scent. Even if I was obsessed, I still can't get the full bottle version since it's discontinued but I am just happy to have had it in my collection, not disappointed with the fact that I can't buy the full bottle.
I found a sample I hadn't finished... it's very nice. Soft and fluffy. I would describe it as a romantic smell. It's not to sweet and very light. I get the orange blossom, tuberose and vanilla. I wouldn't describe it as unique, but it's nice.
It was my signature scent for years. I fell in love with it instantly. Now discontinued ❣️
I had high hopes for this fragrance, especially since I usually adore anything sensuelle. However, it turned out to be nice but not particularly special. Honestly, the bottle is more captivating than the scent itself. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Initially, I enjoyed the aroma, especially as a fan of vanilla, but I found myself growing weary of it after about 30 minutes, and I couldn't wait to remove it from my wrist. It's possible that it just didn't mesh well with my body chemistry. Despite my disappointment, I'm left curious and eager to try the original fragrance on my skin. Hopefully, that will be a better fit for me. In conclusion, while it's nice, it's not remarkable enough to justify the price.
Finally got my hands on a bottle of this for my Poison collection. The bottle is so beautiful! Upon the first couple of wears, I was very unsure about it. The ylang ylang was a bit much for me. I’m wearing it tonight on a cold evening, and wow! It really comes alive! After the initial burst of florals wears down, the sandalwood and woody notes really shine. So sexy, and still maintains its Hypnotic dna with the vanilla note. Longevity and projection are decent, but doesn’t hold a candle to my 1998 bottle of Hypnotic Poison edt. So thrilled to have this in my collection! If you are a fan of the Hypnotic family, then you need to get your nose on this!
Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle opens with the same soft, fluffy, powdery base as the original without the almond and spices. The florals are more present here, epecially the ylang-ylang, making it even more feminine and more sensual than sexy...as the name would imply. I find the florals also make this flanker a little less gourmand than the original but still has the gourmand vanilla floating around the florals. In the deeper drydown the vanilla becomes a bit more prominant, especially when smelled close to the skin. Like the original Hypnotic Poison I find this very feminine, maybe even more so. While the peformance is excellent. I find it a little lighter on the skin and airier, which makes it easier to wear in slightly warmer weather. The original I only wear in cold weather. This one smells lovely in the spring as well as cooler weather. It may be a bit too much for hot summer days though. But I am wearing it today on a warm, sunny late spring day and it has never felt heavy or overwhelming. As briefly mentioned the performance is excellent. On initial application the projection is quite strong. Not quite room filling, but it does reach well outside your personal space. After a couple hours it does settle a little, but the projection is still moderate. The logevity is also solid lasting 8-10 hours on skin. I have a decant and would love to get a full bottle. Since it is long discontinued, it is hard to find and the prices are often unreasonable. I don't think this is different enough from the EDT to overpay for it, but I will purchase it if I find it for a reasonable price.
This one is not for me... Opening is very heavy on the ylang ylang and those green notes, while the tuberose comes out in the mid, and the drydown finally showcases the vanilla and orchid, plus the woodsy notes. Personally I find the opening a bit too retro for me with the ylang ylang, which is quite bold and overpowering. The drydown is nicer, but overall this scent comes across quite sharp and loud on my skin. This is aided by the scent's strong projection - it really fills the room (and that's just with one spray). I think if you are a fan of vintage florals you might like this, and if you can get your hands on a bottle it will last you quite a long time because you don't need much - this stuff really lasts!
Please, PM me if you seriously want to sell a bottle. Thank you!!
My signature scent. I love this soo much. I wish they would produce it again, it's such a beautiful scent. I woke up this morning wanting some coffee...went back to my bedroom, I saw the bottle on my dresser and sprayed 8-10 times...without remorse...mmmm soo good, such a wonderful combination of orange blossom, tuberose, sandalwood, vanilla, rose and orchids. It has a good dose of jasmine too. I love this so much. Please Dior, make it again! Ahhh. I have 3 back up bottles. I just went and ordered another bottle. I should stop wasting money in newer stuff that don't make me as happy as this scent does. My love, my beloved Hypnotic Poison Eau sensuelle... Oh no...you don't need this...mmmm...please don't buy it.
Happy to have found a brand new bottle of this wonderful vanilla worth having in my large poison flanker collection at a high price tag Very recently I layered HP edt with j’adore edp roller pearl and got a similar vibe to eau sensuelle just yummy Don’t see any similarities with poison girl a strong crowd pleaser Most of Dior poison flankers will not be reproduced again as they used real extracts to make them and the new synthetic notes don’t smell the same so sadly we are left in a world of synthetics that’s why most perfumes smell very similar nowadays It’s such a shame always looking for older bottles of everything now
I’ve got a half-full 100ml bottle of this hidden away in my perfume collection. One of my favourites, truly. Really disheartening to know it’s been discontinued, but this rare gem smells absolutely gorgeous. As another reviewer mentioned- it smells like a combination of the original HP and Poison Girl. If your unsure as to what those smell like- this perfume is essentially a sweet vanilla-almond with a slightly musky-green undertone. I try and use it in colder months, occasionally in spring. Longevity is astounding- similar to the performance of poison OG. Lasts 12+ hours my skin. Silage is quite large and radiates around a good space. Safe blind buy? Most likely. If you don’t mind spending a pretty penny, its definitely an attention grabber. Nice collectors piece too! :)
Oh my I can’t stop smelling this gem! It’s so pretty that hurts my heart it has been discontinued. I was lucky enough to get a brand new 50 ml bottle from a collector, cellophane sealed and all for the current HP retailer price. I couldn’t believe it! It arrived today and I needed to do this review pronto. I do love the original HP, despite many haters of the play doh note out there and liquorice???Im confused . Seriously, liquorice is not even listed because that isn’t one lol that’s in EDP, get you facts checked. Well back to this pretty lady, which is taking HP range to another level…sweet but not cloying, powdery but not too dry. The mix of yellow flowers with white flowers is so beautiful…the orange blossom, tuberose, vanilla and orange is perfection. This fragrance has definitely the classic Dior stamp, the vanilla is screaming “I’m a Dior fragrance, prior to their reformulation phase when we used to smell so great!!!” Do I sense a hint of Valentino Valentina Poudre in the dry down or is it just me? Maybe the sandalwood and the vanilla combo gives me an olfactive illusion, because that one has tonka bean. Anyway I found them quite similar but not the same, not a dupe. If you have HPES in your collection you’re so lucky because it’s definitely a keeper. They don’t do fragrances like this one anymore.
never in my life did i think that i'd like this, i see "sweet" in the top 2 accords and tuberose + orange blossom in the top notes and i'm usually out. but a dear friend of mine gave me decant of this hard to find gem, and i am surprisingly loving it. if i were to use one word to describe it, it would be "soft". it's so nostalgic, very floral, i would've never guessed it's a flanker of hypnotic poison had i not known. it's not overly sweet at all, it's not natural either but not like the current sickeningly sweet white floral designer cliches of the today's market. it's rather a soft white floral but i think the star of this fragrance is rather the orchid+sandalwood combo. i personally find orchid has a vanillic natural sweetness that makes almost everything so familiar, which makes me wonder that's the reason it's so nostalgically familiar to me, but the sandalwood gives it that "soft" feeling. no, it's not mind blowing but it's really really pleasant and cozy, i think it's perfect for spring or in-between-seasons weather when u don'f know what to wear bc it's neither cold nor warm. whoever has this today, u r lucky!
𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙷𝚢𝚙𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚌 𝙿𝚘𝚒𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝙵𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚎𝚛? One of the most sought after Hypnotic Poison flankers, judging by fragrantica reviews. Eau Sensuelle is a softer, floral and more accessible version of Hypnotic Poison, without losing the femme fatale sexiness. Added notes of Orchid (which is actually always a fantasy note as orchids have no real odor) and enticing Ylang. No play-dough accord, cumin or liquorice notes like in the OG that some find challenging, the woods are toned down, too. She is still a stellar performer, unlike the Eau Secrète, which is more like an Eau Fraîche for hotter weather. Great sillage and best suited for fall or not super cold winter days. Is it the best of the line? For me the second best, after the original formula Hypnotic Poison EDT which has a stronger floral aspect than nowadays, apart from it having much higher quality in general.
This smells a lot like a combination of Hypnotic Poison EDT and Poison Girl EDT to me! It's really nice and warm with decent performance. I like that the licorice note is missing. Francois Demachy makes such beautiful perfumes. I hope he stays safe and that he doesn't get Covid and lose his sense of smell. That would be a tragedy. I own a lot of the frags in the Poison range and this one is one of my favorite bottles. Poison Girl EDP is too dark; Hypnotic Poison EDT is too plain... This is balanced and gorgeous. It's probably my favorite along with Midnight Poison. They're all wonderful though. I don't think that would be someone's main priority when buying a perfume but I like having mine on display, so I kind of pay attention to that lol...
Man. I have been waiting for review this for SO long. I scored a half 3.4 ounce and I've just now tested it. This is hypnotic poison EDT without the playdough! I love the OG but I have fallen head over heels in love with this. Is so so so beautiful. WOW. It's very similar but it's smooth and soft and no play dough, less synthetic. It's just amazing. I haven't been wowed by a purchase like this. And it kind of resembles Armani code cashmere which I love but this is just to DIE for.
I recently learned that this has been discontinued and it breaks my heart. I haven't tried other HP's so I can't compare, but this is gorgeous, warm, sexy, a little dark and mysterious. I only wear it in the deep winter. Hopefully, the EDT will provide me with a good alternative, but I really wish they would bring this back. It's already very hard to find.
My favourite of the Poison range.. Sadly it gave my husband multiple headaches so I passed it on to a friend back in 2013.. Sad that it was discontinued, & now hard to come by. I am left with fond memories of this beauty, perhaps one day we will meet again. I am not willing to pay the current market value for something I cannot wear though.
Sweet, strong on the ylang ylang with vanilla and I also get a strong almond note but it's not listed. No Play Doh at all, nothing weird, just a fruity smelling and safe scent. I don't know why I get fruit but it could be the florals and vanilla. Not sure why I get almond but I'm not complaining. Love it.
The only HP I can tolerate, I even almost like it. It opens with that Play-doh vanilla which is characteristic from the line, but after half an hour or so, it turns into a delicate floral, dancing among the orchids, orange blossom and ylang. It's a lot more friendly than any other HP itineration, but it's still a cold weather perfume for open spaces for me. Good sillage and longevity (12+ h). If you like the line, I highly recommend it. 6/10
I got to sample this rarity thanks to a generous Fragrantican and man, this is something else. I really enjoy the original Hypnotic Poison but sometimes I have a hard time handling everything being “too much”. Too sweet, too warm, too dry, too straightforward. This one is its younger, fresher, flirtier sister. She still likes to seduce, but likes being seduced also. She is not intimidating at all, yet she is still ultra feminine and voluptuous. Practically, that is achieved mostly through the orange blossom and ylang ylang, which I can smell quite clearly in addition to everything that the original flanker has. Those floral/citrus notes take away some of the “excess” sweetness and give it a bit of a juicy, fresh edge. Overall though, one can still very much say this belongs to the a Hypnotic Poison family. That’s a flanker done right.
Crazy people eau sensuelle doesn't smell like HP Dior. It smell like strong air fresheners orquide.
This is my favourite perfume of life. It just hits so different. A recent dupe I found is Kilian Woman in Gold. It has a similar vibe just no where near as strong. It's a watered down version but I will take it. If anyone wants to sell their Dior I would love to buy it.
A while ago a friend gave me a bunch of samples, along them this discontinued Hypnotic Poison flanker that I found interesting before, but never dreamt of testing due to its rarity. What a lucky coincidence. Eau Sensuelle is a more easygoing Hypnotic Poison. I'd even say that it's somewhere in between Hypnotic and Pure Poison, but closer to Hypnotic. It has the exact same vanilla, and even though there are no almonds listed, I still think there is something almond-ish in this. But it's missing the rubbery edge I dislike about HP EDT, it's lighter and more floral. The main note besides vanilla is orange blossom, which makes the scent light and clean. Almost a little soapy in the first minutes, but it warms up quickly. I can also clearly detect tuberose, which I always found very noticeable in the original HP, too, and powdery orchids. This is a lovely scent and a good alternative for those who want to stay in the Hypnotic Poison family but need something more subdued, appropriate for warm weather and daytime, but still sensual. I don't feel like I need this, especially not for the ridiculous prices it's going for now. There are so many good vanilla and orange blossom fragrances and my favorite HP is still the sultry EDP, but I understand why this is missed by many.
Orange blossom, orchid, vanilla and musk, pretty. I like it way better than the Hypnotic Poison reform. There's a salty ambergris quality to this, as well. In the final drydown, it is soft and powdery with a little of that Bandaid quality some frags have.
