About This Perfume
Dior Poison Girl Unexpected smells like sweet ginger and orange, creamy vanilla perfume. It opens with Tanzanian ginger, bitter orange and salty notes, moves into damask rose, peony and jasmine sambac and settles on vanilla, musk and Venezuelan tonka bean. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits date nights. Released in 2018.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike fruity fragrances.
Around $122.
