Please bring it back! It’s a unique scent that lasts for hours on my skin.
Will my great love ever return? As long as it’s not green, rose, and vanilla notes… Anyway, it was, is, and will always be my signature fragrance. I have one and a half bottles, and like the first day, it exudes overwhelming beauty and sensuality, nothing like the other Hypnotics.
I loved it so much and wore it daily for work, until I stopped liking its fragrance mixed with the smell of a few students reeking of dirty dogs. And I left it. Now, after many years, it seems very sweet and is always there, as if waiting for me in my collection, although I’m moving on to Narciso Rodríguez Poudrée, which I find less sweet. Even though I know it’s a great perfume, its performance on my skin was incredible, lasting over 8 hours, and on clothes, no need to say. I’ll give it another chance for other occasions because I still want it, but it reminds me of those terrible years… Anyway, I don’t know.
I love the opening of this perfume immensely. It’s an orchid, orange blossom, and creamy ylang bomb, all supported by a sweet, woody vanilla that prevents it from falling into the ‘bouquet’ category. After an hour, the perfume has changed completely, losing its floral facet and taking on a smell like salty caramel or playdough. However (and unlike most ‘playdough’ perfumes), I find this one more bearable. It’s one of those perfumes that lasts and lasts, as it projects on me and stays until I shower. Feminine and for the cold season, I think it can be worn at any time and for all occasions in environments that aren’t too claustrophobic (its trail is quite marked), although I believe it works better as a night fragrance. I’m not very knowledgeable about the Poison line (especially the HP flankers, which I’ve only tried once), but, regarding the original HP, it seems much less sweet and its opening much more floral, despite the dry down being quite similar. Pleasant: 6/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 1/10 (flanker of a flanker? lol)
Where has this preciousness gone? Why did they discontinue it? Even when the more sober and nocturnal EDP was launched, it was said that Sensuelle would stop being made. Even more beautiful and sexy than the EDT, this warm and enigmatic fragrance was loved by many of us and was the ideal option for those, like me, who never liked the original Poison. That orchid with sandalwood and vanilla did wonders and was a sure bet for compliments with an indestructible longevity. It would have been interesting to keep it in the collection instead of Girl and its flanker, which are so common and simple. Unfortunately, I only have the empty bottle left.
It’s the most beautiful perfume I’ve ever felt, along with Addict EDP. It’s sweet and vanilla, but that slightly talcum and enveloping vanilla so characteristic of Dior. The sandalwood, soft rose, and orange blossom make this aroma something super warm and pleasant. I feel in limbo when I wear it!! It has me in love!!
It was, is, and will be my favourite; its base is one of the most delicious vanillas I’ve tried. The flowers envelop you and hypnotise you; you feel so sexy with it… I don’t understand why they discontinued it; it’s one of the best in the Poison family, especially compared to the newer ones. Recently, someone told me about Tesori d’Oriente Fiore del Dragone; it reminds me of many notes, but logically, Eau Sensuelle is inimitable.

Darlenedrock, hello. I’ve seen it in Sephora and Nocibé. What happens is that I was also looking for it online but they don’t sell it there, you have to go to the store. But have patience, maybe they will catalogue it again. The price seems a bit high, I’m seeing it for 90 euros and others for 150. If not, you can also test the J’adore Absolute perfume, which is a bit like Poison Sensuelle. J’adore Absolute is more floral, the only thing is it doesn’t last as long as Poison. I’ll tell you again about the prices and bottle sizes, I don’t remember if the one I saw was 50 ml or more. Best regards.
Thanks La Plus Belle! Here in Argentina, neither of those two stores you mentioned are available, so I only have to wait… I can’t even find it in the online store. What a shame. I loved this fragrance.
La Plus Belle, where did you get this perfume? I’m desperate to have it back and it’s discontinued. I’m from Argentina. Thanks.
What a marvel! Sincerely, I thought all the Poisons had heavy, cloying trails, but this one captivated me with an excellent sillage. I tried it by chance while looking for Midnight Poison and what a surprise; I think it’s one of those perfumes that make you fall in love at first sniff.
I had this a few months ago and have now finished it. I only wore it on special occasions and stretched it out for years because it was discontinued in Spain (I’m not sure if that’s the case elsewhere) and I was heartbroken thinking I’d never smell it again. Its scent never changed over time; it’s of excellent quality. It’s very similar to Hypnotic Poison but less sweet and more floral, slightly more elegant and erotic. It had great longevity and a lovely trail. Perfect for dates or night outs, it was truly seductive. If you’re lucky enough to find it still in a perfumerie, buy it; it’s wonderful.
I miss this fragrance. I don’t understand why they took it off the market. I hate the original Hypnotic Poison. This was a gift that pleasantly surprised me. Years ago I finished the fragrance and keep the bottle with nostalgia to smell it from time to time. I hope it returns to the market ——————— Incredibly, I managed to find another 100ml bottle of this fragrance, so I’m enjoying this sensual vanilla surrounded by flowers considerably 🥰
On my skin, it smells quite strongly of flowers; I’m not sure if they’re orchids or neroli, and I don’t detect the sandalwood, only a woody touch. In my opinion, it’s excessively floral, with a loud opening, and on my skin it lasts approximately 4 hours. I don’t feel the sensuality; rather, flowers, flowers, and more flowers. I thought because it had vanilla I’d like it more; I’m not saying it’s a bad perfume or that it smells bad 🙂 I understand that each ph is different and highlights different notes in everyone. In my case, the flowers are too concentrated for my taste.
I like this fragrance; for me, it shares the florality of Pure Poison and the vanilla of Hypnotic Poison; the result is a rich nectar that doesn’t saturate or cloy, because it’s softer than the HP EDT and well-balanced between woods, flowers, and exquisite vanilla. It can be worn daily for various occasions; that versatility is also something to appreciate. When I’ve tried it on skin, it personalises itself so naturally that it becomes part of a… I feel like a fairy tale since I hold the apple in my hands… one of my favourites from the Poison line!!! A beautiful floral-vanilla scent!!! Although they tell me they’re going to discontinue it in my country, what a pity, now that we were getting along so well!!!
It’s the fruit of passion between Hypnotic Poison and Pure Poison.
I’m a huge fan of the ‘Poisons’, even though I haven’t been able to try all of them, as a few years ago I started liking perfumes, and certain versions are now obsolete or discontinued. I must admit that one of my favourites is ‘Hypnotic Poison’ in its common version. I bought the Eau Sensuelle and thought it would be the same as the common one, but I can assure you there are some differences. When I smell the perfume on skin, I realise it has the DNA of the first version, but obviously the orchid and other flowers blend into the perfume and differentiate it from the other version. When it dries down, it’s very sweet, due to its base notes of vanilla and musk. I liked it very much; Dior didn’t make a mistake, but rather tried to innovate successfully with this fragrance. I recommend it for those who wear the common version, or for those who find the heaviness of the perfume overwhelming 😀
I am a total fan of Poison, though I’ve missed out on a few versions as they’ve been discontinued. Of all of them, the classic Hypnotic Poison is my absolute favourite. I bought the Eau Sensuelle thinking it would be identical, but it has distinct nuances. On my skin, it retains the DNA of the original, although the orchid and other flowers give it its own unique touch. As it dries down, it becomes very sweet due to the vanilla and musk. I loved it; Dior nailed it by innovating. I recommend it to those who wear the classic or find its intensity overwhelming 😀
‘Hypnotic Poison’ (with all its red variants) is, in reality, the least consistent fragrance in the ‘Poison’ family… at first it seemed seductive in every aspect: its red bottle, the warm vanilla, the almond-like sweetness of the aroma. I was obsessed with acquiring it and, currently, it’s one of the fragrances I use the least: on my skin, it acquires a ‘synthetic’ scent, simple, lacking grace, which always ends up annoying me. It’s not horrible, but it doesn’t suit me. It has, however, good fixation and longevity.
Hypnotic Poison (with all its red variants) is, without a doubt, the least consistent member of the Poison family. At first, everything about it seduced me: the red bottle, the warm vanilla, and the almond-like gourmand note. I was desperate to own it, but now it’s one of the ones I use least. On my skin, it smells synthetic, simple and lacking character, and ultimately, it grates on me. It’s not bad, but it’s not mine. It has good longevity and sillage.
I just went to the perfumerie and tried this fragrance, oh! I fell in love. It’s absolutely exquisite; I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I can’t stop smelling my wrist. It’s sweet but moderate, strange and mysterious; I feel the woody notes and vanilla from the start, with a floral hint. I want to own it!

All the Hypnotic Poisons are truly wonderful, captivating, gripping, sexy, warm, sweet without being cloying, with that almond touch that makes them so special. True masterpieces of perfumery. No one remains indifferent if you dress in these fragrances, no one. You’ll be wrapped in an overwhelming aroma. I can assure you. In my opinion, they’re all among the best I’ve ever smelled in my life. At least for those who like oriental and vanilla perfumes, you’ll surely love them. Those who lean towards fresh and citrus scents, forget it, it’s not for you. But with this perfume, you’ll surely awaken unbridled passions… Let me know later…! 🙂
Almost identical to Hypnotic Poison, but with more florals. The jasmine shines much brighter and the bitter almond notes are less noticeable. It suits those who prefer florals over orientals better.
It’s like the original Hypnotic Poison but more floral; to me, it feels a bit watery, doesn’t last on the skin, and just smells like something sweet and nonsensical. I’m not a fan of Hypnotic because on my skin it smells like burnt plastic; this one lacks that note, but for me, it’s a weak EDT.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Snow White. The stepmother took the red apple, removed the cap, and perfumed herself generously. My queen, said the mirror, I’ve changed my mind. You are, you have been, and you always will be the fairest. Sometimes it’s so fun to be wicked.
Reminds me a lot of the first Hypnotic, but with a more sensual, almost human note, more fetishistic, and a touch of softness in the first few hours. The great Poison family.
Slightly sweeter and fresher, if that duality exists. The trail seems more youthful than in the traditional version, but that doesn’t make it any less intense. It’s a wonder; you can buy it if you already own the other, as there are subtle nuances between both.
Very similar to the first Hypnotic but more floral, with emphasised neroli notes, very good longevity, and an excellent trail.
