A love that never ends

I am writing my review on the much-maligned new version, which has unfortunately lost its power, but still holds its magic and luster.

I knew HP already longer, then I wore him even times to work, of course, only with mini dosage. The fragrance has always been very positive. Then I lost track of the fragrance, and got to know other, supposedly better candidates!

But I have never forgotten Hypnotic Poison! Last year we could, me and my better half after an endlessly long winter (in the lockdown), finally once again to Lake Constance, it was so beautiful! Of course we got thirsty as time went on, and the waitresses at the lakeside promenade were very nice and friendly. And we were always surrounded by such a beautiful fragrance. So fine-spicy-oriental, smelling of vanilla. Not a cloud of fragrance, but just a whiff when the lady approached us.
Immediately I knew that was Hypnotic Poison, we knew each other from before. And I knew, I must have the fragrance again. It was like a hint with the fence post, if you know that.

If you look at the fragrance notes, Hypnotic Poison was unfortunately robbed of its power, which has happened to many "strong" fragrances lately. On the page of Dior are only listed as a top note the bittersweet almond, in the heart note jasmine and the slightly spicy vanilla in the base. At least there is it but still to buy, you can be almost happy about it.

I myself smell as the very first only almonds, nothing else. The floral notes unfortunately go a little below, also the jasmine note is not very present with me. Coconut I no longer smell out, which I now find not so bad. Everything spicy is only subtly and discreetly perceptible. On my skin is after a little while only the vanilla there, but, no bored vanilla, but with a delicate, very slightly smoky woody spice underlaid. Almost like a subtle cream, only more multifaceted and after a while only a skin scent, but a very nice one. I still enhance this effect with my roll-on from HP, which I consider a good invention.
In my environment, the red apple is no longer worn at all, since grad other fragrances are more popular.....but, I would not care if so.

Unmistakable and unforgotten, the beauty of yesteryear reappears and draws me back under its spell! Is not so bad, if you do not immediately fall with the door in the house.....or?!

On the website of Dior, by the way, a sentence is quoted, I wanted to get rid of at the end, because I find the really very appropriate:
Hypnotic Poison is not worn, it wears you. Period.
