Hypnotic Poison Dior 1998 Eau de Toilette

I own Hypnotic Poison. I hardly wear it, and when I do, I realize: No, that was again not a good idea! Although I test it regularly and really want to like it; Hypnotic Poison annoys me. Do you know those quite sweet children who seek contact when you want to be left alone at the beach or in a restaurant? Loud and annoying but still very sweet. You can't be angry with them, but you're glad they're not your own. So now, seriously. I find Hypnotic Poison loud, annoying, synthetic, flat, and yes, I’m really sorry, it just doesn’t smell expensive or high-quality. It can say Dior on it ten times. Unfortunately, I can't find the much-discussed sexiness either. Well, I’ll try it again in winter... But I’ll probably end up reaching for Addict instead. Because that one is really sex in a bottle for my nose.
One thing I must give HP credit for: The longevity is top-notch! Addendum: This review was not detailed enough for an admin, so I was informed that this review will be deleted unedited... So, let's continue with the critique: Hypnotic Poison smells overly sweet to me and the vanilla has an artificial, not very high-quality "note." I perceive an indefinable and disturbing clay note paired with a rubber tire, along with something bitter. The scent is very sticky and I can't really detect a true evolution in the fragrance. One-dimensional is a keyword I find fitting here. Longevity and sillage are excellent, as mentioned above, so just one spray is already pushing the limits of overdosage. What also turns me off about the scent - the price in relation to the performance. There are now several alternatives to this fragrance that, aside from longevity, don't differ much. I suspect that the imitation works so well due to the lack of complexity. Nonetheless, I do not want to deny that when HP was released, this fragrance was quite innovative.
