Creme-filled black licorice
This smelled like if Twizzlers made a creme-filled star-anise flavor of licorice. Or almost like a root beer float.

I didn't get any other notes - no orange blossom, no jasmine... just the star-anise/root beer-y, creamy, and candy-like profile.

Not for me, personally - I dislike anything similar to licorice/star-anise, and prefer to drink my root beer floats rather than smell like them. But I know this is a fan favorite, and can see how many see this as cozy/sexy/perfect for colder weather.

Forbidden treat
Honestly this is so hypnotic, so much so that i can't decide if I love it! It's intense and dark, with a yummy yet rubbery feel to it. I smell it all: one second it's a fluffy sugary treat, and the other it's play dough, almonds and licorice. Despite it I feel like it's very wearable and even a bit sexy. Dry down is surgery and sweet which makes it all easier. Super interesting for my nose! Not sure if I'll buy it tho :)

Sexy and dangerous
The ultimate sexy perfume.

Everything's perfect here, the scent, the bottle... Powdery vanilla, almond, tonka, licorice... It all forms an intoxicating, almost dangerous scent. The bottle reminiscent of a poisoned apple reinforces this dangerous but so sexy femme fatale side.

A perfume to seduce but also to give yourself confidence. A timeless classic.

powdery almond BOMB
i get zero licorice. to me its just vanilla and almond powder. its strong as HELL. my friend wears this and you can smell her from the next room.it stays nuclear throughout the entire wear. it manages to not be cloying because of the powdery aspect.
its pleasant and cosy, but not as sexy or deep as the marketing might suggest.

Merci Monsieur Demachy
Dear Francois,

today you receive a love letter from Germany. From the East and from an area where most French people have not yet been.
Don't worry, my letter is purely platonic and I have no intention of throwing myself at you or any other part of your body. It also took me quite a while to figure out that you are the nose behind Hypnotik Poison. At first I was skeptical, because there are quite a few flankers of the 1985 Urpoison by my colleagues Jean Guichard and Edouard Fléchier. I'm not that much of a flanker. But here, oh yes, a discovery and what's the saying? Better late than never. I could easily throw myself into a purple negligee. But who would see that? So here I sit in hand-knitted socks and an alpaca wool sweater.
Liquorice is supposed to be in here? I thought the same thing for a while: No!
Floral absolutes, and of the kind I like. Orange blossom and jasmine went into the still. Somewhere I also read something about May bells and yes, with a lot of imagination I can also think them in. And then comes the licorice note. Well, liquorice is made from a root extract of liquorice. And it not only smells sweet, but also woody.
I liked liquorice even as a child. But that was almost 60 years ago. You may know my grandma (1914-2007). She hated liquorice and convinced me that it was made from bug blood and would attract mosquitoes. You can shape a child that way, but it didn't work for me. Mosquitoes? I wouldn't wear this full-bodied oriental in summer. Unless we get -5° C in July.
Besides, a mosquito is only human and in summer I usually wear chypres. The mosquitoes freeze to death before they bite.
You and I owe the fact that you are receiving this love letter to a dear perfume friend who discovered this fragrance with her nose.
I had actually resolved not to buy any more fragrances. But what are resolutions for? To overturn them. Dear Francois, this Poison ends up on my wish list and I give it 10 points each as an all-round score. How's the weather in France? With best regards
Your M.

A bit deeper and darker than the EDT version, also less sweet. Has the same almondy "playdough" smell though

Like a forbidden fruit, this scent is a very sexy and longlasting elixir where the licorice touch makes the difference.
Wonderful sillage.

I would love the scent but it's just too much of heavy suffocating cloud. One spray on the wrist stays printed on clothes for ages.

Best of the Poison flankers. Bold and assured in its notes. Begins heavy and quickly levels out to an ornate pastiche of dense notes.
