... and then comes the car tire
Inspired by a certain thread here, I had the idea to write a review of this fragrance.
I owned the EdT many, many years ago, but at some point I just couldn't stand the smell anymore. I literally felt nauseous just smelling the spray head. Well, I gave it away and said goodbye to Hypnotic Poison. I had it for too long anyway..
Last year, however, I stumbled upon the videos of a well-known YouTuber here, who often recommended the EdP in her videos. I was a bit confused because normally the EdT is the "star" for most people. So, I eventually tested the EdP during a sniffing tour through the city.
And I must say: I fell in love immediately!!
To me, Hypnotic Poison Eau de Parfum does not smell like the Eau de Toilette! Yes, there is a certain similarity, but only towards the end! I like.
The EdP starts for me with vodka-soaked cherries. Yes, alcoholic cherries and vodka could fit, since vodka doesn’t have such a strong scent :D
After a few minutes, the cherries disappear and the fragrance becomes lush and oriental right away! Where the vanilla dominates in the EdT, here it’s a combination of all the notes.
I hate licorice, but here it didn’t bother me at all. On the contrary, it just fits!
I can't say it any other way, but the Eau de Parfum was simply sex in a bottle for me.
Riper, more seductive, and not as sweet as the EdT. Just beautiful!
However, the longevity and sillage leave much to be desired.
While the EdT lasts for hours!! this version fades away after about 4-5 hours. Well, you can’t have everything.
Now you’re probably wondering why I chose this title after such a declaration of love? ;)
Normally, I read the statements etc. here BEFORE I test a fragrance or maybe even buy it blind. Then I know roughly what I’m getting into..... But I didn’t do that here.....
To me, it smelled as described in this review. After wearing it a few times, I felt like reading the statements and often read that one can detect a rubber/car tire note here. Since then, I smell it too!! Now it stands here, eagerly waiting for me to wear it again..
What do I learn from this? No more reading statements once the fragrance has already been purchased! :D

At first, it lasted almost until the next day. Just like with the EDT when it was first released...

Yes, sometimes it's just suggestion when you rely too much on other people's opinions ;-)
