Tendre Poison Dior 1994 Eau de Toilette

Times change, things come and go, and usually, I have no problem with that. But with Tendre Poison... it still hurts a little.
I fell in love with this beautiful perfume right after its release. I must have sprayed through 3 bottles, it was the 90s, I had just graduated and had little money, but I simply couldn't do without Tendre Poison. It was ALWAYS in my, then still very small collection, it was my signature scent for years, and whenever I was sad, a spritz was enough to cheer me up again. I was overjoyed when a friend gifted me a nearly full bottle because she simply didn't like Tendre Poison.

We could have lived happily and contentedly ever after. Until Dior threw a wrench in the works.
I found out far too late that you had been discontinued, far too late to stock up on any remaining supplies. And to this day, I wonder, Dior wtf???? Why exactly THAT one? For years, I kept thinking about you, lamenting, telling everyone about it, searching for a replacement but to no avail. In the meantime, I have a replica that comes quite close to the original, even though it doesn't have that finely woven, delicate quality of the original.

Only the release of Pure Poison 10 years later eased my pain, even though it is completely different. I have several backups of that in my drawer. You never know...
