Vintage "Gift".
I tried this fragrance carefully.
First I bought bottling. Recently, I finally received a bottle of Christian Dior Poison - vintage "Gift". There is a little residue in the bottle. In the case of Poison, by "vintage" I mean the pre-rock formulation that turned smoky, dark gothic plum into grape soda.
The reformulation took place somewhere in the mid-2000s.
Correct me if anyone knows better.
Around the same time, the massive oval bottle was transformed into a round apple, the words "Christian Dior" were reduced to the surname "Dior" and the words "Eau de Toilette" disappeared completely.
The address also changed.
Until 1990 - 1991: 30 Avenue Hoche, Paris.
After 1990-91 it became 33 Avenue Hoche, Paris
Regarding batch code. For example, if there are 5 characters (number, letter, number, number, number), then it was published before 1998!
The first digit always indicates the year.
The barcode and the volume also play a role.

The classic Poison is quite well preserved. Stays long lasting, loud, sillage, rich and intense. And the older it is, the more beautiful I find it.
The aroma is very strong. I use it sparingly, just as armor for another difficult day, to withstand the onslaught of life's trials and not break from them. Therefore, the rest in the bottle lasts me a long time.
I like the vintage Poison better than the new one. But the important thing is that it is at least made that way. And new generations discover new facets of a wonderful flavor.
But if possible, get to know the great vintage Poison.

A fruity aroma with a good classic sound - a reminder of the great Madame Grès.
The perfume was created by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur.
This is a student of the famous perfumer Michel Almairac, who shared his extensive knowledge and experience with her.
Lancesseur's approach has a strong preference for woody scents such as patchouli and vetiver, which evoke memories of her time in the French countryside.
The Gres Madame Gres perfume has everything to become a classic - thoroughly sophisticated modernity with some refined retro, moderate sweetness and moderate fruity notes, an appropriate spiciness and unique leather tones that blend with the body odor and create an individual aroma.
Therefore, you need to apply the perfume directly to the skin, bypassing the blotter. I liked it best listening from my wrist. The scent of perfume on skin and clothing is very different. And when you apply perfume to your skin or hair, you can tell exactly if that perfume is right for you.
A characteristic feature of Madame Gre's work was her penchant for "living clothes", that is, making clothes from silk and wool, her favorite materials, but without patterns, directly on the model. Cardboard with a convex pleated pattern of an evening gown is reminiscent of the magnificent Madame Gres.
The perfume is feminine and versatile: it can be worn in the evening or at the office. Sounds much more expensive than it actually costs.
This is a very affordable luxury of high quality!
The whole apartment is filled with a spray of perfume.
Juicy fruits in the head, spicy cardamom and just great doses of sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla. Sweet, rich and interesting. This is a wonderful true representative of French perfumery.
While the opening is such that its freshness and fruitiness can give a false impression, the base is beautifully done.
Incidentally, it blends well with leather and suede fragrances.
Overall, a very underrated fragrance.
It's good for the cool season for those who love sweet, fruity aromas with a good classic sound. It smells best in the fall, warm and cozy, with more vanilla, but in the winter it becomes more patchouli and spiky.
The silage is rich, you can even get a compliment, but the owner herself can be strangled. Therefore, a purchase is recommended only after testing.
Yes, an old-school style perfume. But that's exactly what appealed to me. Now, how many of these cookies and cakes can you have? And here everything is as it should be, the smell of perfume, not food.
The box and the bottle without the cap resemble the old Serge Lutens design. A beautiful apricot-colored bottle and a sunny golden liquid.
If you want to flirt, cheer up and smile, I highly recommend it.

A collector's find
This is a celebrity fragrance, but a pure luxury story at a mass market price (in 2015).
The perfume was launched by the popular Colombian television presenter, model and actress Sofia Vergara, who successfully starred in American television series. She is a good comedic actress. Take a look at the series "Modern Family".
Vergara is not only an actress, but also a successful businesswoman.
Sofia Vergara Love - an oriental floral aroma with luxurious, velvety undertones of coffee.
The perfume opens with a characteristic Colombian aroma - a delicate, cool scent of sweet, sunny mandarin.
At the center of the sound is the warm, exciting scent of velvety Colombian coffee.
In the final chord of the composition, the aroma of coffee beans at the heart of the fragrance blends with the subtle, silky, spicy scent of coffee tree blossom and gently settles on a base of the sophisticated scent of amberwood.
The heart accord is very different from the original Sofia Vergara Sofia composition.
A very high-quality performance for a celebrity fragrance: a high-quality bottle, a solid pyramid. Sofia Vergara is the author of the bottle and box design.
The aroma is of luxurious quality, loud, bright and intriguing.
It is similar in some ways to YSL Black Opium.
If you are looking for an inexpensive analog, I advise you to take a closer look.
But it might already be too late.
The prices for these have risen from 25 to 160 euros.
I only apply the perfume as a cloud or half a spritz on my wrist.

This is an elixir of good humor.
You can feel the mastery of Olivier Cresp and Marie Salamagne, who created Black Opium for Yves Saint Laurent.
The complementary, complex and deep aroma reveals itself little by little.
It is amazing that iris, patchouli and vanilla - three components - make such a complex sound and development. The pyramid is simple. Or perhaps all genius is simple? But such a long-lasting and sonorous perfume cannot consist of just three components!
I am interested.
In the composition indicated on the perfume packaging:
Linalool (lavender, mint, ylang-ylang, bergamot...),
Limonene (lemon),
Geraniol (rose, lavender, mint),
Alpha-isomethil-ionone (iris-purple-powdery),
Citronellol (apple with citrus fruits)
Coumarin (spicy-hay-like scent),
Isoeugenol (clove with woody and floral notes),
Eugenol (sweet, spicy aroma of clove buds with woody and slightly floral undertones. Denser and richer than iso-eugenol),
etc.
That's all except the basic perfume composition.
Therefore, the composition given on the website is of course very approximate. The imagination and life experience of each individual helps them to complete their fragrance.
Velvety patchouli, subtle vanilla, noble irises, berries...
Or perhaps it is not necessary to analyze the aroma in notes?
I simply enjoy it.
A beautiful, calm, shimmering aroma with good longevity and a sweet, powdery sillage.
This is an elixir of good humor. Suitable for the evening and at home. I want to be busy! Beautiful in any weather, but especially beautiful in fall. A fall-winter relaxer, especially in rainy weather.
The bottle is an enchanting drop, as if made from a piece of amber, like a vial for magic potions!
Judging by the price increase, the perfume has been discontinued or will be discontinued. Write who has reliable sources.

Pleasant, light, cheerful, simple aroma.
Perfume Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo Mirror Edition pour Femme -
Flanker of the famous perfume L'Eau par Kenzo pour Femme (1996).
However, it is the freshest and has richer juicy fruity notes.
The floral accord sounds like light floral accents in it.
Good for the summer season.
Limited.
The author of the fragrance is perfumer Antoine Lie, who also created Valentino Gold,
Armani Code Giorgio Armani, Crystal Noir Versace etc.
In L'Eau par Kenzo Mirror Edition pour Femme, the bouquet of the composition is based on expressive, refreshing mint and fruit accords,
which are complemented by lighter sweet accents, floral notes of lily of the valley, violet and sandalwood aromas.
Raspberry and melon are rather subtle, not too overpowering. As a result, the freshness dominates the sweetness and reveals an aquatic note - something spring-like that melts in the wind, a little like willow.
The aroma is floral, aquatic, even a little toy-like.
It creates an image that is perhaps a little flirtatious and frivolous, but that doesn't detract from it.
It is more of a daytime fragrance.
In general, it's girly and youthful, but it will look perfectly adequate on an adult woman.
