Dior Poison

You can buy the genuine Dior Poison straight from FragranceShop.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Dior Poison opens with Coriander and Spices; a heart of Tuberose; drying down to Opoponax, from notes Nordstrom publishes. Those notes read as spicy, floral, amber, sweet, musky, the coarse families Sephora cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Dior Poison runs $85.95 at FragranceShop.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them; the "smells-like" alternatives start around $12.95.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Poison by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Poison, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Dior Poison is listed as a women's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "women's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.

Unbranded Poison is the alternative we list first for Poison, ranked on shared cited accords then price, at $12.95 against $85.95 for the genuine bottle. Most alternative houses publish no scent profile of their own, so for those we show the original's cited accords rather than claim an independently verified match. It's meant to evoke Poison, not replicate it, so we link the real bottle first and let you judge for yourself.

Amouage Honour (shares Opoponax, Coriander, Tuberose); Amouage Jubilation Xxv (shares Opoponax, Coriander). These share specific notes with Poison, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Poison's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Poison, and has its own page.
