And then I came upon this shining red star which is an extremely warm thing : Hypnotic Poison. The vanilla iis so seductive, soo enriching, and with the jasmine that balances things out perfectly, the bitter almonds create a gentle, soft twist. Hypnotic Poison is really very hypnotic, it makes me want to bathe in vanilla rich creaminess. Sometimes it drives me mad, it's such a warming, sweet and perfect scent that I want to much my wrist spritzed with the warm juice. Really hypnotic, highly sensual, very benevolent. Annick Menardo really new what she was doing when she created this heavenly perfume. This perfume's Eau Sensuelle version has been the inspiration for my NST name. Dior has been a wonder in this creation, a creation unforgettable for centuries to come.

It might smell like warm vanilla cupcakes topeed with bitter almonds coming fresh from an oven, and to some it smells like burnt cookies. All due to body chemistry :) On everyone the perfume smells different.

Less jasmine and anise, from what I read, and more noticeable vanilla. One blogger (I forget which) compared old and new bottles, and found them basically the same aside from some subtle tweaks and less va-va-voom intensity. So...who knows? The bottle I bought today smells just like the HP I'm familiar with from my first sample, and from smelling it on umpteen people in the year since my above post. (Yes, it took me a whole year to stop waffling - can I pull it off? Is it too sweet? Do I really like it that much? Will I tire of it? - and just buy the damn thing. Every time I caught whiffs of it on a friend or coworker, I found it intoxicating to the point of distraction. I don't like gourmand scents as a rule, and my feelings about vanilla run hot and cold at best, but you can't help who you fall in love with, right? I want to bloody BATHE in this stuff. The most satisfying $60 I've spent in a long while. Now I can get on with my life.)

I definitely want to revisit and try it because, I liked Pure Poison and want to try the other members of the Poison family.

HP is just beautifully done- the almond note is natural and not overly sweet, the jasmine is just enough. After going smelling multiple newly released fragrances marketed as being "sexy" and "dark" only to find a trend of overly sweet berry notes, mixed with a synthetic clean patchouli note that more like Febreeze than Venice Beach, I was happy to find this more sophisticated, wearable sexy fragrance. I also love that Monica Belucci is the model for it- to me, a beautiful Italian woman in her 40's is the epitome of sophisticated sexuality.

Just heard recently that HP has been reformulated, maybe, so have been meaning to go smell it again. Agree about root beer floats!
