I missed the start of this – when did the flankers start having flankers?
Oh, you should read Robins Review of L’Ambre des Merveilles!
Than you’ll know what flanker of a flanker of a flanker really is:)
But Hypnotic Poison is so unique and distinctly original that it’s hardy a flanker anymore… It’s sort of a fragrance of The Poison family.
Oh, this isn’t even the first for Hypnotic Poison. They’ve already done Eau Sensuelle. Can’t remember others, but they might exist.
Anyone know where i can sniff this in ARizona?it is April and all the Dior salespeople look at me like Im nuts for asking!
I have not seen it anywhere in the US, and no idea if they will distribute it here or not, sorry!
I like the notes… will try.
But I Agree with AnnieA, we are in the stage where we need specialized family-tree software just to track the flankers… LOL
So true!
I wonder how different this is from Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle? The bottle looks the same.
Yes, I think it is:

Perhaps it’s the same juice just trussed up differently?
I remember when I came home wearing Hypnotic Poison… My roommate – although she was familiar with my tastes (I wore Opium and Versace Noir Crystal at that time ) – said to me:
- It’s just monstrous!
It was forbidden to apply this one inside the room.
Shame, I love HP!
I loved it too! Although I never had a bottle and now I cannot understand why?
Robin, have you ever tried the original Versace Versus Donna? It was also in a red bottle – and the rumor has it – it was sexy as hell! Did it smell similar to this one (HP) or anything you know?
No, sorry!
Hello, I have the original Versus, it does not smell similar to hypnotic poison, but it is one of those fragrances that you can smell without any trouble.
I gave my 10 yo daughter a sniff from a HP tester a few weeks ago and she declared it a perfume suitable for a serial killer. I did not know whether to laugh or feel disturbed.
that is very funny! Perhaps she was reacting more to the name than the smell?
Well, a serial killer wouldn’t like to be detected too soon in the dark, or to be remembered and recognized… so, no way!
And yet apparently some serial killers like to leave their own particular trace? Would make a good book or movie plot anyway. But yes, Merlin is probably right. My daughter was probably reacting to the name.
How is this not new Miss Dior (Cherie) with vanilla and not patchouli in the base? How is this anything?
No ad campaign?
Yes!
Another Hyp flanker! Can’t wait! And I am serious! Love the other flankers of hyp poison..except could go with less or no tuberose..glad to see it’s not in the notes! Whooooooo, can’t wait.
Maybe the Eau Sensuelle goes away (not selling enough) and it’s replaced by Eau Secrete. Or they make a collection, as for Dior Addict (does Dior Addict For Life still exist? Or it lasted for 5 months, before they relaunch the trio?)
Not a fan of Dior Addict or the flankers.
Not sure about Addict to Life…too many Addict flankers maybe, idk lol.
I have the original red weird shaped bottle of Versace Versus. It is a very strong vanilla herbal to me. I always get compliments when I wear it, but I only wear it in the winter. Did I mention that its very strong?!
I loved HP in the late 90′s. I probably have outgrown it. I’m curious
