Hypnotic Poison Elixir

Thanks to katienchris's comment below, I've finally got this! If anybody else wants to re-home theirs, please let me know! And thanks for the warning about evaporation. It has to be the most weird and wonderful perfume I've ever had. I tried the original HP before this was released and liked it. Even there the bitter almond was dominant on me.The jasmine and pepper create a nice hint of discord on my skin, which stops it from being one-dimensional. But even there I thought that emphasizing the darker notes would improve the scent. Add to that its popularity, abuse and the one dimension it has on most people - all this made me hold off, even though I knew I was missing out. I had no chance to test the elixir when it showed up soon after. But it turns out it couldn't be more perfect had it been made to my order. The bitterness is more pronounced and more complex than in the original. The licorice stands out less than expected, but I'm not complaining. The slight off-note due to jasmine is also still there. As with most Dior scents, the lasting power is very impressive. I would sum it up with dark, beautiful and strange. To make the most of it, I'll probably still use the original HP, and the elixir will amplify the experience on occasion. I must try to use it rarely, so I never get used to its beauty.

I'm so happy I bought several bottles way back when it came out, I am still using my first bottle as it's so strong I only need to dot lightly. I decant it in a 10ml stainless steel ball glass roller. I think I have enough for the rest of my live and some! This is everything I love in a winter perfume, close to the body and so sensual, nothing compares. I also have the newer EDP, and vintage too, but the Elixir is what heaven must smells like. In love!

Hypnotic Poison Elixir smells pretty similar to the EDT. The elixir just seems a tad bit "warmer" and "darker" somehow. The distinct smell of liquorice and star anise are pretty prominent here, most notably in the opening stage. To my nose the elixir is a bit sweeter and more intense compared to the EDT. Probably because of the liquorice. At any rate, it's an absolutely wonderful, warm oriental scent. The elixir and EDT work really well together too! It is a little strange that the only notes listed on this page are liquorice, star anise, jasmine and vanilla though. The liquorice and star anise are the two "new" notes used to amp up the EDT into this elixir, but none of the other notes seem to have been sacrificed. I find that the playdough aspects are less noticeable compared to the EDT, while the rootbeer effect has been amped up instead. To me, this version of HP smells like a concentrated rootbeer with tons of pepper in it, but in the best way possible. Hypnotic Poison Elixir is quite powerful as far as sillage and longevity goes. It lasts at least 10 hours on me, and the sillage is reasonably heavy. No need to go trigger happy with this one!

this is a gourmant wich i LOVE. amazing sillage and staying power, seducive as well! dior got me hooked with this exilir a true gem ;-)
