Tendre Poison

I'm willing to trade this perfume as it doesn't seem to suit my skin type. If you're interested in a swap, feel free to send me a private message.

This scent reminds me of "Mon Petit Chéri(e)", my endearing and cherished past.

This intoxicating blend of tuberose, honey, freesias, and orange blossom is a masterclass in perfumery, aptly dubbed "Poison Tendre". I find myself longing for its presence, reminiscing about my 20's when it was part of my daily routine. Its devoted fan base is puzzling, given that Dior discontinued this gem; I question the reasoning behind such a decision. While Poison Girl has its own charm, Tender Poison's unique character sets it apart and leaves a void in the market.

Sultry green notes reminiscent of freshly fallen dew, subtly sweetened by the gentle touch of a butterfly's kiss. A lush bloom unfurls, revealing a sumptuous flower with profound color depth. Honey infused with the richness of rubies creates a luxurious harmony. I'm fortunate to possess the vintage edition in its iconic Oval bottle, even though it's been discontinued - a true loss for perfume enthusiasts. While some may draw parallels between this scent and Cabotine de Gres on Fragrantica, I believe each one shines independently. The fleeting nature of masterpieces is often what makes them so precious; seize this opportunity if you can!

Eden Perfumes recently introduced this new scent on their website and I obtained a 10ml sample. To be honest, I don't recall the original formula well enough to compare accurately, as all their other fragrances have been impressive. This one features honeyed orange blossom and tuberose with an animalic, musky base. Due to my cold, I'm having trouble smelling anything right now so I'll need to retest it when I can recover but thought I'd share this update since some people weren't fond of the Divain version.
