The Poisons secret orchard
Every poison I have tested seems to contain a secret fruit note that is not listed anywhere.
With Pure Poison it is carambola (star fruit), with Poison it is dark grapes with a blueberry note, only here I cannot identify them. It's definitely something bright and sour, like sour gummy wine rings. Peach or nectarine? Apple or pear? It seems to be somewhere between these notes.
Unfortunately, there are not so many possibilities to get to the bottom of this. Every drop could be the last in the world.
That's why I was overjoyed when I was allowed to sniff another almost empty Mini the other day. That's exactly how I remembered the smell. A Fruitchouli in the style of Coco Mademoiselle, but deeper, more angular and with more interesting notes, not just banal orange and rose (nothing against orange and rose, but the theme is already a bit worn out!) I also smell jasmine, and I'm pretty sure that there are peony and currant notes hidden here, because there is a very subtle greenish herbaceous impression, with this aroma of moist flower stems, which I only know from peonies.
At the same time it goes a bit into a "golden" direction like D&G The One, but much more subtle. Midnight Poison especially doesn't have that hairspray touch that can look so pretentious and dolled up on The One. If I knew what exactly is responsible for this impression, it might be less interesting - but maybe not.
I don't smell patchouli very strongly, but I am probably a little hardened, so many of my perfumes have patchouli in the base that I sometimes don't even notice it consciously anymore Chypre? Gloomy? No idea. I find it simply beautiful and unique. I'll never understand why this one in particular was hired.
And I will always be angry that I didn't buy a bottle at that time. Or better yet, ten in advance.
