Attempt at an explanation for a much-loved and much-hated person
Not much more needs to be said about Poison - the original Poison, the first version in the 1980s - even back then people loved or hated it!
The extravagant opulence, which was sprayed even more extravagantly, made the flock of his followers grow enthusiastically as the flock of his opponents formed; whereby I am quite convinced that here again everything is due to the dosage.
As a lover of heavy (oriental) fragrances, I naturally had to have Poison as soon as it was released; the fragrance has been in my possession ever since in the form of the beautiful green-black atomizer, which is an eye-catcher for any console.
In my enthusiasm, I also sprayed Poison over me in a space-consuming way, as it is done carefree with Eaux de Toilette. Usually you don't have to worry about it, because the slight concentration vanishes relatively fast......
And Poison? No way!
In the office at that time there was almost a rebellion of colleagues with very violent verbal attacks, angry snarling and much would not have been missing, that a "delegation" had formed in order to obtain a warning for the colleague in the knowledge that the boss was a matter-of-fact head, who appreciated a good eau de toilette, but did not think at all of oriental or other heavy scents in the office. No matter whether it was a woman or a man. Since I had a similar experience in the office with Tuxedo by Lauren some time ago, I wisely stayed away from my beloved heavy favorites; during the day.
Fortunately, all the indignation soon subsided, because the boss, in a brief and appeasing statement, decided that the windows should remain open for a longer period of time and that the colleague should go to the bathroom to eliminate the "inappropriate" smell with soap and water. But she was so shocked by the collective attack that she asked for a day's vacation and flew out of our offices. The collegial relationship with her colleagues did not remain permanently clouded, but years later she once told me that this experience had made her acutely aware that people should not be judged by their smiles and friendliness, but by the faces and behaviour they showed when familiar situations changed.... Thus Poison even contributed to a wisdom of life!
Even today I still shake my head, but also smile when I recall this experience; which inevitably happens when I dreamily sniff my poison with my eyes closed. It was also a lesson for me, as it were, because as far as the world of fragrances is concerned, I met quite a few people in the years and decades to come who were completely at odds with scents, whether gentle or wild, fresh or spicy, feminine or masculine, and even rejected them with a vehemence that can certainly be compared with the total abstainers in terms of any alcoholic enjoyment.
A form of tolerance and consideration also includes not unnecessarily provoking these gentlemen - if they (have to) stay in the immediate vicinity.
I have made the experience with Poison after several "wrong doses", that ONE spot on the wrists, OR behind the ear, OR between the breasts OR in the hollow of the knee is enough to be pleasantly wrapped up with the warm, soft, beguiling flatterer and to be flirted with charm!
As far as the reformulation(s) are concerned, unfortunately I cannot comment on this; I only know and love the "old" Poison. Perhaps I will come across the new one again?
