...I apologize, for some reason I read it as "Hypnotic Poison", probably because I was trying to find a bottle from an old batch online, that was how I ended here in the first place (the red box was still in front of my mental eye evidently). I hope someone less hasty can give you a proper answer.

...I am the victim. I've been using HP for 30 years as my signature perfume now and my last bottle (bought a month ago) was so different that I triple-checked its provenance. The differences I'm able to tell are these:- the sillage is poor- not so long-lasting as before- the scent itself is more "dry", less sweet (this one I appreciate), but it is also less creamy (I am not sure this is a compliment)- can't put my finger on it, but there is something that reminds me of dark chocolate (which I don't like)- the woody note is somewhat differentAlso I could add, all the previous versions were great for sweaty summer nights. Now it is more winterish. Maybe it is a bit more "ladylike", but it lost a part of its brazen appeal. My husband says it is not as sexy as before, and I do believe him. I mean, I am not going to give it up, it's still HP, but I am somewhat disappointed.
