What do reviewers say about Betty Barclay Woman and Pure Poison?
There's a specific powdery-floral quality here that dates it to the 90s, and that's the appeal. Some noses find the hyacinth sharp at first. But give it time.Betty Barclay Woman
White florals at their most deliberate. This is the fragrance that doesn't ask permission, it just takes up space, cool and creamy and unafraid. Pure Poison isn't trying to convert you.Pure Poison
