What do reviewers say about Poison and Jil Sander No. 4?
Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison
This is a proper 1990s powerhouse. The galbanum opening might surprise those expecting typical florals, but the heart delivers generous white florals that justify its cult status.Jil Sander No. 4
