What do reviewers say about Pure Poison and Jour d'Hermes?
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
This is the Hermès that doesn't announce itself. Jean-Claude Ellena called his work 'olfactory watercolours', this one barely fills the paper. If you want a fragrance that enters a room before you do.Jour d'Hermes
