Real talk
Most fragrances announce themselves loudly. This one stays close. The powder is the point here, it transforms the tuberose and plum into something that smells like skin but better.Basic Instinct
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
