as Poison is a scent of seriousness, hardly playful or silly. It's smell suggests a sweet sort of musk, not flowery, and a little lasts all day. It is one of the few fragrances left that is unique and can't be confused with any other fragrance. I've gone through them all, and always come back to Poison. Women feel sexy with it on and men are hypnotized by the women who wear it. I have tried all the Poisons and still believe the original to be the most magical. Change to the Poison lotions in the summer, as they are softer. The perfume creats a most seductive mood in the night. I've worn Poison since the time it first was invented, and it still is my favorite. It is a scent any age can wear.
