In 2007, the house of Christian Dior released its fifth fragrance of in the Poison saga, named Midnight Poison, after its original Poison fragrance in 1985, Tendre Poison in 1994, Hypnotic Poison in 1998 and Pure poison in 2004. This Midnight Poison is created by Jacques Cavallier and Olivier Cresp in collaboration with Francois Demachy.
The fragrance is composed with a captivating yet elusive seductress in mind. Its singular signature is that of the queen of flowers, the rose, but a black and mysterious one set against a backdrop of patchouli and the aphrodisiac effects of amber. In its wake lies a metamorphosis of extraordinary sensuality. Its spicy yet powdery scent is perfect for night time use and may appeal to mature women rather than younger ones.
The perfume bottle is exquisite, round with a deep blue color and simulates a swirl design that mimics a pumpkin coach. John Galliano used the fairytale of Cinderella to interpret this perfume to us. The French actress Eva Green brought it to life. The mystery starts when the clock beats midnight, and she is disappearing in the haze. The colors of the flacon are cobalt and ultramarine blue, and it is designed to be reminiscent of Cinderella's dress. Not matter its scent, bottle design or propaganda film, the Midnight Poison is perfectly continuing and developing Christian Dior Poison legend.
