Tendre Poison Parfum

Tendre Poison by Dior is the gentler, more approachable sister in the legendary Poison fragrance family. Released in 1994 as an Eau de Parfum for women, it took the dramatic, provocative spirit of the original Poison and softened it into something warm, sweet, and utterly feminine.

The opening is a beautiful mix of brightness and intrigue. Bergamot and tangerine provide sparkling citrus, while Brazilian rosewood adds a smooth, slightly floral woodiness that gives the top notes an instant feeling of luxury.

Galbanum contributes a green, slightly bitter freshness, and asafoetida, a rare and unusual ingredient, adds a subtle pungent quality that gives the opening complexity and depth. The heart is rich and romantic.

Tuberose and freesia create a white floral bouquet that is both heady and delicate. Rose adds classic floral elegance, while neroli and orange bring a creamy citrus sweetness.

Honey is the heart's most distinctive note, adding a warm, golden sweetness that makes the florals feel soft and inviting rather than sharp or cold. The base is a comforting, gourmand embrace.

Vanilla provides warm sweetness, heliotrope adds a powdery, almond-like quality, and sandalwood contributes creamy woodiness. Musk ties everything together with a clean, skin-like warmth that makes the fragrance feel intimate and personal.

With an impressive range of dominant accords spanning citrus, gourmand, powdery, woody, vanilla, and floral, Tendre Poison is a fragrance of remarkable complexity. Despite its many facets, everything blends harmoniously into a scent that feels effortless and natural.

It captures that rare quality of smelling both sophisticated and comforting at the same time. A beautiful choice for cooler weather and evening occasions when you want to feel wrapped in warmth.
