Carlos BenaïmDominique RopionOlivier Polge

"Pure Poison is a floral fragrance for women introduced by Dior in 2004 as part of the Poison family. It was created by Carlos Benaïm, Dominique Ropion, and Olivier Polge, and is built around a luminous white-floral structure framed by bright citrus and smooth woods. The scent is widely characterized by jasmine, orange blossom, and gardenia over a soft sandalwood, cedar, white amber, and musk base. Compared with the darker or sweeter Poison flankers, Pure Poison presents a cleaner, cooler, more radiant style of seduction. Its reputation in the market is that of an elegant white floral with a polished designer signature and enduring mainstream appeal."

Fun Facts

Pure Poison was composed by a rare trio of major perfumers: Carlos Benaïm, Dominique Ropion, and Olivier Polge.

It stands out in the Poison line for its brighter white-floral character rather than the heavier dark-fruity or gourmand profile associated with some other Poison releases.

Reviews Summary

“Market and community feedback consistently describe Pure Poison as a polished white floral with strong jasmine-orange blossom presence, a clean musky aura, and a cool, elegant rather than overly sweet personality. Reviewers often praise its femininity, versatility, and noticeable trail, while some perceive an animalic or soapy-musky edge beneath the florals. It is generally well liked as a signature-style designer scent for women, with strong aggregate ratings and long-term popularity.”
