Something sinister and internal and wicked is at work. Poison. Such a fine word to describe an evil act, or a despicable character, or a vile situation, etc. It wakes the listener up when “poison” is mentioned.
Christine Dior knew the word sells. According to Google: Launched in 1985, POISON is classified as a luxurious, oriental, floral fragrance. This feminine scent possesses a blend of amber, honey, berries, and other spices. It is recommended for romantic wear.
Spray into the air, step into the mist, let Poison permeates your hair, skin and clothes (instructions on how to wear perfume). Instead of paying close to a hundred dollars for a bottle, I need only to go down the street and get sprayed by car fumes. It’s not romantic but it’s the real deal.
