The Forbidden Vanilla

Hypnotic Poison is not a fragrance — it is a spell.

Annick Menardo constructs a dark, addictive vanilla built on contrast:
Velvety. Almond-poisoned. Skin-bound.

At the top, Hedione and Florol give an air of deception — a soft floral glow that hides the danger underneath. Then the trap closes:
Vanillin + Ethyl Vanillin + Heliotropin + Trimofix form a dense, creamy almond-vanilla accord that feels edible and narcotic at the same time.

Under the skin, a triad of Habanolide, Helvetolide, and Muscenone wraps the composition in a second-skin musk aura — clean yet carnal, angelic yet animal. Polysantol, Sandalore, and Ambroxan warm the vanilla into something smoky and hypnotic.

A flash of Anisic Aldehyde introduces the addictive “almond bitter” signature, like the dangerous sweetness of cyanide in a fairy tale.

✨ The Result

Vanilla as a toxin.
Soft as velvet.
Sharp as desire.

The perfume that seduces before you even realise you’ve fallen.
