Discontinued Rare Christian Dior Esprit de Parfum 30ml Bottle Type

This is detailed information regarding the release background, timing, fragrance composition (notes), and discontinuation of Dior Poison Esprit de Parfum.

Release Background and Timing

Release Year: 1990 (※The original Poison Eau de Toilette was released in 1985)

Background: Poison, launched in 1985, was a global mega-hit with its intensely distinctive fragrance. Amidst its overwhelming popularity, Esprit de Parfum (Spirit of Perfume), a special concentration, was added in 1990 for enthusiasts seeking a richer, more sensual, and luxurious concentration.

Fragrance Type: Based on the unique Fruity-Spicy-Oriental structure of Poison, it has been finished with an even more dense and warm fragrance profile.

Top Notes: Plum, Wild Berry, Coriander, Anise, Rosewood

Middle Notes: Tuberose, Honey, Incense, Cinnamon, Opoponax, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Rose

Base Notes: Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood, Musk, Heliotrope, Vetiver

Characteristics: Upon application, it initially exudes a sweet and tart berry scent with spicy herbs, gradually layering with the alluring tuberose and rich honey-incense. It has less of the sharp edge found in the current Eau de Toilette, with a mellow and deep sweetness that persists.

Discontinuation Period: Production ended (discontinued) in the early 2000s.

Reason: Due to strengthened regulations on fragrance ingredients by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) (restrictions on the use of natural musk, certain spices, floral essential oils, etc.) and a shift in trends towards lighter fragrances, it became difficult to maintain the original formulation, leading to its discontinuation.
