The Poison Girl perfume by Christian Dior. The apple is a fruit that has always drawn much attention. While it is of course associated with the forbidden fruit of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, it also symbolizes powerful and contemporary brands.
The house of Dior is always synonymous with elegance and refinement. It is a standard-bearer of French chic and spreads its craftsmanship across the world. Yet it also sometimes plays in a more provocative register, as evidenced by its feminine fragrance Poison Girl. Floral, oriental and gourmand, it owes its existence to perfumer François Demachy. It depicts the portrait of a modern-day girl, as feminine as she is provocative, with a hint of nonchalance. Devilish yet irresistible, Poison Girl has plenty of character and loves to draw attention. This is also reflected in its bottle. Here is a breakdown of its bottle.
The history of Dior's Poison fragrance
Poison Girl borrows its history and visual identity from a long lineage of fragrances. Indeed, it all began one fine day in 1985, when Dior created a scent named Poison. Infinitely spicy and powerful, it lacked nothing in character and came in a glass bottle shaped like an apple. Initially, this bottle was the work of designer Véronique Monod. It was then an amethyst-colored fruit, as mysterious as it was captivating. Year after year, this fragrance reinvented itself, giving rise to other women's fragrances named Tendre Poison, Hypnotic Poison, Pure Poison, Midnight Poison, and Poison Girl in 2016. Logically, the new Poison Girl bottle is thus imbued with this collection's heritage.
Poison Girl, a fragrance presented as a forbidden fruit
Like its predecessor, Poison Girl adopts a rounded silhouette inspired by an apple. Of course, if this shape was chosen by Dior, it is above all because it carries a very strong universal significance. In many civilizations and cultures, the apple is synonymous with forbiddance and temptation. It is the forbidden fruit that is impossible to resist. The message is clear: Poison Girl is a fragrance as dangerous as it is captivating. The woman who wears it proves devilishly sexy!
Dior's pink-and-black bottle contrast
While the shape of Poison Girl remains the same as its predecessors, its color, on the other hand, is a genuine novelty. For the very first time, Poison Girl plays with transparency, while embracing a bold pink color. Unmistakably tied to femininity, the pink here is very flashy. With it, going unnoticed is impossible. It is bold and draws attention as much as it seduces. It is also counterbalanced by a black shade. Completely opposed to the pink transparency of this bottle, its cap is dark and fully opaque. Also round, it lends a rock edge to this visual, while asserting the mysterious side of this feminine portrait. It should be noted that it matches the name of this fragrance, displayed in black on the front of this bottle. The Poison Girl bottle is available in several different sizes. It comes in spray bottles with a size of 30, 50, or 100 ml.
