Oh how interesting! I love a floral, and I love a poison garden, but this is anything but your typical garden scent! The Poisoner's Garden opens with a sharp note that reads like a neon green. Don't try and sneak poison into anyone's tea cup while wearing this, because all noses will be turned your way. It announces itself with force and seems to yell "look, but don't touch!" The opening is bold and confident. On the dry down it turns slightly less green and a bit more white, though it never reads traditionally floral to me. The loam comes through a bit at the end, though it's never pronounced for me. The datura and that sharp green (the peppercorn?) are the stars of the show. Something about this perfume's dry down makes me think of the softer, more gentle Sun Room, so if you love that unusual scent, you may like this one too. This one will wear extremely well in cool weather and would be a knockout for formal occasions and masquerade balls. I can see it being worn by a long cool woman in a black dress. Bravo on such a fierce and unusual concoction!
