Rose Splendide vs Poison

The community consensus suggests that Rose Splendide (and Goutal fragrances generally) offers decent longevity but limited projection, becoming a skin scent relatively quickly. Performance expectations should be based on individual fragrance materials rather than concentration levels, and marketing claims about extrait formulations often overstate their benefits.

Dior Poison is a highly polarizing fragrance with strong nostalgic value from the 1980s-90s era, praised for its unique dark character and longevity. However, modern reformulations have disappointed fans seeking the original intensity, and the scent's boldness makes it unsuitable for daily wear, limiting its appeal to adventurous fragrance enthusiasts and special occasion use.
