@Imaoldhippie 

I had a bottle of that way back when!  I smelled it on someone and thought -- wow!  I got up enough nerve to ask what it was.  At Christmas I asked for it and wore it in the cold winter months.  I felt very se*y when I wore it.  LOL.  It's a heady fragrance and I doubt I could wear it now.  I do remember that I felt so special when I wore, as it was not the same old, same old fragrance!

@AngelPuppy1 ........When I wore it I had many people both men and women asking what it was.  One man said he wanted to get a bottle for his wife.  I felt very complimented by that.

 

I havent wore it in a while but now this post has me wanting to wear it again.

@vermint -- An old friend of mine used to drown herself in Poison.  So much that we could all smell her coming about a block away.   I don't have good memories of Poison either.

Funny how certain perfumes become your signature scent but later you wonder what you were thinking when wearing it. Yes I did wear Poision. 

 

In my tween/teen years(late 70s early 80s), it was Coty Musk, Then Poison was mid 80s. Then Guess Late 80s/ early 90s. Then it was Givenchy Amarige for the rest of the 90s. By 2K, I developed a sensitivity to almost all fragrances and switched to Amazing Grace/Pure Grace. Since then I have stuck with philosophy (and even have issues with some of the philosophy scents, like summer grace which gives me a headache). I guess it is my punishment for gagging people with some of these strong scents.

Years ago I loved it until one of my students said he smelled "bug spray" when he entered the classroom. Never wore it again.

Yes, I remember Poison.  I never liked it.  I also remember Obsession.  Hated that one too.  Migraine inducing scents for me.

Yes, and before that, in the 1960's, I remember Imprevu by Cote.  Loved it!
