“for Hypnotic Poison it’s definitely worth it to buy the original perfume, it’s much deeper and lasts longer than the zara dupe”

reddit ↗“It's not even close to HP. IDK why people say it is, but it is not even close.”
reddit ↗“Not even close.”
reddit ↗“it smells absolutely nothing like Dior's Hypnotic Poison. I have used other dupes before, so I'd say I have reasonable expectations from a dupe and this was a completely different scent”

scandal le parfumJean Paul Gaultier

- Reddit users widely consider Scandal Le Parfum to be a close alternative that captures the core vibe of Hypnotic Poison.
- Many describe it as smoother, sweeter, and more caramel-leaning, while notably lacking Hypnotic Poison's distinct almond, playdoh, or root beer facets.
- At least one user preferred it as a replacement due to better performance over the current Hypnotic Poison formulation.
“If you want a similar profile, but smoother and no almond or playdoh smell, try JPG Scandal Le Parfum.”
reddit ↗“If you’re after something similar to the scent itself Scandal Le Parfum is suppose to be a pretty close match”
reddit ↗“HP edt had HORRIBLE performance but I found a perfect replacement - Scandal Le Parfum, it smells 90% identical but instead of licorice/root beer note it’s more caramel leaning.”
reddit ↗“I’ve actually smelled JP’s SLP and it was lovely and very similar and I was torn between the 2, just had a bit of a sweeter scent”
reddit ↗“Scandal Le Parfum: OG Hypnotic Poison w a tuberose overlay. SO good 💯”

“Oil Perfumery if you don't mind a perfume oil. [https://us.oilperfumery.com/collections/womens-western-fragrance/products/christian-dior-hypnotic-poison]”
reddit ↗“The Oil Perfumery has a good oil rollerball dupe. I think I paid @ $15 for it.”
reddit ↗“I have about 20 of their clones including hypnotic poison and I can say their clone of it is about 99% spot on. It smells amazing, but is a bit softer projection wise”
reddit ↗“Have you tried the dupe from Oil Perfumery?”
reddit ↗“oil perfumery’s version of hypnotic poison. It’s oil based so it lasts longer imo and to me they smell identical on me.”
