The key accord of Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette is vanilla — an exotic spice known for its deep, sweet, and slightly liqueur-like aroma, which is still the world's most popular flavor compound. Fragrantica's authors noted in their 2023 summary that vanilla's popularity endures in the flavor and fragrance world. But its role in the perfume industry transcends mere sweetness. Those beans can be complemented by resins, powdery iris, wood, and even sea salt, creating a multifaceted aroma. In the case of Hypnotic Poison, vanilla is rhymed with almond liqueur and caraway, imparting an anise-like aroma reminiscent of a cough syrup.
