What It Smells Like

Poisonous Roots opens with a dense, creamy jasmine absolute paired with warm milky tea. The jasmine is the dominant presence for many wearers, with a rich, almost animalic quality rather than a light or delicate white floral effect. The milky tea softens the floral intensity and gives the opening a thick, smooth texture.

As it develops, incense begins to emerge beneath the jasmine and tea. The effect becomes darker and more atmospheric, introducing a dry, smoky and slightly earthy quality without completely overtaking the creamy floral character. Recent reviews describe the jasmine as thick and creamy, while the incense brings a cooler, more earthy contrast as the fragrance develops.

In the dry down, vanilla absolute and black amber become increasingly prominent. The vanilla adds a rich, soft sweetness while the black amber deepens the composition with a dark, resinous warmth. The result is smoother and more rounded than the opening, with jasmine, incense and vanilla remaining intertwined rather than resolving into a straightforward vanilla gourmand.

Overall, the fragrance feels like a dark floral gourmand, combining thick jasmine and creamy tea with smoky incense, rich vanilla and deep amber.
