                             Vintage 1998 Eau de Toilette Spray Bottle.

New near mint condition, save slight contact marks to outer & a few cracks to flap hinges, & one small tear to flap on outer plastic box, so incredibly rare this could still make a fabulous gift & will be happy to gift wrap in glorious vintage glossy red Dior paper & ribbon at no further cost ")

Rare vintage late 1990s bottle both bottle & inner card box date stamped 8G02 for 1998 NOT for 2018, these double card & plastic boxes were only produced for a couple of years & note these date stamps are on 10 year cycles.

Dior's finest, an almost impossible to find, heartbreakingly gorgeous original first release Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette. In astonishing never seen the light of day no longer sealed not quite mint condition

NOTES ON FAKE HYPNOTIC POISON: They do still crop up, even after 25-30 years !!!!
  1. Unlike the authentic bottle which is made of red glass, fake bottles are made of clear glass which is sprayed red, take a sharp knife & try to scrap the bottom of the bottle, the knife will make no mark on the original, but will remove flakes of red translucent paint from the fake.
  2. There is often a clear "seam" running down both sides of a fake bottle, never seen on an original.
  3. The print to these early bottles is near invisible, Dior did not want the glorious round berry bottle spoiled with loud print, the print is flat to the glass, & can not be scratched off, fake bottles have wide, sloppy print in an array of colors

Some perfume bloggers/collectors like to state that vintage Diors can "go over" or lose some of their top notes, I find this true only of ill stored, used or opened bottles or those from warmer climates, our colder climate in the UK can allow vintage perfumes to last almost indefinitely, if anything they seem to only improve with age, a classic example being Chanels fabulous vintage Eau de Cologne, which is out there in a league of its own..
