What Poison Girl smells like

Bitter orange opens things up with a sharp, almost candied edge before the rose moves in — not a fresh-cut rose, but something warmer and slightly powdered. The heart is where the almond takes over, pushing the rose into a sweet, marzipan-adjacent territory that could tip cloying if you're not into that lane. Vanilla and patchouli anchor the dry-down into a soft, skin-close warmth that lingers for hours with modest sillage. Projection is moderate — present without demanding attention — and what it leaves behind is a creamy, slightly earthy sweetness — Fall and winter evenings, for someone who leans into dessert-adjacent femininity without going full gourmand.

What Sauvage EDP smells like

Opens with a sharp bergamot-and-pink-pepper blast that has a near-electric quality — clean but with real bite. The lavender arrives quickly in the heart, smoother than expected, softening the pepper without dulling it. Sichuan pepper keeps a faint tingle alive through the mid-stage. The dry-down is where it earns its reputation: amberwood and vanilla pull it into warm, skin-close territory, projection tightening from loud to a confident personal cloud. Sillage trails long and distinctively. — Cool-weather daily wear for someone who wants presence without effort.

How they overlap

Poison Girl and Sauvage EDP share exactly one note (vanilla). The overlap is real but narrow — most of the wear experience will diverge.

The buying decision

Poison Girl is the cheaper original at $125 compared to $155 for Sauvage EDP — about 19% less.

Heads up: Poison Girl is marketed feminine, Sauvage EDP is marketed masculine — they target different wearers, though plenty of buyers cross those lines.
