  1. Interesting to compare Diorama with Poison; they seem to share the same DNA. You could say Diorama is Poison from the 40s. It’s not a stretch to think there’s a connection, since they share neroli, cinnamon, plum, and jasmine in the heart. Of course, other ingredients like peach, melon, and those animalic notes in Diorama set it slightly apart from Poison. It’s an interesting fragrance worth trying, but in the end, I keep coming back to Poison, over and over again.
