I have been searching for this for years… finally bought a $20-ish ebay listing from Japan, and the sale/purchase went flawlessly. Safe travels from Japan to the US, in a timely fashion and no leaking/breaking.
This is an exact dupe for the recent reformulation of HP. The same watered down/light smell. I have an original bottle of HP- and nothing comes close to that original smell.
A better, sweeter, stronger HP “dupe” is Forbidden by Police. Not so much a dupe as a simplified almond sugar cookie. 🙂
Both the current HP and G&S have disappointing sillage/potency/longevity for me.
Worn proper on body/skin/clothing, this is indistinguishable from the current HP. G&S didn’t last on a tissue test, but seemed better on skin? Rare for me!! But still– not very potent at all. But hey– HP is the same. I highly rec that Japanese seller and will prob buy a back up for myself. Haha.

This is so lovely. I never tried Hypnotic Poison, so I can’t compare. But this does remind me vaguely of the sweet smell of woodruff, has a smooth, round, sweet smell that is quite nice.
(Actually this is the only Jeanne Arthes frag I ever liked). Will I keep it in my collection? Yes, but I will never go and hunt down another bottle once it’s gone.

This is a sweet and delicious fragrance which is a more affordable Dior’s Hypnotic Poison. I don’t care for Hypnotic Poison but I’m familiar with how it smells and this is almost a dupe except it’s got more going on in it than even HP. I love the bottle. I leave it on my boudoir dresser table. It looks seductive and has a 1950’s boudoir vibe. At the first spritz I smell a coconut and vanilla combination. It’s so good. Then I get some mimosa and orange blossom and frangipani which smells very tropical. The floral notes are each detectable: heliotrope, jasmine, Bulgarian Rose. The flowers are not heavy just dreamy and soft. Toward the last stage of the fragrance I get delicious licorice a hint of warm musk and more vanilla. The vanilla is the strongest accord here. This is really good for an affordable price. I have invested on the Jeanne Arthes fragrance line and it was worth it. This is a really good perfume.

Spicy, dry and a little sweet. Have to be in a mood to wear it, but when I do – I enjoy it a lot. Cannot discern the notes other than cloves and vanilla. Could also guess cinnamon, but that’s not the case. As for the rest of the notes (especially the florals) – they might be there, but they are not soloists, they are there to blend into a one.. unanimous smell. (Sorry, for the poor phrasing).

When the case is Hypnotic Poison dupes, beware. Most -if not all of them- smell terribly artificial/chemical to the degree of making one feel ill. They last for ages, stick on your skin and stick on the air to cling for minutes. They are heavy and cloying; and I believe a weapon against humanity in the wrong hands as it’s the case for %90 of the time.
Now Guipure Silk is not nasty. To the contrary, it is the BEST Hypnotic Poison dupe. So much so that we can say it’s more wearable than the original depending on your motive. It’s very powdery, like baby powder and it smells soft and clean. I can say that’s a baby Hypnotic Poison and it will neither offend anyone like the other dupes nor will it take the stage show like its original big sister.
Longevity is good and sillage is rather moderate.
Definitely recommended!

Im really pleased that i decided to try this ott looking perfume. I could never afford hypnotic poison so this will have to do. It really does smell divine. I cant stop sniffing my wrist. Lol. The coconut, vanilla and almonds are a combo made in heaven. The sillage is moderate and the longevity about 6 hours.
amidtork1 – :
Just did a blind buy. Somehow I see myself drinking rootbeer just like one of you mentioned it before. It smells weird at first, but then I can smell the sweet vanilla and coconut which I really love.

Hi ladies, I would like to have this.
Is anybody interested in swapping with me?

C’est un parfum très agréable, gourmand et sensuel,de la même famille olfactive qu’Hypnotic Poison pour un prix dérisoire.
Il a une très bonne tenue sur la peau (toute la journée), excellente tenue sur les vêtements.
J’adore son flacon original, rococo et très joli, la boîte également.
Comment se faire plaisir sans se ruiner!
J’ai plusieurs parfums de cette marque et je suis conquise.

Serg_dok007 – :
Ow.. finally my bottle arrive..
It is really powdery.. Its like spraying plain baby powder.. But I smell light licorice and coconut..
Its heavy, its quite long-lasting.. And i rarely find a scent that last long on my body. So I really love this one.. A
Its an everyday wear.. love love love it..

I had more than half a bottle of this but when I realized that the shop near me which was the only one that had this, wouldn’t carry it anymore, I quickly got another bottle. So I’m set for a good while, thankfully.
I guess it is sort of a budget Hypnotic Poison, except I enjoy this even more. The scent is beautiful, just the right amount of sweet and it’s so long lasting. The sort of gothic looking packaging was what attracted me first and it was love from the first sniff. 🙂 It smells great on me, I enjoy it so much and it’s one of the favorites in my collection. Guys also love it. I mean, I literally had one sniffing me like a puppy the second time we saw each other and he was like IT’S THAT SCENT AGAIN 😀
vlakud – :
On me this is straight Hypnotic Poison with less sickly vanilla and less potent almond personally I find it alot more wearable as Hypnotic Poison can become overwhelmingly cloying and sweet and at times becomes nauseating almond marzipan on me – I find this a bit more smokey and alot more wearable. I do get a rootbeer/sarsparilla float with vanilla icecream type note which is delicious and some incense, luckily I don’t get the bandaid or mushroom notes described below. If you have always wanted to wear HP but find it sickening on yourself Give this a whirl it’s a great perfume and is uber cheap I picked this up for the equivellent of $10 US for the 100ml. The bottle is cute in a gothicy way and doesn’t look overly cheap in my opinion either.
mumunwich – :
Just like Hypnotic Poison, same ! no more no less … i see despite MANY people voted “yes” on “makes me think of Hynotic Poison” they strangely all have been deleted , maybe some snob don’t like that some “supermarket scent” can be compared to their beloved “insert expensive perfume name” 😛 Nethertheless , wether you like it or not , yes they’re the same , please refer to my HP review to know what i think of this Guipure & Silk … 😉
ysi961Negeltzex – :
To label Guipure & Silk as budget-Hypnotic-Poison is a little cruel…..but one sniff & you will be making comparisons, too.
I received this as a swap with the lovely nanano & I am thoroghly enjoying its creamy, nutty fluffiness & floral twists. Yes, HP is there….but G&S is not so in-your-face & a little more gentle. This also means it lacks the development, strength, sillage & lasting power of the Dior but on clothes its delicate perfume lingers.
So, to those who call G&S HP’s ugly sister take a look at the packaging….pretty, in a kitsch way….then try it without trying to find the HP. You will probably find the dense, sweet almond fog is a little less invasive….this gives the florals a little more space to breathe.
Eau de Hypnotic Poison, or HPlight might be more appropriate. In any case, if you like HP & are on a budget you will probably enjoy this little frag. I do.
Another “nice” scent.
vetos161rus – :
I truly wanted to like this due to the many comparisons to Hypnotic Poison, which is slowly growing on me. Alas, something in this blend turns it from Guipure & Silk to Band-Aids and Ace Bandages on my skin, and remains so from first spray throughout dry down. I’m blaming a cheap vanilla/coconut accord for that.
negoro – :
Reading so many positive reviews here I have bougt a bottle of it for myself blindly.
And sadly I can’t love it. I really like my perfumes strong, oriental bold, loud, sreaming, cute, mute, boring, linear, modern, old fashioned, mono, cacophoneaus (pretty much anything that my nose perceives as pleasant (I really like most perfume and I’m not picky much)
But this one numbs my nose and on my skin it develops a weird note of dried mushrooms.
So I’m now stuck with 100ml bottle and I could happily get rid of it, too bad none of my friends want it.
Krystnik03 – :
i don’t think it has been discontinued, because i could find it in their 2011 catalogue. anyways i have never seen this in any store
dimantos – :
Where can this be purchased? I LOVE hypnotic poison so I really want to try this one. Thanks for any help!
Oblighblothdk – :
For those who are looking for it i think you can find it on Ebay
Killdorfs – :
I LOVE this fragrance but cannot find it in the states. Can anyone tell me where to find it and how I can purchase it? PLEASE!!!
bfskynet – :
Have received a sample from Dear Turquoise recently and tried it… As soon as I sniffed, I thought it is similar to Hypnotic Poison, before reading the reviews 🙂
yes, it is really similar, but this one is less sweet and more floral. I really liked it. It is a perfect floral with almond and vanilla notes and not cloying.
Leshak – :
i have the other version, Guipure Rose & Silk… fragrantica haven’t have the review about it i guess…

KOBRA 52 – :
This is a nice fragrance that to me smells almost exactly like Hypnotic Poison. I don’t know if it has been discontinued, but it is hard to find. I wear it occasionally and enjoy it.
