You never would have guessed it, but we've heard on TikTok that Missguided Babe Power perfume is an alternative for Dior Poison. We totally understand if you're doubting us right now - these perfumes don't even look like they're in the same family, let alone twins. But, if TikTok says it's one of the best beauty alternatives, then we definitely know there's some truth behind it.
Dior's Hypnotic Poison is a timeless classic. She is giving us sensuality. She is giving us seduction. She is giving us sophistication. But, she's also giving 'Am I sure I want to part ways with £60 for this perfume?'. Yeah, we're not sure about that either. That's why we've found an affordable alternative, as recommended by TikTok.

Not only has TikTok delivered when it comes to Dior Lip Oil alternatives, but Dior fragrances now, as well. According to creators on the platform, Missguided's Babe Power fragrance smells incredibly close to Dior's Hypnotic Poison. Both perfumes have identical notes of jasmine, vanilla and amber. So, it actually makes sense why Babe Power makes the perfect Dior Hypnotic Poison alternative.
