ABOUT

Poppy is a delicate, airy floral accord that reads as soft and slightly sweet with powdery petal facets, faint green and hay-like undertones, and a whisper of honeyed or metallic nuance that gives it a fragile, ephemeral quality. Perfumers use poppy to evoke innocence and transparent freshness in top-to-heart roles—blending it with rose, peony, citrus or musks and vanillic/amber bases to lend a tender, skin-like powderiness or to lighten and modernize richer compositions.
