What does Scarlet Poppy smell like?
Ambrette sits in the top, and the heart is made of heliotrope, iris and Turkish poppy. As it dries, fig, tonka bean and barley come forward and the scent turns sweeter. The floral side is balanced by a spicy touch.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Though unisex, most voters find it feminine.
