What does Poppy Soma smell like?

Jasmine sambac, tuberose, black gardenia and red rose form the floral core, while red pepper, Sichuan pepper and curry leaf add a spicy edge. Church frankincense, labdanum and styrax pull the sweetness toward a resinous, smoky base, and Tonkin musk softens the whole.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a verdict. Its heavy, spiced floral build suits evenings and cooler weather. Buchoed Rosa Nigra and Nōse Day Off have a close profile.
