What does Smoky Poppy smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind and summer chosen least. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out, and less towards the office or daily wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine.

The notes are spices, woods and Turkish poppy, which read as one whole rather than stages. A floral, sweet body carries a spicy, woody, resinous warmth, with powdery and earthy touches and the smoke staying in the background. The overall character is oriental.
