Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Honestly, the scent isn't impressive. I inhaled - and what? No freshness, just some kind of heaviness. A meadow, of course, sounds beautiful, but in reality, it's just a collection of smells that evoke no emotions. Wildflowers? Yes, maybe, but they've already wilted. Mown grass under the sun - it's more a reminder that summer has passed than something pleasant. A barley field nearby? Why would I want that? In short, I expected more, and got disappointment
4/5

The smell of freshly cut grass after the rain. Honestly, a rather dull scent. I'd like something more intense, there's always a lack of brightness in such compositions. But, alas, such fragrances are rarely expressive
4/5

The smell of poppy is almost imperceptible. In summer, I conducted an experiment with a gorgeous poppy that grew in my front yard. It had a bitter-herbal aroma. But the flowers here are very delicate. They remind me of jasmine, but still give the impression of wildflowers. And there's also a soft cereal note, like opening a yogurt with grains - a little creamy and with a nutty aftertaste
4/5

This smell brings back memories of summer days at the dacha with my grandma. We often roamed the fields, and the scent of fresh grass lingered in the air. I can feel something cereal-like, but I can't say for sure if there's poppy here. Although, overall, I don't really like this perfume. It seems too simple for me, so I'm not planning to buy it
3/5

I don't understand how people can talk about poppy when it's not felt here at all. Barley, yes, that's a familiar note, and it's precisely what gives this fragrance such a powdery note. Grains and some unclear herbs are here, but flowers? No way! The scent is interesting, of course, but very strange. The longevity, by the way, leaves much to be desired
3/5

First I sprayed it on a blotter, then on my wrist. A couple of days later I went back to the store and generously sprayed this fragrance on my skin. The poppies are definitely here, the smell is very similar. Powder is also present, reminiscent of violets, but with a cosmetic tint. Cereals? Possibly. In general, a story about plants in the fields. Overall, not bad 🌼
4/5

A fragrance that stands out from the rest, that's for sure. It has a light powdery note, a bit dry, and a hint of crushed blackcurrants. It's truly memorable, but at the same time, it leaves a feeling of some sadness
4/5

This smell is fresh, of course, but you can't call it natural. Lightness, yes, it's there, but it's more irritating than pleasing. Unobtrusive? Rather, you just don't feel it. In short, it didn't impress me
2/5

This scent didn't impress me. It smells like ground dry herbs, and some of them give me an unpleasant feeling. I remember how poppy didn't please me with its scent as a child either, there's something repulsive about it. But in this perfume, it seems there's no poppy at all ))))
