Identity and Release History

In 2021, the perfumery house Jo Malone, a legend in English perfumery, introduced the fragrance Scarlet Poppy to the world, which became part of its premium Cologne Intense Collection.

This unisex cologne, created under the guidance of the talented perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui, immediately caught the attention of connoisseurs thanks to its bold and sensual character.

Scarlet Poppy is not just a perfume, but a true art that reinterprets traditional floral motifs, giving them a modern sound.

Released in an era when the world was craving vivid emotions, this fragrance became a symbol of freedom and elegance, perfectly reflecting the brand's philosophy based on simplicity and refinement.

Positioning and Wearability

Scarlet Poppy is positioned as a unisex fragrance, making it a universal choice for any gender striving for self-expression.

As a cologne from the Cologne Intense collection, it has a noticeable trail that confidently lingers on skin and clothing, creating an aura of luxury and allure.

For optimal development, pointwise application on the skin is recommended, such as on the wrists and neck, and on clothing — from 1 to 2 sprays, to highlight its richness without overdoing it.

The fragrance is perfect for cool evenings, special occasions, or everyday wear when you want to add a touch of sophistication to your look.

Authors and Influence

The creative genius of Mathilde Bijaoui played a key role in the creation of Scarlet Poppy, bringing to it a unique combination of naturalness and complexity.

Her approach to perfumery, based on a deep understanding of ingredients, helped this fragrance stand out among other brand releases, reinforcing Jo Malone's reputation as an innovator in the world of floral compositions.

Scarlet Poppy not only enriched the Cologne Intense line but also became a benchmark for those seeking a balance between tenderness and strength, confirming the brand's status as a pioneer in the field of modern unisex fragrances.

Similar Fragrances and Alternatives

If you liked Scarlet Poppy, it's worth paying attention to other fragrances that share its floral-spicy aesthetics.

For example, By Kilian Rolling in Love offers a similar sensuality with an emphasis on almond and iris, while Serge Lutens Louve explores the poppy theme in a more gourmand key.

For lovers of exquisite floral notes, Royal Apothic Venetian Grove can be an interesting alternative with its Mediterranean accents.

These fragrances will help expand your collection and discover new facets of perfumery art.

Description of the composition

Pyramid and Unfolding

The note pyramid of Scarlet Poppy begins with a sparkling top accord, where ambretta and fig create a fresh and slightly sweet start, reminiscent of the first rays of the sun.

In the heart of the composition, the delicate and deep notes of iris and poppy unfold, giving the fragrance a velvety floral core with a hint of mystery.

The base concludes this journey with warm and cozy accents of barley and tonka beans, which add a spicy sweetness and longevity, making the trail unforgettable.

This harmonious blend of floral, fruity, green, and spicy note groups belongs to the floral family, highlighting its multifaceted and elegant character.

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 bottle of this fragrance really catches the eye - the burgundy color looks very stylish and elegant. As for the scent itself, it's sweetish and cozy, reminiscent of fresh pastries with cream and vanilla. You can pick up notes of tonka beans, vanilla, and heliotrope in its composition. The poppy part isn't quite clear, maybe it's something like poppy seed cookies, but nothing more
4/5

The fragrance with iris notes really grabs attention. The poppy here is more conceptual, as if it was created based on a rose. At first, you feel sharp, slightly bitter herbs. The cologne's name, in my opinion, doesn't quite fit, as the composition is very rich, like red velvet. Velvety tonka beans and a light almond bitterness are clearly felt. Overall, it's an interesting combination that doesn't leave you indifferent
5/5

The fragrance is impressive, of course. But this sweetness is too much. The bottle, by the way, is simply gorgeous. You only need to apply a tiny bit. Personally, I think this scent isn't for everyone

I can't call this a cologne. At the same time, it definitely sparks interest. Its sweetness is strong, but the original pyramid sounds quite interesting and worthy 🌸

The fragrance is really sweet, like stepping into a pastry shop. Over time, it becomes less intrusive, the sweetness recedes into the background. I've encountered something similar from Montale. But too much sweetness is just too much for me

Three years ago, I definitely wouldn't have said I'd like a smell like this :) But now I just love trying everything new in perfumery. This fragrance surprised me, because there's not a drop of sweetness in it. It really feels like something natural and alive 🌿

The smell is kind of strange, tart and bitter at the same time. Field herbs, and crickets somewhere nearby too. There's definitely an atmosphere, but I was expecting something completely different. Overall, not bad, but not exactly thrilled

Oh, how much I liked the latest Jo Malone novelty with fig! This fragrance simply captivates with its unique pyramid. The bottle looks amazing! Definitely need to add it to my collection as soon as possible!
5/5

The fragrance is definitely beautiful, but it's overly sweet. From the very beginning, you feel its power, so dense and rough. Almond, iris, and tonka beans dominate, and in the base, it becomes calmer. The longevity for an eau de cologne is quite decent, but that doesn't save it from the overall cloying sweetness 😔
5/5

This fragrance in my collection is simply unique! It's sweet and truly unusual. It brings to mind a cozy evening with baked goods and the warmth of a fireplace. My husband really likes it when I wear it! 😍

What a gorgeous bottle! The red color is simply mesmerizing, it's so rich and stylish! Fig isn't my favorite note, of course, but I'm still curious, so I'll give it a try! I wonder when it will be available for sale? I hope it happens soon!!!
