Красный Мак (Red Poppy Flower)

I am ready to dive into this perfume and even drown myself in it. Divine art deco in a bottle. Roaring twenties in all its glory.

There are many descriptions of the official origin of the perfume in the comments. But why did no one remember that in fact this is pre-revolutionary "opia"? With a new propaganda name and history of creation? The formula was changed to replace ingredients unavailable in Soviet Russia.. That's why the pyramids are a little different. (However, Red Moscow is not exactly Red Moscow either too🤭) Despite the constant changes in the formula, this perfume was in demand for several generations. My nanny's favorite perfume (for me, she became the third grandmother❤️). The perfume was incredibly popular. The perfume had at least one simplified version with a poorer base. If I'm not mistaken, "poppies". + an example of unrivaled popularity: The Leningrad perfume factory was accused of their "Red Flower" perfume being in fact a clone of Red Poppy.. For the Soviets, this is nonsense!😳

I received a bottle of this incredibly strong oriental fragrance decades ago, when I was in my early twenties, from a Russian pen friend. I opened it, tried it once and then never used it, only sniffed it once in a while - the perfume is overwhelming. The beautiful bottle in its beautiful box then stood in a display cabinet for about 20 years, almost forgotten. Last year I opened the box. All that was left of the perfume was a resinous residue in the bottle, but the rich smell had not changed. Amber, musk, flowers in a powerful combination. Certainly not for the faint of heart and lovers of delicate white flowers. The fragrance will make you stand out from any crowd.
