Coach Poppy Flower

I discovered Poppy Flower on a shelf at Target, shortly after it was launched. Among the usual drugstore-type fragrances on offer, this Target had some testers for higher-end scents that had just come out (this was some years before Target realized the gold mine to be had in beauty products, and beefed up their inventories in the cosmetics and fragrance departments.) I thought the bottle looked cute, so I gave the tester a spritz. Coach Poppy Flower immediately reminded me of my beloved long-discontinued Victoria’s Secret Pink (2001) which I wore in the early 2000’s. Poppy Flower had a strong apple note, which I didn’t remember in Pink, but Poppy Flower did have Pink’s soft citrus fruity-floral sweetness. The two scents have a prominent peony note in common as well. Poppy Flower is not a straight up dupe of 2001 Pink, but it gives off the same fragrance “feeling,” and is the closest scent I’ve found to old original Pink. I put Poppy Flower in my cart along with the kitty litter, fabric softener, etc. I enjoyed wearing Poppy Flower. It was soft and fruity sweet, and had a nice freshness. I worked in customer service, and knew that it would be a “safe” fragrance to wear around a variety of people. Poppy Flower has also been discontinued, but you can find bottles of it for a reasonable price- unlike Pink, which goes for big bucks these days. Recently I picked up a small bottle of Poppy Flower on Ebay. I was disappointed at first spray, and thought I had purchased a fragrance too past its sell-by date. Poppy Flower was never a powerhouse, but this stuff seemed extremely weak. I also remembered it as being sweeter, and fruitier. But after about an hour, and a re-application, I realized the fragrance was fine. It just needed time to develop, and then it was smelling like its old sweet, juicy, vibrant peony self. It lasted a lot longer than I was anticipating, as well, which was nice. Poppy Flower has a lot more notes than Pink, but it doesn’t smell complex. My nose is decidedly an amateur one, and I can’t pick out the individual notes of lychee, or the raspberry, or the apricot or black currant. There’s just a nice fruity “cloud” with a citrus/berry nature that envelops you. Poppy Flower isn’t a big statement fragrance, or a “wow- I’ve never smelled anything like this!” type of scent. But it’s easy to enjoy. I had forgotten how much I liked wearing it. We have been experiencing non-stop 90+ degree weather, and Poppy Flower has proved to be very refreshing during the oppressive heat. A lot of sweeter fragrances are just too much in hot weather. But Poppy Flower’s citrus and freshly-picked peony keep it from getting to be too much. As other reviewers have stated, Poppy Flower is a nice, rather generic fruity-floral that you can reach for and not worry about offending anyone. I was happy to re-discover its (affordable) sweet fruity freshness, and I’m happy to have it back in my fragrance collection. Lovers of 2001-era Pink should definitely give Poppy Flower a try.

This is absolutely my number one all time favourite fragrance! If only it was still being made, at least I think it’s discontinued or was limited edition, I judge the prices on eBay for it that it’s not in large quantities out there. I would give anything to be able to have this again, at a semi-reasonable price. If you are into fresh fragrances, the ones that aren’t total citrus, just a soft freshness that makes you smell clean, you will love this! Every time I have ever worn this I get compliments on how nice I smell. It’s not something groundbreaking, or innovative, it is kind of basic but it’s got that freshness to it that no other perfume can beat! The closest dupes would be DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, Dior Addict 2 or Juicy Couture Couture LaLa. I could name so many similar perfumes but none will be the same as this. If your vibe is fresh scents than get on this, even though it’s like 300 or more dollars on eBay because I assume it was limited edition or just discontinued, I would give anything to buy it again :(

LITCHI & SHAMPOO Fruity-Floral. Opens with a tropical fruity burst of citrus & litchi with a crunchy green note from ivy, that transitions to a tropical floral heart of peony & waterlily with aquatic, velvety & sweet tones, all resting on a floral support base of musky-sweet woods. Overall I get a tropical fruity-floral with a shampoo & tea vibe in the drydown. Smells like Herbal Essence shampoo. Average or slightly above average performance for a light spring-summer wearing experience. Contrast to Couture La La Malibu Juicy Couture: My first impression of this was that I was smelling Coach Poppy Flower, but this isn't a clone, and Couture La La Malibu leans a little more tropical but without the crunchy green ivy in the opening. A very similar vibe. Overall: Beautiful & classic scent profile with average or slightly above average performance for a light spring-summer wearing experience. Enjoy!

Been sniffing around at this for a while in department stores, and i found a really great deal on the 3.4 ounce perfume plus rollerball duo on ebay, and i jumped at it. I'm sure glad i did because i LOVE this scent, it embodies my personality completley. While it can be a little strong when you first put it on, its amazing and it lingers all day. after about 8 hours i'd say it smells very light almost like a scented lotion. but it still just stays which is nice because after 8 hours you probably dont really want to still smell as if you just sprayed perfume on. i personally like this a lot more than the original coach poppy because its a lot more floral and not so cotton-candyish like poppy. its a great perfume especially for younger women. if your a mom hide this because your kids will want to get into it!

Fruity and floral and not too sweet! This is a very pretty scent. If you are someone who isn't attracted to strong floral or fruit scents you may want to avoid this. I love this, but when I wore it my BF got a terrible breakout! He liked the smell but this may be too strong for some. I also want to add that this is one of those perfumes that can smell totally different depending on where you spray it. I know that can happen in general, but I really noticed it with this one. When I sprayed it on my skin and and air is seemed to be more floral. When I sprayed it on the tester paper it smelled more fruity. I had to walk around with it on to determine if I liked it or not (and hence found out it caused a breakout to my bf). I loved it but caution to those with sensitive skin and/or allergies to try it first

The grapefruit note is very pronounced in the opening. It's a very fresh, juicy grapefruit which I love. The florals and litchi are also very strong in the opening and blend nicely with the grapefruit. It all fades fairly quickly, however, becoming more of a skin scent. I like it for summer or for when I can't decide what to wear. I've never smelled another grapefruit note as good as this one and will probably keep it around just for that reason. As for the comparisons to Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, it's only a passing similarity. BDFB has a powdery note that becomes irritating, where as CPF has zero powder. Also BDFB does not have the same fresh juiciness as CPF. Of the two, CPF is superior.

This is an unusual love for me as I usually do NOT like florals and do NOT like rose scents and this is highly floral. I'm shocked that I like it so much. It's slightly sweet, very floral with just a touch of fruitiness to keep it from being too floral... I guess, I don't know how to describe it except it's unusually nice for a floral and I detect cucumber notes. Some are saying it doesn't last, maybe not on the skin but on my shirt I love that 6 hour after applying it, I can still smell it on myself which is rare cause you usually can't smell it on yourself even if it is long lasting. So anyone who doesn't like floral still may want to give this one a try. I hate florals yet love this one!

Instant love for me! This is a blast of summer in a bottle, it's gorgeous! First spritz is fresh and almost citrusy, but not quite. Poppy Flower lacks that sharp citrus blast which can be overwhelming and bitter in other scents, instead it opens with a soft burst of juicy freshness. This perfume sings and dances with florals bursting forth everywhere! It has a slightly aquatic note which runs throughout the entire performance. This perfume is strong with a large silage and great longevity. It is a pure happiness in a bottle! I'm not one for floral aquatics, but seriously guys, this one is simply lovely and an absolute head turner.

Easily one of my absolute favorite perfumes ever. When you first spritz, it treats you to a freshly cut bouquet of flowers. The dry down is sweet, not unlike its predecessor, but with more floral undertones. I was given the box set for my birthday last year which came with the perfume, as well as a handy, fuchsia makeup bag with Coach written on it, and a fragrance pencil and sharpener for travel. I even use the box it came in for jewelry. Well worth the expense if you crave the joyous aroma of flowers in springtime.

This smells gorgeous if you're looking for an every day scent that is universally pleasing without being synthetic. Is it inventive, no but I'd still have it in my collection today if they didn't stop making it. Light, fresh, mildly fruity floral without being in your face funeral home flowers. This category has a place in my heart but VS Pink and Love Express are no longer available either. Looking forward to Versace Bright Crystal Absolu taking their place.

This smell is so nostalgic for me because my mom used to wear it all the time, so I might be a bit biased when I say that I’m not a floral person, but this one is extremely pleasant to my nose. It’s very fresh, with the floral scents blending together very nicely. If someone walks by me with this on, I always have to turn my head because it’s just too familiar, and I LOVE it.

Wow! Did I spray a perfume or stick my nose into a basket full of flower petals? This perfume smells exactly the same as the local greenhouse in the middle of summer. I've smelled actual wildflowers that aren't as floral as this. My new favorite floral, hands down.

I love this fragrance. It's very subtle and fresh, perfect to wear at the office. It reminds me a little of Clinique Happy In Bloom, which is nice since In Bloom seems to only be sold seasonally and doesn't last as long as Poppy Flower.

I was given a paper sample of Coach Poppy Flower at Sephora and loved it. Then got a small sample spray that same day with my purchase. I love how the fruit and floral scents blend so well together. I must get a bottle!

Myoilperfume.com makes an oil impression of Poppy Flower and the 1 oz. was < $20 so I'm going to blend this with a similar body spray in an empty perfume atomizer bottle to recreate this gorgeous scent.

Stunning fragrance - the fruity notes complement the floral notes beautifully. Much better than the original! Strongly recommended for fruity, floral lovers.

This is a really nice fruity floral. Sweet and light. Very refreshing for a Spring or Summer day. I like it alot because it is very clean smelling.

This was my go-to fragrance in high school. I think this is still a great,classic perfume. Perfect for a teen or someone in their early 20's

I love this smell!! It is perfect for a lunch meeting or date night. I honestly have not ever been happier with a fragrance.
