Scarlet Poppy Intense

#cottagecore #fairycore #firstlove This is a subtle and linear altought an ethereal, pastoral & enchantedly beautiful fragrance. ♡ There is that gorgeous, light beige colored, late summer breeze emberaced, silky field background which is created by the really-really mellow, subtle sweet almond-milk accord and its accompainment: the mild, smooth and powdery, slightly herbal & dry but also somehow lactonic barely. And this composition is perfectly blended, the notes just simply melted into eachother to make the impression of tired sunrays mixed into some milky cereal. And from this light, lovely & delightful creamy base the playfully coquettish, effervescent but also fragile and dainty red poppies (which are mostly made of fig and the cherry & floral aspects of the heliotrope) are just popping out elfinly.♡ This enthtalling creation is neat, delicate & tender while it has a bucolic, serene aura. But this scent is as tranquille as exciting. The powdery, popping poppy feels magical, lipsticky - just like the little kisses of first love, the shaking knees and the fluttering butterflies in your stomach. So for me, this fragrance gives the vibe of the first highschool love, & the laughter of the light-hearted fairies who are just dancing in the milky-misty sunshine carefreely above the late-summer fields ...

The biggest disappointment to me in the fragrance world. Ever. Scarlet Poppy is like a wayward child I cannot mention to friends and neighbours. It is beautiful, it would have been my favourite fragrance ever. It is the best thing I have ever smelled and the perfect perfume for my personality but I simply cannot own it. It’s got the projection and longevity of a fart. A fart for £160. A date with a guy that doesn’t brush his teeth lasts longer than this. It’s an outrage something this amazing is this awful. I would have given up my entire collection and grown a pair of balls to give away my left one if this had ANY projection or staying power. It would be my perfect signature. On my skin, this is an oaty, powdery, vanilla cherry bakewell, don’t ask me how. It just is. It is so amazingly blended and I am addicted to the creamy oatiness and tonka bean sweetness. I have tried alternatives and they just don’t match up. Don’t smell it, don’t do it to yourself. It lasts 45 minuites and no one can smell me wear it. It’s a toxic relationship with a super hot guy who ghosts you and emotionally manipulates you into thinking he’ll stick around. I just can’t justify the purchase. RIP. The one that got away.

This is the kind of perfume I'd want my perfume or kids to remember me by - a comforting, feminine scent that feels like a warm, reassuring hug. Absolutely signature-worthy. You can clearly smell the fig, tonka and heliotrope. There's also a powdery note that reminds me of iris (although I don't see it listed in the notes). Overall it smells creamy, sweet, and ever-so-slightly powdery, with a slight shampoo-like quality that ensures it never veers into 'too sweet' territory. Perfect for mid to cooler temperatures. The bottle is absolutely stunning as well, if that's something you care about. Only downside is its longevity.. this projects for only the first hour or so, then becomes a skin scent on me, which is really disappointing given the $270 CAD price tag. Edit: Simply wanted to add how much of a crowd-pleaser this is. I wore it to a dinner last weekend and literally received four unsolicited compliments as soon as I walked through the door. They said "you smell amazing!", or "wow, you smell so good!".

Wow! Just adding to my already in-depth review below. This stands on its own, of course, but adding one spray of Kayali Vanilla 28 over Scarlet Poppy brings out the brown sugar even more. Like a warm brown sugar, tonka, figgy, vanilla almond milk poured in oatmeal/barley. I don’t get any cherry like some suggest, not even accented with the almond, heliotrope note. It would compliment a cherry fragrance however and a brown sugar vanilla like Vanilla 28 mentioned earlier, which is great for bed now. I’ll definitely try the combo again outside in the fall. A very cozy, comfortable signature scent that works every-time when I have no idea what to wear and don’t want to feel sick from my fragrance. Not enough to be “sexy”, but also for a different vibe layering with Tom Ford’s lost cherry is everything! Again, alone this reflects me as a person and on my skin it clings on forever lol but I can see it not lasting for a lot of people. Regardless, I hope Jo Malone does the right thing and never discontinues this.

I tested both Scarlet Poppy and Tom Fords Lost Cherry on the same arm. The rest of the day I had this beautiful scent that kept creeping up to my nose but I couldn’t figure out which one it was. I went back to the mall later that day and decided to test both again. I didn’t have to go past Joe Malone counter because it was the Scarlet Poppy. I know Cherry is not a note in this fragrance but I pick up the scent. The dry down in my opinion is better than the initial spray. I am not into gourmand fragrances so I should have known it wasn’t the Lost Cherry but considering the price difference I was sure it was. This is without a doubt my favourite JM scent. I wound not purchase a scent just because a bottle is attractive but it’s fair to note that the bottle is gorgeous as well. I’ve spent alot more on a perfume so I’d say the price point didn’t shock me. I found the longevity to be fine as well. This particular JM fragrance sells out to this day because it was out of stock for months. Thats telling

I LOVE this one! It’s a shame that it doesn’t last very long. I sprayed it (3 sprays total) on my neck and wrists, went and walked through a store, got back in my car and could no longer smell it unless I stuck my wrist against my nose, all within about 40 minutes. Considering maybe I had gone nose-blind, I asked my husband if he could smell it when I got home 5 minutes later and he only could when he smelled my skin directly. I tried spraying it on my shirt later in the day with the same result. I was wearing a Tshirt and it was in the high 70’s and slightly humid, if that matters. It’s such a beautiful scent though. It’s sweet, but not cloying. I can smell the fig, vanilla and the Tonka and maybe a little wood. It comes together into a very smooth and rich scent. I would be overjoyed if I could at least get a couple hours out of it. Debating on buying a different bottle to see if it gives me better results because this is just sad.

This scent is truly beautiful and delicious smelling. It is sugared powdery cherries on a bed of iris, tonka and vanilla. It really is divine. I do understand why some say it smells plasticky, it has that old school 1990s makeup lipstick scent at the very base intermingled with what smells like warmed caramelized butter. As delicious as this is, it does dry down quickly into a skin scent and therefore does not project far and wide and for that very reason I could not justify purchasing this scent for £140. It is a shame about the poor projection as it does mean that as delicious and yummy as this scent undeniably is, it is way overpriced. I know they say this scent is unisex, and I'm not one for restricting scents to masculine, feminine or unisex as I do prefer those marketed as male fragrances for the most part. However for those wondering, I would say this scent is extremely soft and ultra feminine, it does not have a unisex vibe.

What an addictive scent. I knew it smelt familiar. I love Narciso Rodriguez Rouge edp and its so bloomin similar it's extraordinary. Its just more intense and longer lasting. When you check out the note line up its obvious to see why they might smell so similar. I might have to buy Scarlet Poppy. It makes me go mmmm..... very nice. Moreish. A well blended floral that is intense yet warm and cuddly. How you feel when you fall in love and its a rose tinted world. You can't keep your hands off each other. It's heady and you want it to go on forever but of course it can't, so enjoy its deliciousness while you can. I would wear this when I need to lift my mood. I can imagine fellas enjoying this scent on their ladies. Good longevity and OK sillage. It doesn't have much sillage on me which is a bit surprising in this 16 degree room. Im a vegetarian so test for yourself. I don't get why folk are talking about Italian biscuits?!

Uhh. This scent is just heavenly. My view on a perfect lipstick-y scent. Just perfect. I do see similarities to HP as others have mentioned, but again completely different. The only down side is the longevity. I get a good silage for about two hours or so, then I have to reapply. It’s on the pricey side so that’s a bummer. Got a 100 ml for Christmas and I’m already halfway through🥴 Needless to say, I will continue to buy it because no other can compare. Not as right now at least. Edit: Kilian rolling in love, in my point of view is no where near scarlet poppy. Can’t even smell the similarities at all. Rolling in love is a straight up play-doh - scrubber vs scarlet poppy who is so so heavenly. If you don’t like rolling in love and hesitate to try out scarlet poppy because people say they are familiar, don’t worry. They are not at all. Not to me at least.

My fiancé just bought me this for Christmas. He chose it himself after long deliberations. I have to say he did good. This is one very sexy fragrance and it’s my new favourite. It just exudes attraction. I told him to get something he would like to smell on me and this truly smells amazing on me. Everyone’s unique skin compilation is different I guess and thinks smell different on different people but I feel sexy wearing this and it makes me feel good. My partner can’t resist smelling me up close when I’m wearing it so I’d recommend it to ladies out there looking for similar. My fiancé says it drives him wild smelling it on me. Good stuff that lingers on clothing/ scarves etc which helps with longevity as Jo Malone not noted for that. This is my first “intense” fragrance, maybe they are longer lasting? I for one am loving this and what it does for me!

Right off the bat, I bought it when it was still priced at $130. At that point, it was well worth the price. Now it sits at over $200 at Sephora and I simply couldn't justify spending that much on a perfume like this. All that aside, the fragrance is amazing. It's rather female leaning, maybe even a tad much for me, but I still enjoy wearing this on some occasions. Though this is what I would want my girlfriend/fiancée to smell like; it's just that incredible of a scent. Performance is outstanding for a Jo Malone fragrance. Easily lasts 10 hours on me and the projection, while very weak, is there. If there is a discounter that offers the fragrance at under $200, go grab it immediately but if it's at regular price, do yourself a favour and wait until it's being discounted again; don't pay $200 for a cologne-concentrated fragrance.

Jo Malone London Scarlet Poppy Intense feels soft, calm, but still noticeable. It does not come across as a loud floral at first. To me, it feels more creamy, powdery, and gently sweet. This is not a perfume that screams, “I’m here.” But when someone walks past you, they may want to smell it again. I think it suits autumn, winter, and cool spring evenings the most. You can wear it during the day too, but for me, its best mood is a soft sweater, light makeup, clean hair, and a quiet evening reserved for yourself. When I wear this perfume, I don’t imagine myself in a crowded place. I feel like I am sitting in an elegant hotel lobby with dim lights, or at home by the window, drinking my coffee. It is not flashy, but it is definitely not cheap. Soft, feminine, a little romantic, and very comforting — like quiet luxury on the skin. 🤍

The kind of woman you meet in the bathroom of a bar, she’s mysterious, generous, magnetic. She opens her bag to offer you something, and this is the air that escapes. Spilled face powder dusting the lining, sweet lipstick blotted onto a tissue, leftover pastry crumbs, and a fragrance that is warm and sexy, yet strangely comforting. It’s unapologetically feminine. It’s clean without being sterile, sensual without being obvious. I couldn’t stop chasing it on my own skin. Even when it started to give me a headache, I kept crawling back. It’s that kind of perfume, solid, beautiful, and womanly. It lingers but never smothers. The sillage is discreet, close to the body, like a secret. Almost too feminine for me, too sexy for the everyday, but every spritz reminds me I should wear it more (If for no other reason than to be her.)

Warm, sweet, floral but in a nostalgic way. To me it brings memories of my childhood but I can't place them. Upon its opening it had an almost paper-like top note that settled within 15 minutes of spraying on my skin, and slowly became rounder, deeper, slightly sweeter and very rich. I find the florals and deeper notes like the tonka bean are really beautifully balanced, and the slight waxiness of the iris really softens the whole experience. 6 hours after spraying I can still smell it on me but it always sat pretty close to my skin. That being said it feels like one or two sprays of this fragrance at a time is enough, as it gets pretty dense as it settles. I don't find other Jo Malone perfumes particularly interesting but this one is absolutely gorgeous, will probably end up splurging on a bottle.

This one took me soooo by surprise!!! ❤️ It’s a super feminine, soft, enveloping, gentle scent. It’s kind of sweet but just the right amount of suddle sweetness... not a juvenile vanilla but a perfectly warming soft kind of vanilla. I guess it’s from the tonka bean here? Not sure.. The Orris gives it this a stunning gentle powdery touch. I can’t really smell the fig but it may be what I’m smelling as a bit of sweetness. This is just so beautiful! I didn’t want to love this when I sprayed it at the store. Once I had it on my skin, I went ahead and bought it on the spot. And I don’t do that often. I struggle with allergies and a lot of perfumes irritate my vocal cords or my skin. Scarlet Poppy does not bother my allergies at all. I love wearing this to bed. It makes me feel so comfy.

Well this is just addictive! I don’t usually like Jo Malone perfumes; I find them a bit unfinished and lacking a full profile. There are a few exceptions and this in my opinion is their absolute best perfume so far. I must admit that I didn’t know poppies had a scent and in my experience (I used to play with garden poppies a lot as a child) they only have a sappy green fragrance. There is a bit of that at the beginning of this perfume but this is a gourmand perfume to my nose. It smells like biscotti, vanilla figs and tonka. It is sweet, powdery and slightly boozy- very feminine and elegant. It reminds me quite a bit of Saffran Troublant in the mid notes, except much less spicy. Definitely a gem. Sillage is moderate and I find longevity good, at least 7 hours.

I was sad one day, and I tried a sample of this because I wanted something comforting. This surprised me and helped calm my anxiety, not exactly in spa-like way, but a warm hug. I love how sweet it is (tonka), how exotic and mysterious it feels (poppy); it’s also juicy, light (fig) and cozy (barley and orris). It’s every feeling I would want from a fragrance in one bottle. It overall smells like you’ve taken a nice bath and there’s a lingering and intriguing shampoo scent trail. It’s not bright and refreshing, but an alluring and zen type of scent. The red bottle rocks—the longevity sucks (but, hey, what should we expect from Jo Malone?). I’ll still douse myself in it, even if it means respraying every hour.

I will probably drop like 100 reviews for this one, because I just love it so much. I consider this my signature scent. I have already mentioned how gorgeous of a scent this is, but I returned to let you know, this blends and layers beautifully with other fragrances, if you have this, please try it! I also mentioned this is not a dupe for Rolling in Love by Kilian BUT this layers so perfectly with that one, you must try it! Today I non-intentionally layered this with 2 sprays of Mon Guerlain and OMG, what a beautiful blend, it smells EXQUISITE. It gives a creamy feeling to any fragrance you mix this with. Try it with Baccarat too. It is beautiful. I will forever own this incredible fragrance.

Obsessed with this. What you smell is what you get with this one. Continues with the same opening. This smells so beautifully sweet and powdery. Feminine and long lasting for a Joe Malone fragrance. It will LAST on your skin as it warms up. Make sure to moisturize! I can see this being perfect for those cooler days and winter. It's truly cozy, but with the price point I'm hesitant to buy a full bottle. I typically enjoy fruity scents. This one is very linear and floral/powder. This may be for people who already have a solid fragrance wardrobe already built. For those who are in the process of building, it should probably wait. It would make a fantastic gift for a sophisticated lady!

I have the discovery set for intense and for some reason I was meh about this when I first put it on. (I have used up myrrh and tonka, oud and bergamot, and velvet rose and oud completely lol). Today I happen to have the day off and knowing my mother with whom I live loves it thought ok, I’ll try it again. WOW!!! I ADORE IT!!! Before perhaps I was comparing it to the airy ones I love (pear and sweet pea, fig and lotus). This is AMAZING! A fruity almost cherry smell that is over a burning, sensual scent. Just gorgeous. And yet still light and not overpowering!!! This is simply a delicious scent. Seems a bit more wintry than summery but I think it’s subtle enough for daytime. LOVE.

I expected to encounter a spicy, resinous floral blend, a bit narcotic, because you know, "Scarlet Poppy". Well, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. It is the most wonderful slightly dusty, comforting bowl of honeyed oatmeal ever, with a good amount of poppy seed sprinkled on top. It's milky, it's carby, slightly spiced and perfumed. To me, it's the word "wonderful" itself bottled. So, the next time you're feeling a little blue, a sniff of this stuff might help. While it's fairly versatile in my opinion, you might want to keep it for the cooler days of the year, like late spring or something like that. Especially if you're in locations where the heat is humid.

I fell in love with this one after the first sniff. Reminds me of chamomile or barley tea with lots of milk. That's how it feels when worn too, like drinking tea in the early morning when the sun is beginning to rise, the temperature isn't too hot and isn't too cold. It's soft, delicate, and comforting. It's powdery but doesn't come across as gourmand-levels kind of powdery, whereas fragrances usually smell like talcum powder. Despite how fragile it smells, one spray and the whole room can smell you, I kid you not. It's soft but dense like everyone else had described this. Nevertheless, I love it. Never thought I'd love it this much.

I love this fragrance! It is cozy, warm, and gently sensual. Although there is no cherry note, it reminds me a little bit of cherry fragrances (e.g., Lost Cherry, Lovefest Burning Cherry) and given that I enjoy cherry, I appreciated the similarities. This is versatile and can be worn in a variety of settings and for different occasions, including work since it sits rather close to the skin. Longevity isn't great, as in most Jo Malones, but good enough to last me through the workday. The initial spray does smell a little plastic-y, but disappears quickly into a beautiful fig, vanilla and tonka dry-down with an almost fresh feel.

One of my favorites from Jo Malone's EL line. Sadly the longevity is very much like the regular line when this is part of the intense line. I'd say it lasts maybe 1 or 2 hours longer than the regular line and that's still not saying much Very lovely almondy-helitrope and iris gorgeous. It's a very sophisticated fragrance. It's not super "mature" but not juvenile sweet either, I actually wouldnt call it sweet at all despite presence of tonka etc. Those who are die-hard fans, might want to check the COO for this, because 1. better discount 2. it might be getting discontinued and you want to get to it before its completely gone.

Signature Fragrance worthy. This is on my top 5 perfumes. This smells like a very creamy, expensive, hydrating face moisturizer. It has a cosmetic vibe to it (very probable from the Orris), and I feel this is a scent that wouldn't bother anyone. It doesn't project like crazy or leave a huge scent trail, but it sure lasts all day. If you spray on clothes, it will last even more. This is very intimate, warm, soft and elegant. There is nothing wrong with this, I love it! Also, this doesn't smell like Rolling in Love BUT it has the same scent vibe. They are family but not siblings or cousins. They are distantly related.

It is absolutely beautiful. A blind buy and it’s really nice. I’m happy I didn’t pay attention to the negative reviews and I find it very unfair. Doesn’t matter it’s not the longest lasting or it doesn’t project like a beast. I don’t like very long lasting aspect in parfumes. I have a big collection and it’s a pleasure to keep refreshing.. scarlet poppy is a very beautiful parfume, warm yet soft, creamy and floral.. not offensive or in your face..an absolute pleasure. It’s definitely one of my JML favorites; wood sage and sea salt, mimosa and cardamom, orris and sandalwood and now added this red beauty to my list♥️

Almost passed on even trying this because I didn't like Poppy & Barley. This is nothing like P&B. This scent has a smooth, creamy, old-world make-upy thing going on that P&B just doesn't. Honestly, I find it to be as close to a dupe as is possible for ELDO's Putain des Palaces, only I didn't actually like Putain. I'm not sure why. It wore funky on me and went sort of puke-y smelling after about 30 minutes. Not a good thing. Scarlet Poppy is exactly as Putain opens, only Scarlet wears creamier and almost sweet over time (as opposed to puke-y which Putain wore over time.)

I bought an excellent dupe of this called Formula #562 by a company called Perfectly Scentsable. It's an extrait de parfum, so it lasts and lasts. Loved it so much that I bought the original Scarlet Poppy. Well, I'm very glad to have Scarlet Poppy in my collection, and I love everything about it, but the dupe is spot on and is extrait strength, so just wanted to throw that out there for people who love this scent DNA but wish it was stronger. I know that Dua has a dupe too, but they are my least favorite dupe house, so I haven't tried it yet.

Not to be dramatic but when my time comes, the mortician will have to pry this crimson bottle out of my cold, dead, manicured hands. It’s scary how poignant this is to me. Again, I hate to be dramatic or whatever, but my soul is in this bottle. In my post-mortem letter to loved ones, I’ll instruct them to shatter all remaining ml on sacred Grecian grounds to release my spirit into the atmosphere and finally set me free. I like to sit with a fragrance for a couple days before giving my 2¢, but the circumstances are now just too dire.

this is a very unique blend that i love having in my collection. fig is one of my favourite notes, so i just had to have it! however note that the fig does not take center stage here: all the notes are seamlessly blended in a delightful, warm, deep concoction. i love what the poppy and the barley bring to the table in this scent; to me, this is a nutty, powdery scent wrapped in a vanilla embrace. as other users have already said, the juice is not beast mode BUT i can definitely catch wafts of it for at least 5 hours after spraying.

I love this! I just matched it with a B&BW lotion Hibiscus Peach and it brings out the scent beautifully! It’s in my top 5 fragrances for life! the notes are right up my alley! Barley is such a great comforting note. Fig, Poppy and Heliotrope are so well mixed together! Longevity is good when oversprayed and also on my clothes, sillage is a compliment getter and trails so nicely behind you. This is unisex and everyone can wear this! It is also a year rounder for me. Highly Recommended 12/10 that’s how good it is!

Honestly, this a very nostalgic fragrance. It reminds me and my partner of us rummaging through our parent's old make-up. It's giving mom self-care before bed. The most prominent notes for me are tonka bean and heliotrope. It doesn't last the longest on my skin, and I'm sure other reviewers have felt the same way. It's a beautiful smell in all regards, and I was able to purchase it at a decent price on eBay. Happy with the one bottle I have so far, I don't think I would go out of my way to buy another one.

Beautiful fragrance, gorgeous bottle, my favourite scent profile. Orris, fig, and tonka? Sign me up! But it doesn't matter. Longevity is just simply *not there*. I get 20 minutes, 30 if I layer with Molecule 01, after that, all I get is the Molecule. Nothing helps. I don't need beast modes in my collection, I like to use a few different perfumes each day so I'm perfectly fine with moderate longevity but here it's non existent, at least for me. But the scent itself is gorgeous. Wish it lasted longer!

Probably my favourite scent of all time, i do get similar vibes like Hypnotic poison bc it's so creamy but less Vanilla and more refined smelling. The only downside is the longevity, I can't smell it anymore after a short time :( but maybe that's just bc it's a scent you easily get used to If there was a body cream with the same scent I would immediately buy it to boost the longevity I also love that very few people have it since it's not easily available everywhere (at least in my country) 9/10 :)

Scarlett Poppy is soft feminine powdery,vanilla scents .Lovely, pretty, dainty perfume ,there is something calming in the dry down that makes you want to sniffed it again.Just spray it more if you like to make it last longer ,The scent buble is beautiful, when the wind blows,i could smell it again and it put smile on my face It is mass pleasing like other Jo Malone perfumes . I pair it with Peony& Blush Suede lotion and wash because they don't have body care line for intense one.

I smelled this on a girl on the first day of class two years ago and knew that we had to be friends. She turned out to be a chainsmoking Italian from a tiny province with impeccable taste - think vintage Louis Vuitton and lots of metallics. She always looked tired and tousled in the chicest way, and she spoke with an enviable rasp in her voice (likely due to all the chainsmoking). All this to say, whoever wears this has a definite "cool girl" aura. This one's for you, V.

My signature scent, I'm in löve. Somehow it's coconutty to me like luxurious tanning oil. It's elegant, well blended tonka, orris & amber and goes with every occasion. Not the best but better performance compared to other JM perfumes. Lasts long around at least 8hrs. Nothing similar with Kilian's Rolling in Love which I find sticky sweet. Yeah it's not a performance monster in terms of sillage but I think the scent itself worth the price. Definitely feminine.

Sexy warm delectable thing, this is my second bottle of Scarlet Poppy. I love her & i can’t be without her. Like other reviewers mentioned SP is comforting, creamy, and there is just something so alluring about this scent. I will say this though, SP shines on skin the most & actually has great longevity. I find It turns into an “ugly” scent on synthetic clothing like polyester. I find it truly shines better on skin and anything cotton. Hope that helps :)

It really is an addictive scent and probably the first perfume i’ve seen that actually corresponds to the fragrantica pyramid. Exactly as it’s listed- powdery, vanila, floral and sweet. I like it a lot, the longevity is good on me. In my opinion this is a great alternative to those who like heavy winter fragrances but can’t wear them to the office because of their colleagues. This one is perfect for work, still sweet and addictive but a bit toned down.

I absolutely adore this scent. Powdery, sweet, and it makes me feel so good but there is absolutely no projection. It lasts on my skin for around 6 hours and much longer on clothes, but there is just no sillage after about half an hour. Expected with a cologne, I know, but such a shame nonetheless. For this reason the price is not justified to me, but I still find myself repurchasing and wearing it almost daily because it's simply delicious

It smelled so unusual and seductive on a blotter but on my skin it transformed into something beyond words. Someone mentioned the vibe of an opium den and I concur. A dash of sweetness that wasn't cloying and a warm dry down that felt so comforting. But. The performance is absolute crap. I tried all tricks under the sun and it just disappeared within an hour. If it had more longevity, I would never think twice about repurchasing.

Does anyone know why there is two versions of SP on Fragrantica?! Have they reformulated?!?! This smells creamy, soft, cozy, and well blended. When I am not wearing this scent, I spend the entire time picturing the smell and wanting to have it on! It’s addicting. I was scared when I saw “powdery” on the list, as I usually hate powder smells but it’s more like a dreamy fluffy cloud rather than a grandma powder smell.

I think it’s time Jo Malone came out with a hand cream or body lotion of Scarlet Poppy. It would be criminal to not capitalize on this scent profile in a moisturizer form. I would purchase in a heartbeat. Also I’m not sure why Kilian Rolling in Love is still listed as the most similar. Scarlet Poppy is warmer and Rolling in Love is a bit “fresher” or brighter with different florals and tones. Love them both though.

Tested this, after I walked around the mall for a few hours, I kept smelling my arm and it was getting better and it was calling my name. I went to the store an purchased it, I never thought I would buy a Jo Malone fragrance, this one was a great addition to my growing collection. After wearing this a few times, I have no regret with this purchase. Great fragrance for everyday use. Makes a great fragrance for work.

There is a “make-upy” sort of note in here that I absolutely love. It’s a similar note to Rolling in Love, by Killian but that perfume is a bit louder. This perfume is beautiful and subtly sexy. It smells niche. It smells like a wealthy woman who has a quiet confidence, dresses elegantly, is soft spoken, and knows her value. Between this one and RIL I like this one better. It’s more calming.

LOVE at first sniff. This smells like very realistic almonds lightly accentuated with some floral notes (i think its the poppy??). Its not that typical synthetic almond found in most cheap almond scented bath products, but it smells like ACTUAL almonds! Amazing! But for the price, the strength and longevity is so dissapointing! Gone in an hour :(. Just hoping they come out with an EDP.

My God! This is a beauty! This scent reminds me of Play-Doh, but it's fancy Play-Doh. I smell a powdery, soft vanilla and a creamy almond scent. There's tonka bean for a deeper edge, there are subtle floral notes and there's something I can't put into words! This perfume is super comforting and I actually want to cuddle with it! There's also a sexy side. I love this sexy Play-Doh!

I love this so much, its comforting and warm. Gourmand without being a literal cookie smell. But like many, it lasts about 2 hours and then I need to sniff very aggressively to detect it. Still, will likely FB as I love it that much. Update: The lack of sillage/longevity makes me mad. I dont want someone 12 feet away to smell me, but I would like it to last more than an hour.

It's soo addictive, classy, feminine and truly unique.Wearing it feels like lying on a bed draped in beige satin sheets, sipping Chardonnay, and contemplating love. The composition is beautifully blended —creamy, warm, and sophisticated. I especially adore the touch of Tonka in the dry down. It also gets so many compliments and remains perfectly office-friendly.

9/10 Love how creamy and comforting this fragrance is; perfect for fall and winter! The ambrette and tonka bean notes play such a huge role in making this fragrance lactonic yet comforting. If you want a more intimate and relaxing fragrance for 'cuddling season'. Due to the lack of strong projection and longevity, i don't think I'll purchase a second bottle.
