Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - London Poppy Eau de Parfum

A sunny citrus top of orange and Sicilian lemon settles into a soft sunflower-neroli heart over light marine woods. Reviewers call it a nice everyday scent, an easy spring and summer pick for office, errands and daytime dates.

Our Verdict - Shadow of Your Smile Eau de Parfum

Skip this one. It's a bland, uninspired citrus floral that disappears faster than your hopes for a decent blind buy. Don't fall for the fancy name; it’s a total letdown in a bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit

London Poppy Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A citrus-led top with neroli, orange blossom and a light marine accord reads as bright and warm-weather; the community positions it firmly as a sunny, uplifting spring and summer wear.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Described as a light everyday citrus-floral and Jo Malone-adjacent, which suits office and casual daywear; not bold or sensual enough to dominate an evening or formal setting.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Sport

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its weak performance and extremely light citrus-floral profile make it mostly suitable for casual, inoffensive wear, though it's far too fleeting for any significant occasion. The lack of projection makes it acceptable for an office if you want to smell like nothing very quickly, and its freshness lends itself to sport, if only for a short burst.
