Himalayan Blue Poppy
Note Profile
About
Himalayan Blue Poppy is a fantasy floral note named after the blue Meconopsis poppies of the Himalayas. The real flower has little or no scent. The note is a sheer, cool floral with a violet-like powderiness and a watery transparency.
Scent Profile
Himalayan Blue Poppy smells like a sheer, cool floral. A soft, tissue-paper powderiness, close to violet, runs through it. A watery transparency and a faint green note suggest cold, thin mountain air. It is an abstract flower, not a copy of a real one. It carries a soft, dry powder, like fine cosmetic powder, over the petals.
