Atkinsons Californian Poppy (new) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017. Californian Poppy (new) opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Jasmine, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Poppy, Orange Blossom, and Calone, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Incense. Atkinsons's Californian Poppy (new) carries a Favourite verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as hell. Some rave about its unique fresh dryness, while others get nothing but stale fags or detergents. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sniff before you splurge.

About

Opens with a brisk, peppery citrus kick from bergamot, lemon, and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a clean, airy floral heart of jasmine, orange blossom, and an abstract poppy note. The calone adds a touch of aquatic freshness before settling into a soft, musky cedar base with just a hint of earthy incense. It’s fresh, dry, and surprisingly clean, though some pick up a smoky facet.
