Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Red Poppy bursts open with a bright, fruity fanfare of bergamot, orange, and peach, softened by the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a rich, complex bouquet where intoxicating rose and jasmine mingle with the spicy warmth of cardamom and anise, a hint of neroli, and a powdery whisper of almond and vanilla. The grand finale is a deep, resinous embrace of sandalwood, iris, tonka bean, benzoin, and a luxurious touch of ambergris, leaving an enduring, opulent trail.
