Jo Malone London Scarlet Poppy is a Cologne launched in 2021, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Scarlet Poppy settles into a heart of Poppy and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. Jo Malone London's Scarlet Poppy carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A creamy, warm, and sophisticated floral for those who fancy a touch of luxury. While some find its longevity typical of Jo Malone (read: fleeting), others rave about its surprising staying power. It's either a love-at-first-sniff dream or a wet-wipe-and-playdough nightmare for some, proving it's anything but boring.

About

Scarlet Poppy opens with a smooth, velvety floral note, quickly intertwining with a rich, inviting tonka bean. This creates a sweet, almost gourmand embrace, subtly spiced by ambrette's musky warmth. The composition is a harmonious blend of creamy vanilla, soft powder, and understated amber, leaving a lingering impression of luxurious comfort.
