Our verdict on Scarlet Poppy Intense: Favourite

This one is a divisive Jo Malone - some find it an addictive, creamy dream, while others are underwhelmed by its subtlety and fleeting presence. It's a hug in a bottle for many, but don't expect a beast mode projector.

Its soft sillage and comforting, clean feel make it highly suitable for office or casual wear without being intrusive. While alluring, its creamy and powdery nature might be too relaxed for highly formal events, and its warmth makes it unsuitable for sport.

About

Scarlet Poppy Intense opens with a delicate, almost marzipan-like sweetness, hinting at almond before settling into a soft, powdery heart. Orris provides a makeup-like, iris-flourish, subtly blended with a non-descript floral 'poppy' accent and a juicy fig undertone. The base is creamy and plush, a comforting blend of warm tonka bean, heliotrope's almond-vanilla whispers, and a unique, bready barley note, creating a scent that's both cosy and subtly alluring.
