L'Erbolario Papavero Soave is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Papavero Soave opens with Herbal, Mandarin, and Peach, settles into a heart of Poppy, Neroli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. L'Erbolario's Papavero Soave carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Prepare for a proper powerhouse, because this isn't your average sweet floral. Papavero Soave is a deeply polarising, unapologetically intense scent, packed with sweet, boozy, and often surprising twists. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but never dull.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, as noted by several reviewers. It shines in evening and formal settings, with many describing it as sensual and perfect for a night out, though its gourmand sweetness limits its formal versatility.

About

Opens with an intriguing, liqueur-like sweetness of peach and mandarin, laced with an unusual herbal edge. This quickly melts into an opulent, heady floral heart where rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang intertwine with a distinctive, slightly bitter poppy and artemisia. The base settles into a warm, powdery embrace of vanilla, amber, patchouli, and sandalwood, creating a rich, almost edible finish with a plush, red velvet texture.
