Steamy Poppy For Women

Steamy Poppy chases YSL's Opium Vapeurs, the airy, modern reimagining of the classic Opium. It opens fresh and lively with juicy mandarin lifted by sparkling pink pepper, before a sensual heart of orange blossom and Sambac jasmine adds a soft, powdery floralcy. A gentle vanilla and light woods round out the base for an intimate, skin-close warmth. As a budget version it tracks the original's caressing, luminous-oriental character well, though it renders the florals flatter and the vanilla simpler, losing some of the spiced depth. Performance is modest - the original itself is on the lighter side - so it sits close and fades sooner than a full oriental. A pretty, easy-to-wear feminine scent for evenings, dates and cooler days.
