Yardley London Poppy & Violet is a body spray launched in 2020. Poppy & Violet opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Ivy, settles into a heart of Poppy, Rose, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, and Cedar. Yardley London's Poppy & Violet carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

An affordable, powdery-floral Body Mist opening on ivy, bergamot and a hint of red pepper, softened by a violet-rose-poppy heart and a musky cedar-cashmere base. Clean and crowd-pleasing, built for a light everyday spritz rather than sillage.

Scent Profile

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick, at its best in spring and autumn - the fresh, powdery-floral profile is unchanged in the body mist, only fainter and shorter-lived than the EDT.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean profile suits office and casual wear well; as a body mist its lighter sillage makes it even less suited to formal events or a strong date-night impression than the already-gentle EDT.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Poppy & Violet Body Mist is the body-spray presentation of Yardley London's 2020 Eau de Toilette of the same name. It opens with a crisp blend of ivy, bergamot and a hint of red chilli pepper, develops a powdery violet, rose and poppy heart, and settles into a warm, comforting base of cedarwood, musk and cashmere wood. Community reviewers rate the Eau de Toilette as a surprisingly sophisticated, affordable floral that punches above its price point; this body mist carries the same note structure in a much lighter, shorter-wearing everyday format made with 97% naturally derived ingredients.
