Creaminess in a bottle
I like the Jo Malone fragrances. Many criticize yes always the durability, but it is also just about Colognes and the airiness is simply part of the brand identity, are to be finally all beautiful with each other layer
Scarlet Poppy falls there so a bit out of the grid, because light and airy I find him not. Of course, he is also not a heavyweight (we are still talking about Jo Malone), but he differs in his way of making already clearly from the other fragrances, I find. As soon as you spray it on, you get the full creaminess. The ambergris seeds take no prisoners and are there immediately. They then also remain, because, I have to chalk up the fragrance unfortunately, a fragrance development he does not go through at least on my skin. Barley and fig read nicely (I love fig!), but none of that I can detect. There remains an engaging, warm creaminess without changing. The longevity is quite okay at 5-6 hours, with the projection quite restrained. A feel-good fragrance, especially now in the colder months. In summer, it would probably be too compact for me from the scent impression. By no means heavy, but just not so...airy, lightweight, breezy (somehow I can only think of English descriptions that reflect what I mean).
On the whole, something new from the house of Jo Malone and not bad, but you should not be blinded by the fragrance notes. For all who are looking for a warm, creamy fragrance without much frills to cuddle up but quite a recommendation. The bottle I find quite something misleading, red has often something wicked and awakens certain associations of a sexy, seductive fragrance - that is not Scarlet Poppy. It is designed more for sofa evenings alone or as a couple than for the grand entrance. But, that would have expected with Jo Malone probably anyway no one.

The preppy clean girl
I bought the perfume rather by chance, because it would never have ended up in my shopping cart purely because of the fragrance notes. I normally like vanilla and avoid anything flowery or floral. But I had to redeem a voucher and it was the only perfume that appealed to me after a lot of research. And rightly so.

The first time I sprayed it, I was immediately reminded of my teenage years. Abercrombie & Fitch stores, to be precise. When you used to walk into the stores, a cloud of perfume would immediately fill your nose. Clean, soft, preppy, a little fresh but somehow inviting and also a little grown-up.
Associations: Polo shirt, tennis court, white tennis skirt, sleek plait, lightly tanned and sporty. Eating out at the golf club, summer parties and horse racing in the Hamptons à la Gossip Girl, London Kensington. Simply classic preppy.

The perfume is quite clean in the opening, slightly creamy/powdery but absolutely not floral or too sweet. It has that typical "freshly showered" note that stays with you the whole time. I find it very feminine, "sophisticated" and yet warm and hearty. In my opinion, it's a perfect scent for the office and everyday wear, as it's also quite close to the skin. Signature scent worthy.

I can't really say much about the fragrance notes themselves. I smell iris and ambrette and the drydown is sweet, but not "pure" tonka bean sweet, there is probably heliotrope and barley mixed in. A very light floral note also remains in the drydown. The fig gives the fragrance a light, super pleasant, spring-like freshness - as if you were walking through a blooming garden.
In my opinion, it is an absolute that clean girl fragrance. No frills, clean but youthful and soft. Feminine but unobtrusive and light. I - as a gourmand and vanilla lover - like it very much.

A really good fragrance
A really lame title for a really good fragrance - chosen on the possibly naïve assumption that something lame will stand out in this day and age - a kind of antidote to clickbait. I hope my plan works, because Scarlet Poppy deserves more attention.

I was introduced to the fragrance when I bought a few bottles from a friendly perfumer and was immediately impressed. What a nice fragrance, I thought, so soft and warm, somehow fluffy, slightly gourmand to my nose, but not too sweet. Creamy, well-groomed and a touch sensual. Above all, I get a lot of fig and barley, a cozy, pleasant combination. Shyly beautiful, not intrusive, not loud, not defiant, but simply unusually pretty with the emphasis on unusual. Off to the wish list.

But my wish list was so long! First of all, I had to get my hands on Le Vestiaire - Babycat, and then the Vanilla | 28 and of course the bombastic Grand Soir. My wallet suffered a lot. More and more fragrances ended up on my wish list, which I was sorting and clearing out like a madwoman every day. Scarlet Poppy ended up on my wish list again, and every time I wore something from the bottling, it was back on the wish list. If there was a bottle in the souk, my fingers twitched like crazy, but I always thought about it too long and then it was sold. Damn.

This went on and on until the bottle was empty and a strange emptiness spread through me. I wondered if I should get another bottle, then realized with astonishment that my bottle of Scarlet Poppy was the first one I had ever emptied. It made no sense, I had to get a bottle.

A few weeks went by, then I bought it and what can I say, I've been using it every few days since it arrived. For me, Scarlet Poppy always works. Because it's just a really good fragrance!

It’s good
I wasn’t sure about this perfume at first, and waited a little while before applying the sample to my wrists, making sure it was a couple hours before my shower in case I had to run to wash it off.

However, I’m happily surprised to really like it!

The scent is warm and soft, sweet and powdery floral, and a little bit sexy. I can smell the tonka bean, and cherry. To me it’s presenting a bit like TF Lost Cherry!

I keep smelling my wrists, and that’s a great thing, so I splurged on a bottle!

Cremiger Blütentraum für Männer und Frauen
Ich werde mich kurz fassen: Dieser Duft ist wunderschön: Er ist modern, aber doch mondän. Der Mohn und die Iris stehen im Vordergrund, aber die Tonkabohne gibt nach ein, zwei Stunden auch ihren Senf dazu; die Gerste verleiht dem ganzen den Feinschliff. Die Feige konnte ich jetzt nicht ausfindig machen, aber meine Nase ist auch noch nicht so geübt wie so manch eine andere. Die Noten verschmelzen in ein blumig-cremiges Prachtstück, das, meines Erachtens, jeder tragen kann, ob männlich oder weiblich, falls er/sie/* sich mit etwas weiblich angelehnten Düften wohlfühlt.
Auf meiner Haut bleibt der Duft mindest 10 Stunden erhalten; er ist teils sogar noch da, wenn ich am nächsten Morgen aufwache — eine Rarität für das Haus Jo Malone. Zum Layern ist er auch extrem gut geeignet; der Kreativität sind fast keine Grenzen gesetzt, nur vielleicht nicht mit Sécretions Magnifiques mischen :)

A mid-sillage fragrance that, while not versatile, is alluring and provocative! Use this on a date night, and there will be zero regrets!

I love this creamy floral scent. Balanced and not too sweet. A shame it does not last very long.
