The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1906, California Poppy by Atkinsons is a Floral fragrance for women that captures the essence of its namesake flower with bright, sunny top notes of citrus and bergamot. The heart blooms with soft jasmine and rose, before settling into a warm base of vanilla and musk. Despite its relatively poor longevity, this scent leaves a strong impression, much like the vibrant poppies it represents.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance liberally to ensure it lasts throughout the day. The strong sillage makes it best suited for daytime wear when the citrus and floral notes can complement an uplifting mood without overpowering.
