The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Atkinsons, Californian Poppy (new) is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of California's iconic poppies. The composition opens with a bright burst of pink pepper and bergamot, followed by the sweet warmth of jasmine and lemon. As it settles into its base notes of musk, cedar, and incense, the scent becomes enveloping yet light, like walking through a field of wildflowers under a clear blue sky.
Apply one or two sprays to ensure the bright top notes don't overpower the warmer base. The scent develops best close to skin, so aim for pulse points for maximum warmth and depth.
