The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Jo Malone London, Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense was crafted by perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui to capture the essence of a bold and romantic floral experience. The fragrance opens with ambrette (musk mallow), which adds an aromatic freshness that transitions seamlessly into the heart note of red poppy, creating a lush and vibrant floral character. The base note of tonka bean grounds the composition with its warm and sweet muskiness, giving the scent depth and longevity.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact. The top note of ambrette fades quickly, but the heart and base notes settle into a warm embrace that lasts throughout the day. Best worn during cooler evenings when the warmth of tonka bean adds depth.
