The story behind the bottle.
Mathilde Bijaoui's Scarlet Poppy Intense by Jo Malone London was launched in 2020 as a powdery floral masterpiece. The fragrance opens with ambrette (musk mallow), adding a subtle muskiness that lays the foundation for the heart notes of orris, fig, and poppy, which bring an earthy sweetness to the composition. As it settles into its base of tonka bean, heliotrope, and barley, Scarlet Poppy Intense evolves into a warm, enveloping embrace that feels both intimate and sensual.
One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of Scarlet Poppy Intense. The musky top note fades quickly, but the heart notes linger for hours, making it perfect for evening wear when you want a fragrance that feels close to your skin rather than filling a room.
