Scarlet Poppy Intense

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Jo Malone Scarlet Poppy Intense

Scarlet Poppy Intense is Jo Malone’s rich, comforting floral gourmand, and our version keeps that cosy character, built around the same notes with real depth.

The Story Behind the Scent

Jo Malone built Scarlet Poppy Intense as a warm floral gourmand, pairing a soft ambrette opening with a scarlet poppy heart over a cosy tonka bean and barley base for a rich, comforting character.

Our interpretation follows that character, keeping the balance of the original and building it at a high perfume oil concentration so it lasts on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm poppy gourmand scent and wants a luxury style fragrance without the high price.
