Poppy, a plant in the Papaveraceae family that is also a source of narcotics such as morphine, has red flowers and is a favorite flower of the Impressionist painter Claude Monet and KENZO founder Kenzo Takada.
Although poppies are very short-lived in a vase, they also grow with the vigor of weeds. The flowers of the common red poppy (Papaver rhoeas) have no scent detectable to humans, but KENZO created a powdery floral fragrance inspired by the flower.
What Does It Smell Like in Perfume?
In perfume, poppy is a creative floral note inspired by the sight of flowers growing in the wild, rather than one specific natural fragrance material. It is depicted by layering the sweetness of soft petals with a cosmetic-powder quality, the freshness of green stems and leaves, and a subtle fruitiness. It adds lightness and an ephemeral air to a floral bouquet: emphasizing its green aspects makes it refreshing, while layering floral sweetness makes it gently radiant. Because it is built from several materials, this note can take on a delicate or a fantastical character, depending on the intensity of its sweetness and powderiness.
