SMOKY POPPY - LOVELY SPICY ECHO FROM THE ERA OF THE CLASSICAL FRAGRANCES by BODY SHOP

SMOKY POPPY is THE BODY SHOP Valentine collection, presented for the Valentine's day in 2015.

I recently got the chance to find and buy Smoky Poppy EDT, which is already, very rare to find.

SMOKY POPPY - EDT, THE BODY SHOP

Scent notes, as announced:

Poppy, Floral notes, Spices, Woody notes

Immediately after the bursting of perfume reveals heady floral notes, based on spices, which later become as background (not disappear), giving place, to the spicy combination, as the most dominant notes are the smoked opium and coffee.

Exactly this very captivating intoxicating intense notes, bring this scent very very close to the perfume CAFE (by Cofinluxe) and OPIUM (as I assume - the classical version)! So, if you are searching for scent, which is very close to these two - get SMOKY POPPY, scented echo from the epoch of the spicy classical scents.

The EDT comes in small 30 ml black non-transparent glass spray bottle.

CONCLUSIONS

Lovely scent, very spicy, very sexy, very piquant.

It stays on the skin 4-6 hours. Normal intensity, not giving headache. Very pleasant, indeed!

Preferable to wear evening time. More precisely - special evenings.

I RECOMMEND IT!!!

DO YOU LOVE HYACINTH?... BLUE HYACINTH AFTER RAIN - SUNG by ALFRED SUNG

Do you like Hyacinth?... Do you really love Hyacinth?... Yes? Than, this is your scent!

Created in 1986. It opens like typical classical fragrance. The top notes are coming with fresh splash of sharp Hyacinth notes, which is dominating tone.

Sunny Hyacinth (accompanied by very tender, hint, invisible touch of Lily-of-the-valley and Carnation), under the brightest shiny crystal rain drops - the perfect Spring fantasy:

Pyramid:

TOP NOTES:

Orange, Mandarin Orange, Galbanum, Hyacinth, Ylang-Ylang, Bergamot, Lemon

HEART NOTES:

Osmanthus, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Iris, Carnation, Orchid, Rose

BASE NOTES:

Amber, Sandalwood, Orange Blossom, Vanilla, Vetiver, Musk, Oakmoss

Despite its rich composition, I can say, that this is pure crystal Hyacinth scent. I associate this particular scent, exactly and only with blue Hyacinth, after rain.

The perfume silage is strong, but if you spray too much, can be annoying for you first, and after - for the others.

It stays hours on your skin and from the settled down notes, you can catch very light hints of oakmoss, carnation, musk.

The perfume shows different in cold, hot weather and in dry or wet environmental conditions.

CONCLUSIONS

I recommend this perfume for day (if it's Summertime - spray cloud and go through) and evening wear.

It's not typical "classic" fragrance from that "heavy artillery" class of perfumes, from the past. It definitely doesn't leave some type of chemical dry down scent, after hours, as some recently launched perfumes.

I suppose, it's been re-formulated, despite I didn't find confirming information about. As soon, as I find, I will update.

Very stylish, very beautiful floral fragrance, and very clear bright scent of fresh blue Hyacinth after rain!
