London Poppy
by Floral Street
London Poppy is a bright, fresh floral with prominent citrus and marine accords, leading with orange and Sicilian lemon, followed by a soft, generic floral blend including jasmine sambac and sunflower. The scent develops into a clean, slightly powdery finish with subtle woodiness and a synthetic, soap-like sweetness. It leans toward a minimalist, upscale body wash or hotel spa vibe, with a noticeable aquatic freshness that evokes ocean air and mild sea notes. The fragrance is best suited for spring and summer, particularly daytime wear, and is widely perceived as safe, unobtrusive, and ideal for casual office settings or active lifestyles. While some find it nostalgic or pleasant, others find it amorphous, synthetic, and lacking in depth or distinction. It lacks longevity and sillage, fading within a few hours, making it a low-stakes choice that may require reapplication.
