How do you create a perfume inspired by the beautiful and scentless poppy flower? Spanish perfumer Alberto Morillas’ interpretation features a bouquet of Bulgarian roses, parma violet, cassis and hawthorn. Vanilla and opoponax (also known as sweet myrrh) accentuate the sweetness of the powdery scent without making it smell overly saccharine, while a woody note of incense helps ground the long-wearing scent. A spritz of this lasted the whole day.
