Description
A 1920s poppy-themed perfume, with the French name giving it a more continental and fashionable character. It likely leaned floral, powdery, and slightly narcotic in mood, using the idea of poppy as a soft red floral fantasy rather than a literal natural extract. It feels vintage, cosmetic, and dramatic, with a gentle powder-and-petals finish suited to the postwar perfume style of the period.
