Poppy Soma

Poppy Soma is a rich, densely layered oriental fragrance that leans heavily into smoky resinous florals with a distinct spicy backbone. Its core is built around white florals—jasmine sambac, tuberose, gardenia—interwoven with incense, labdanum, styrax, and a subtle but persistent heat from red and sichuan pepper. The fragrance evolves in a long, linear progression, beginning with a slightly soapy, greenish intensity that quickly mellows into a warm, thick, incense-drenched base. It feels both luxurious and confrontational, with a strong sillage that remains moderate to strong throughout its extensive longevity. On some, the styrax dominates and becomes overwhelming, while others find the spicy warmth and sweet musk to be magnetic and deeply personal. It defies easy comparison—it feels more like an intoxicating experience than a traditional perfume, drawing inspiration from opium-like sensuality, temple incense, and dark floral enigmas.
