Heavy fabric of broom and amber
Right at the beginning a concentrated floral scent - spicy, almost peppery, with a darkened freshness. The coffee note is not recognizable as such: no obtrusively acidic powdered coffee or brandish cheap espresso that steamed against you. It only smells gently of the finest coffee beans, which, slowly roasted at a low temperature, unfold a broad spectrum of aromas that reach into the floral. The coffee is not used here for a gourmand effect, but takes over the function of rounding off the scent and limiting its depth
The molasses-sweet bouquet of flowers is densely woven, but reveals individual notes. In the centre stands broom, heavy with nectar, beguiling and somewhat soapy, reinforced by sweet mimosa, powdery heliotrope, narcotic orange blossom and spicy coriander seeds. Over time, the fragrance becomes lighter and brighter, as if the individual flowers rise from the coffee ground and form a light layer above them, which limits the fragrance upwards.
Later, the amber tinted with vanilla and resins rises and the fragrance becomes softer. At the same time, it is as if the flowers are sinking into him. Thus the amber does not appear dimly diffuse, but until the end wonderfully alive.
Popy Moreni is a concise and harmoniously composed floral valley. Although the fragrance is very spicy and quite sweet, it is not unpleasant at all, on the contrary. Both characteristics are dosed in such a way that they are balanced and nevertheless create a tension between themselves: the perfumer Martin Gras has managed this masterfully. By the way, he created some well-known works like "Lapidus pour Homme", "Boudoir" for Vivienne Westwood as well as "1881 pour Homme" for Nino Cerruti.
It is a pity that the perfume, like the entire brand, has fallen into oblivion. I was curious about Popy Moreni's other fragrances, including creations by Bernard Ellena and Sophie Labbé
The bottle is an early work by Thierry de Baschmakoff and was used for all the perfumes in the line right up to the last. Its shape, a collar (with a stylized thimble, needle and thread as a clasp), was the theme of a collection and the name of a solo exhibition by fashion designer Annalisa Moreni the year before the perfume was launched.
Those interested in fashion can take a look at the presentation of the collection from the year after here:
