Poppy & Barley - Cologne

soft, clean girl scent

LOVE this! clean, fresh out of the shower scent but SOFT, not harsh.

Smells Devine

I was at Edinburgh Airport and treated myself to one of my favourite Jo Malone scentsóBasil & Nerolióalong with the Blackberry & Bay body cream. The assistant kindly gave me a sample of Poppy & Barley, so while waiting for my flight, I spritzed some on, andóOMG, WOWóI loved it! I know mint isn't listed as an ingredient, but to me, there was a subtle minty note, which I adore in perfumes. Jo Malone used to do Mint and Raspberry years ago, which I loved pairing together, but sadly, they discontinued it. I do wish they'd bring it back, as I'm not too keen on Jasmine & Mint. Before I caught my flight, I rushed back and purchased a bottleóI just couldn't leave without it! I loved smelling it throughout the flight, and although some reviews say the scent doesn't last, on me, it lingered beautifully for hours. Another one added to my list of Jo Malone favourites! Next time, I'll be getting the Poppy & Barley body lotion to make the fragrance last even longer.??

Beautiful but doesn’t last long

Gorgeous scent, very sexy and earthy, but doesn’t last long so I’m putting twice as much as a normal perfume on, I think I’ll get through it quite fast and it’s so expensive!

Perfect all around

This smells like a warmer version of your skin. Cuddling up in a warm blanket, yet sensual and could also be worn everyday. It’s a perfect signature scent and wonderful for layering just as Jo untended.

Great every day scent!

Great every day scent! I love that you can layer different scents from the brand and they aren’t too over powering.

Really light and floral, this is my favourite JM

My favourite JM cologne, light and floral, this lasts all day.

Fragrance doesn't last for more than 30 mins

I am giving it a 2 star because I love the smell otherwise the scent doesn't stay for more than 30 mins. There is no trace or lingering smell of the perfume. I have been using the Nectarine Blossom Homey since the last 3 years which is on the lighter side and fades quickly. I am so bummed coz the fragrance is really nice!

Formula change :(

This perfume used to be my absolute favourite, but the formula has clearly changed. Now, it has an overwhelming scent that’s reminiscent of bug spray. What was once a lovely, balanced fragrance has turned into something unwearable. I'm really disappointed, as it no longer resembles the scent I loved.

Hot Summer Scent Compliment Getter

The nose who made this also made iconic Charnel Gris. This fig is better here! Layer w WSS for compliments. Hot summer day perfume perfection. A woman made me write down what I was wearing so she could buy.

Fresh & Sweet

This fragrance lasted all day and received many compliments. I love the fresh yet sweet smell it has. It’s reputation follows the product, the quality of this fragrance is amazing. I recommend this for anyone who wants to smell good.

New addition to my collection

I love love love this cologne. The subtle floral hint is what attracted me. I can’t wait to add this cologne to my collection!

Interesting scent to layer

I received this sample in exchange for this post. This perfume smells soft sweet and warm. It’s quite inviting and the poppy adds some interest to the black currant. I could see myself wearing this more in colder months but also in the evening.
