Seeds of the Pomegranate, Leaves of the Poppy

Recommended Posts

Gleaming pomegranate seed and scarlet poppies.

I expected this to be a bright red, juicy scent, but (on me at least) it's more subtle than that. The pomegranate and poppy are both present, but this is neither a fruity nor a floral scent. It's mildly sweet, a little sultry, almost spicy, very sensuous. It stays close to the skin and blooms as it dries, surprising me by getting stronger just as I think it's about to fade. Beautiful!

Decant: Bright and deep red pomegranate.

Wet on Me: This smells like a Kirklands Store. That deep but bright pom that is a touch spicy

Drying Down: just this lovely lovely deep fruity pom scent. the spicy-ness I am getting must be from the poppy

Dry: like Kirklands settled on me and forms a lovely cloud of heady goodness!

 

Bottle worthy

Deep pomegranate, and a swirl of poppies. It smells almost red wine-ish to me. This is a very red blend in vibe. Average throw, average wear length.

 

Fruity, winey, pom.

In the imp: Bright, bright multivitamin candy fruit. This pomegranate almost reads cherry to me.

 

Wet on skin: There, that's a bit more pomegranate.The poppies are pretty, but it's like they're sugaring up the pomegranate a bit. Well, sweetening it - like a floral sweetness.

 

Dried down: Pomegranate softened by the floral poppy.

 

Throw: This has a very little bit of throw, very pomegranatey.

 

Verdict: *** This is nice, but it doesn't feel special to me. Especially after A Rosy Colour. My go-to pomegranate scent is still She Crushes for Dead Men Deadly Wine.

In the bottle: Pomegranate and poppy.

 

Wet: It's as though poppy flowers, freshly-cut and washed in cold water, were floated in a deep bowl of pomegranate juice.

 

The dry-down: As this dries, it loses its freshness, but is still a heady scent that lives close to the skin. This could be a lovely date night scent. I have no LBD, but I have a lacy dress in navy and a nice blazer that would be lovely to wear this with. :) This was my major choice for a blind bottle from the Anniversaries, as I love both notes, and the simplicity of the scent appealed to me.

Definitely pomegranate at first, though it's not as tart as it is when I eat them. It is a sweet pom, with nothing much else. The poppy, or incense, as I find poppy to be, is hardly present. It may come out a bit after an hour so, but it's virtually non-existent. Uber sweet pom, kind of reminds me of cream soda, or a fruity drink. This would be a lot better if there were more spice or incense present.
