Ambrette opens Scarlet Poppy Intense by Jo Malone London on a soft, musky note rather than a sharp one. Orris brings a powdery, cool edge to the heart, and fig with poppy add a quiet, fruity sweetness alongside it. The base turns gourmand: heliotrope, barley and tonka bean, reading almost like warm almond, for a cosy, sweet finish. Launched in 2020 and worn by women, it suits anyone who likes powdery florals with a dessert-like edge. Voters wear it across fall and winter, both by day and at night, and it is a natural pick for going out. Longevity votes lean moderate, and sillage votes lean strong, so it announces itself before settling down. A 3ml decant covers a run of autumn days before you commit to more.

The community verdict
Ambrette starts Scarlet Poppy Intense with a musky softness before fig, orris and poppy meet tonka bean. Its creamy, powdery sweetness suits autumn nights, while winter and daytime work too. Staying power divides between moderate and long-lasting; projection leans strong, though some find it moderate.

The house
More from Jo Malone London
Jo Malone London is a British fragrance house, founded by Jo Malone in 1990, known for simple, clearly drawn scents that often put two ingredients in the name. The mood is relaxed and easy to wear, with sea salt and clary sage on the fresh side and rose, amber, tonka bean and vanilla on the warmer one. Start with Wood Sage & Sea Salt, salty and marine over aromatic herbs. English Pear Freesia is fruity and softly floral, and Myrrh & Tonka is a sweet amber with a vanilla glow. Velvet Rose Oud is the dark one, rose over oud. Two or three small bottles make it easy to find your favourite.
