Xplicit Poppy
Xplicit Poppy by Mancera is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with grapefruit, moves into poppy, osmanthus and patchouli and dries down to oud, vetiver and peru balsam. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Heart
- Poppy Soft, powdery and faintly green. Poppy barely smells in nature, so perfumers build an impression of it.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
