Poppy Leaves

The note unfolds with an immediate, vivid verdancy, reminiscent of snapping a fresh stem. It possesses a crisp, almost watery greenness, distinct from the sharper, drier aspects of cut grass or galbanum. There's an inherent coolness to it, a dewy, slightly sappy quality that evokes morning light filtering through lush foliage. A subtle, yet undeniable, hint of bitterness underlies its freshness, preventing it from becoming overly sweet or cloying, grounding it in a natural, earthy realism. It offers a transparent, airy projection initially, behaving predominantly as a top-to-mid note, where its vibrant character shines brightest before gradually softening into a more integrated, slightly herbaceous green accord. Its texture is smooth, almost slick, like the surface of a tender leaf, rather than rough or dusty. Longevity is moderate, typically fading gracefully as the heart notes emerge, leaving a whisper of clean, vegetal freshness.
