Matilija Poppy
Fragrance notes
Character
The blood orange and raspberry in Matilija Poppy provide a bright, tart fruitiness that feels immediate. Juniper and bergamot add a sharp, aromatic edge to the mix. Peony, lily, and poppy create a floral layer that is airy rather than heavy. The papyrus and ivy notes ground the scent with a dry, green texture.
Milk softens the sharper citrus and spice elements with a creamy, smooth quality. Amber and smoke introduce a warm, slightly resinous depth that contrasts with the fresh spicy accord. The fragrance feels like a study in contrasts, moving between juicy fruit and dry wood without settling into a single mood.
Serena Rivera composed this 2022 release for There/Then as a floral fruity scent that also welcomes men. It carries a sweet accord, but the green and woody facets keep it from becoming cloying. The overall impression is modern and artistic, suited for someone who enjoys a complex, evolving scent profile that defies simple categorization.
The fragrance fits a walk through a damp garden where fallen leaves mix with cold air and bright berries. It suits a person who wears a soft sweater and appreciates a scent that feels both wild and polished. The final impression is a glass vase filled with pale petals sitting on a rain-slicked wooden porch.
