About This Perfume
Yardley Poppy & Violet smells like cool green leaves, violet florals, soft cedar-musk. It opens with ivy, bergamot and red pepper, moves into poppy, rose and violet and settles on cashmere, cedarwood and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This body mist is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and the office.
Wearers report that it wears for a few hours, and projects to about arm's length. Plan to reapply on a long day.
