🌼 The Story Behind the Scent

Created as part of Jo Malone’s “English Fields” collection, Poppy & Barley is a scent designed to evoke the countryside in full bloom.

It’s not your typical floral. It’s radiant, youthful, and just a little wild.

🌿 Fragrance Family: Floral

This is a floral with texture and contrast. The vivid brightness of poppy is balanced by the creamy, nutty depth of barley—a pairing that feels both fresh and familiar.
