Mancera Xplicit Poppy

Fragrance Overview

Xplicit Poppy is a fresh floral woody fragrance built around an imaginary poppy awakening in the crisp light of morning.

Rather than interpreting poppy as something delicate or traditionally floral, Mancera surrounds it with the sparkling freshness of a Sauvignon accord and grapefruit. Osmanthus brings a velvety, subtly fruity floral character, while patchouli, oud and vetiver gradually draw the fragrance into darker, earthier territory.

Peru balsam adds warmth and resinous depth to the base, creating a composition that moves from bright and almost crystalline freshness into sensual woods and balsams.

What Does Xplicit Poppy Smell Like?

Xplicit Poppy opens with a Sauvignon accord, bringing a crisp, sparkling character reminiscent of chilled white wine, alongside the tart freshness of grapefruit.

The heart introduces poppy and osmanthus, creating a soft floral effect with subtly fruity, apricot-like nuances. Patchouli adds an earthy depth beneath the flowers and begins the transition into the darker base.

Oud emerges alongside dry, aromatic vetiver, while Peru balsam adds a smooth resinous warmth. The result is a fresh yet sensual floral woody fragrance, moving from sparkling citrus and Sauvignon into velvety florals, earthy patchouli and warm oud.

When to Wear Xplicit Poppy

Xplicit Poppy works particularly well through spring and autumn, when its combination of crisp freshness, florals and deeper woods feels especially balanced.

The Sauvignon and grapefruit opening gives it enough brightness for daytime wear, while patchouli, oud and Peru balsam provide the depth for evenings. It is particularly interesting for anyone drawn to modern floral fragrances that avoid obvious sweetness in favour of something fresher, earthier and more woody.
