More about Mancera Xplicit Poppy
Xplicit Poppy is a 2026 floral-woody Eau de Parfum from Mancera, the Paris house founded in 2008, composed by Pierre Montale. The house describes it as an imaginary poppy awakening in the crisp morning air, lit by the vibrant freshness of a Sauvignon accord, while osmanthus, patchouli and oud gradually reveal a velvety, sensual trail. The opening pairs the green, wine-like brightness of the Sauvignon accord with sparkling grapefruit. At the heart, poppy meets the apricot-tinged softness of osmanthus and earthy patchouli. The drydown settles on oud, vetiver and Peru balsam for a deep, resinous, woody finish. A unisex scent for those who like a floral that leans dark and textured rather than sweet, it suits cooler days and evenings.
