Poppy & Barley, composed by Mathilde Bijaoui for Jo Malone London in 2019, is a soft, musky scent with a cereal-like warmth, worn by anyone. Musk is noticed by everyone, and about half of wearers also describe it as sweet, green and floral.

Fig and blackcurrant open it, the fruit green and slightly tart, with violet adding a powdery sweetness. The heart is the unusual part: poppy, a light and airy floral note, set against wheat and powdery notes, so it smells of a summer field rather than a flower shop. The base continues the harvest theme with barley and bran, which give a dry, nutty, faintly toasty comfort, wrapped in white musk for a clean, skin-like finish.

Most people report moderate longevity, with a minority getting longer wear, and sillage is moderate to intimate. It is voted mainly for spring and summer and strongly for daytime. It suits anyone who likes gentle, musky scents with a natural, grainy softness.
