Poppy Soma

A NARCOTIC BLOOM AT THE MOON’S THRESHOLD.
Poppy Soma ignites in red heat: Sichuan pepper, curry leaf, and chili brightening a lunar garden of jasmine, gardenia, rose, and tuberose. Frankincense, labdanum, styrax, and musk gather underneath until the flowers feel lit from within. A perfume for sacred union and the charged luminosity that comes after.
