Popy Moreni Popy Moreni for women

My first expression is "arrggg...vanilla coffee..." I mean it's really sweet and vanillic on my skin, and I am not into sweet perfumes. However, after a while when it dries down, it gives me a mixture feeling of calming, soothing and quite exciting. I guess vanilla and coffee work well in this case.
The perfume is very rich and thick. When I spray on my skin, it leaves a layer of perfume oil there.
The two main notes from the beginning to the end are still coffee and vanilla. I wish my skin could project patchouli.
Longevity: 5 hrs
Sillage: moderate.
Although I am not a fan of sweet vanilla, I can still wear it for a change.

I tried the EdP only. There is a strong floral note/accord at first, but it doesn't last long. Within an hour or so, the fragrance goes linear. The predominant accord involves coffee, vanilla, and brem (fermented rice), with a touch of patchouli. It's not especially sweet, "boozy," or powdery. It's well blended and natural smelling. If you want a drydown that is similar to Pure Coffee or Pure Malt, but much smoother, this is one to try (if you don't mind the floral opening). It smells nice and lasts a while, but for me there is no "wow factor." If the coffee or brem notes where made stronger, I might want to obtain a bottle, especially at current prices, but instead it went more into a "designer" (rather than niche) direction. A great fragrance if this is what you are seeking (Angel this is not).

UPDATE: I've had a chance to sample the EdT of this, and it opens up with a fairly strong rosy/geranium quality, but then it soon goes into the coffee, vanilla, brem drydown. I think I can smell the fermented rice quality better and sooner than in the EdP, which has a more powdery aspect to it. I think I like the EdT better, but I'll have to give it a full wearing one of these days and update again.

I just realized why I dislike this scent. It's heavy on vanilla. I am not a vanilla girl.

I have an old sample of this that i decided to try today, so i'm not sure the scent is still faithfull to the original.

It reminds me of Irish coffee, when the warm caffee receives a splash of alchool to revive it. It does nor smell of alchool. I don't find it overly sweet and could see a man wearing it.

This is a complex vanilla based oriental, as the list of notes indicates, but that doesn't become apparent until after 30 minutes or so of drydown. Unusual in my experience, but that's what happens. In the opening it reminds me of vanilla candle, but then it morphs into something very satisfying.

Very well-blended so that nothing is very dominant. A very lovely oriental and good i think for those who prefer a non-sweet, non-foody vanilla in their floral orientals.

I do not get any coffee in this, just sharp floral to the max. The dry down is much better, but I'm not willing to wait it out...too much of a headache.

Hi Larali,
How large is your bottle? If it is the maximum of 3.4 oz I might be interested. Let me know!

I just received my small 50ml edp bottle of this. the coffee scent in this perfume to me is more like a sweet coffee/vanilla candy and not brewed coffee like L'or de torrente. I get the coriander and vanilla, the vanilla is sort of carmel like with spicyness in the mix. I also get some sort of floral note but I can not detect which one it is. All in all this IS a very nice scent , unique, but not one to announce your presence but it stays with you all day.

This is coffee. I've tried enough perfume with coffee note with it to be surprised by how this actually resembles coffee, many of those before have let me down (one of them - Bond no 9). None of other perfumes I've tried have captured the way hot, black coffee smells, but this little gem, worth only 24$ does it. And I finally know that...coffee does not work on me. Funny, isn't it? It just doesn't work, it seems too bitter, too foody, I love coffee, but I wouldn't want to smell like this.


BUT! If you're searching for a real coffee-smell, try this, don't try Bond no 9, no need for that, just try this one. You'll be surprised.

I bought the large bottle unsniffed because of Action's review. I love Joy, and coffee, so a coffee perfume sounded perfect! Well, it isn't quite for me. It is kind of androgynous in my opinion. It smells like nighttime and something smoky.... I'm picturing walking around at the Fair at night, looking at the lights and smelling stuff cooking, and people drinking coffee. Not bad, but it's just not quite my style. It's a little heavy and I'm into more girly scents right now. Husband says it smells like a cup of coffee with cream and sugar that has been left out a few days. Anyway, seems like it's been discontinued, so much for that. PM me if you want to trade.

It is really a sweet perfume, but it is also fresh, thanks to geranium which I can detect very clearly. Coriander gives it a hint of bitterness, while coffee is present all the time and also prevents the scent from being too sweet and makes it warm together with the basenotes. So many opposites in this fragrance, but it is really fascinating and charming, very well constructed and not too heavy.

Edit: Thanks to dear gesch I have now both edt and edp version, and the previous review was for edt. While the edt was about geranium and coffee, the edp starts with strong flowers: I recognize orange blossom and heliotrope. I prefer the edt, but the edp is beautiful also, but heavier and sweeter. They differ quite a lot though, at least on my skin. And I am so glad that I had a chance to try both concentrations!

I thought this masterpiece was made by Sophie Labbe, but I read in my vintage books that this one was made by Martin Gras!

This is such a beautiful powdery and sweet scent.I never smelled something quit like this. Im thinking of getting me a new bottle of this great fume


I have bought my self a bottle of this lovely juice.
I loved it then, I love it now

I know which perfume to compare it with now. Even if this seems illogical, to my nose it gives this impression: The Coffee version of Joy Patou. So if you are one of the Joy haters, this may not be your style. But if you adore Joy like I do, this is the more warm version of it.
FANTASTIC!

Ooops... I hate Joy, too much civet!

Thanks for the info, this fragrance has been discontinued and is hard to find so every little helps! I put it on my wish list as I happen to love discontinued orientals from the 90s so this looks right up my alley.

The coffe note is interesting too, I love coffee in fragrances so already have Ilaya, L'Or de Torrente and Trussardi Inside alling having a coffee note in them.

Do you have the EDP or the EDT version?
