Try Poppy & Barley at your own pace
Jo Malone London makes Poppy & Barley, a perfume you can get to know here in a small vial. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
There is no pyramid on this page for Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like Poppy & Barley, and we note it. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
The sample is made by hand: Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
For Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing.
We hold no data on who Poppy & Barley is meant for, so we do not label it. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Jo Malone London is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
No note list is on record with us for Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
Jo Malone London writes its perfumes short: every product page gives one top note, one heart note and one base note, and the scents are meant to be combined with each other. The London house sells them as Cologne and as the richer Cologne Intense. Because the idea is to wear two at once, samples make particular sense here: a few 10 ml decants let you test each scent alone and then layered, on your own skin.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
