Can't figure out why they added the "n" on the end of California. They must have thought it exotic. Sadly the California poppy, the state flower, has no smell. I grow them, or let's say they grow wherever they want to.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187194216909402027.post-86809383250046660312014-09-21T23:54:22.579-07:002014-09-21T23:54:22.579-07:00That's interesting because to me Californian P...That's interesting because to me Californian Poppy is associated with that horrible Brilliantine that men used to wear in their hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187194216909402027.post-87230398783579793542014-09-21T19:20:06.280-07:002014-09-21T19:20:06.280-07:00This trademark probably has lost its appeal as a p...This trademark probably has lost its appeal as a perfume, but there plenty of new product markets where the name might work. On your other blog I really like your approach to finding lost history and buildings. It was one of my interests when I lived in London years ago, and whenever my wife and I visit we stay in Richmond too so I know something about walking along the Thames.

I read a couple of reviews about it, but the reviewers didn't try to analyze the scent. Must have been flowery. I like non-flowery scents such as Shalimar, or Faberge's Woodhue, or perhaps a lemon or vanilla scent. The 1940s advertising poster for Californian Poppy was fun, though, & a clever tie to the prompt picture!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187194216909402027.post-6304813759201113572014-09-20T08:04:15.692-07:002014-09-20T08:04:15.692-07:00Very romantic!!!
