- Created by Joseph Quartana and Symrise Master Perfumers Emilie Coppermann and David Apel

Symrise Fine Fragrance has won the 2017 Fragrance Foundation Perfume Extraordinaire Award for Quartana Parfums' Poppy Soma. This represents a breath-taking step forward for Parfums Quartana created by Joseph Quartana with Symrise Master Perfumer Emilie Coppermann and David Apel.

Poppy Soma part of the Les Potions Fatales collection explores the treacherous beauty and intriguing lore behind nine of the world's most poisonous flowers. At once tantalizing and perilous, these mortal fleurs have been used to nefarious ends throughout history. Yield to their charms and surrender to a fragrant femme fatale (or homme fatale); seductive on the outside, but ultimately dark, sinister, and dangerous.
