The tone is light and playful. Many people simply send ๐ฉ because they own a poodle or love the breed. Because poodles are linked with dog shows and careful grooming, it also hints at someone posh, fussy or high-maintenance, usually in a teasing and affectionate way. Some people use it after a haircut or a curly blowout to say they look fluffy and styled. In popular culture the poodle is also linked with France, so it sometimes appears next to Paris or French themes. It is softer and more specific than the general dog emojis ๐ and ๐ถ.
Most of the time it is about an actual dog, like a grooming day, a new puppy or a cute pet photo. Next to a selfie it usually means fresh, fluffy hair.
It is not a romantic signal. If someone calls you ๐ฉ, they are probably teasing you for being fancy, fussy or very well groomed.

Usually not. It can tease someone for being prissy or high-maintenance, but most people mean it in a friendly way.
The poodle is widely seen as a French dog in popular culture and is popular there, so people pair ๐ฉ with French or Parisian themes.
