Fragrance
Lancome Poeme EDP, Sample
Poeme by Lancôme is a Floral fragrance for women, introduced in 1995 with the expertise of perfumer Jacques Cavallier. This timeless floral oriental scent opens with a captivating blend of narcissus and datura, their bold, narcotic presence mingling with the juicy sweetness of peach and plum. The crispness of bergamot and mandarin orange adds a lively brightness, while the subtle green notes and black currant lend a fresh, verdant touch that enhances the fragrance's initial allure.
As Poeme evolves, the heart reveals a lush bouquet where the creamy, powdery elegance of mimosa and vanilla flower intertwine with the intoxicating richness of tuberose and ylang-ylang. The delicate sweetness of orange blossom and jasmine forms a soft, floral veil, while freesia and heliotrope contribute a gentle, airy quality. The unexpected hint of leather adds depth and intrigue, harmonising with the romantic essence of rose.
The dry-down introduces a warm, inviting base where the comforting sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean melds with the sensual embrace of amber and musk. Orange blossom persists, adding a soft floral touch, while the grounding presence of cedar provides a subtle, woody finish. Together, these notes create a fragrance that is both elegant and enduring, an olfactory expression of femininity that has stood the test of time.
