More about Lancôme Poeme
Poeme by Lancôme is a 1995 women's fragrance by perfumer Jacques Cavallier, a yellow and white floral with powdery, sweet, vanilla and green sides, and Lancôme Poeme is rich from top to base. Its top notes are large and fruity-green: bergamot, black currant, peach, plum, mandarin orange, narcissus, datura, Himalayan poppy and green notes. The heart notes form a full white-floral center of jasmine, tuberose, rose, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, freesia, mimosa, heliotrope and vanilla flower, with a touch of leather. The base notes of amber, cedar, musk, tonka bean and vanilla leave a soft, sweet finish. Wearers choose Poeme mostly for fall and winter, wearing it chiefly after dark, from the evening onward. It is a good pick for a woman who loves rich white-floral scents and wants a generous, romantic fragrance for cool weather and dressed-up occasions, especially if tuberose and vanilla together appeal.
