by Lancôme
Poème by Lancôme is a rich, opulent floral-amber fragrance centered around warm, golden-hued floral notes like mimosa, narcissus, and jasmine, layered with honeyed sweetness, vanilla, and a subtle aromatic depth. It opens with a luminous blend of citrus, black currant, and datura, followed by an intense, swirling bouquet of white flowers—freesia, heliotrope, ylang-ylang—set against a resinous, meditative base of vanilla, tonka, and musk. The signature structure feels architectural: powerful and impactful yet intricately balanced. The perfume lingers for hours, delivering a generous, well-defined trail from the outset. It’s most compelling in colder months—autumn and winter—where its warmth and depth shine. It’s ideal for evening wear, especially when you want to make a statement with elegance and presence. The original and modern formulations are consistent in their character, and while some note bitterness or metallic overtones, the core experience remains largely unchanged. Expect a lush, radiant, and deeply feminine aroma that feels timeless and unforgettable.
