About
Poeme by Lancôme is a Floral fragrance for women. Poeme was launched in 1995. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Top notes are Narcissus, Datura, Peach, Plum, Himalayan Poppy, Mandarin Orange, Black Currant, Bergamot and Green Notes; middle notes are Mimosa, Vanilla Flower, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Freesia, Heliotrope, Rose and Leather; base notes are Vanilla, Orange Blossom, Amber, Tonka Bean, Musk and Cedar. Classic floral oriental fragrance launched in 1995. The structure of Poeme is original, does not follow classic structure of top, middle and base notes. The notes of the composition are appearing alternately, like echo. The composition features intoxicating Himalayan blue poppy, white and yellow flowers (mimosa, rose, freesia...) and vanilla flower. Poeme is a poem in the world of perfumes; the contrasts of bitter and sweet create a special sensual aura. The bottle with this miraculous bitter honey is a synthesis of the contrasts – attractive curves and straight lines.

The name of the perfume 'Amarige' is an anagram of the French word 'Mariage.' That is why this fragrance is as intensive as a strong feeling, merry, juicy and unforgettable as a moment of happy mariage. It is so opulent and floral that it seems like its composition includes all the beautiful flowers that exist in the world.The Amarige woman is graceful, playful and charming, a real French woman in love. She radiates joy and gives a happy smile. The top notes are composed of fresh fruit: peach, plum, orange, mandarin, with the sweetness of rose wood and neroli. The floral bouquet, very intense and luscious, is created of mimosa, neroli, tuberose, gardenia and acacia with a gourmand hint of black currant. The warm woody base is composed of musk, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, Tonka bean and cedar. The perfume was created by Dominique Ropion in 1991.
