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.
