middle notes
base notes
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 nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Cavallier.

My friend wears this..I love the complexity of it, it smells delicious, and there is a hint of incense, but it is very bold/strong, so I don't know if I would wear it.

I so wanted to like and wear Pome when it came out... just not recently ;-)
I did like it then, because it was intensely floral, intoxicating, captivating and strange! It's what I call a "total floral". Unfortunetely is very very very sweet, too much and it contains something that gives me instant headache and nausea. I couldn't wear it without feeling pain in my head, especially on forehead. The simply truth is that Poeme is deeply cloying, no matter if good-smelling.

As the name suggests, Poeme always reminds me of classic love poetry. So beautiful and romantic. It is a scent that will make you feel loved and beautiful at the same time.
Poeme has a classical, strong, peculiar and delightfully pleasant fragrance. It is magical and has the ability to enhance your mood. Like myself, everytime I wear it, I'll simply feel like I am in love.
If you are looking for something unique and a signature scent, try this perfume. I assure you that you will get a lot of compliments every time you wear it.
I love you, Poeme

what i don't like about lancome perfumes is that the only person who can actually notice it is the person who wears it...but only for maximum an hour...afterwards, not even that person will be able to smell anything. they are way to weak for my tastes and for their prices...

Long lasting, excellent sillage and strong. A little goes a long way, so be cautious not to over-indulge with this juice.
As with most strong perfume, with the right dose, it will reveals its full splendor. Over doing it will end up choking as the consequence though.
Since perfumes has all to do with personal taste, where it is no exception for Poem, thus, is whether you loved it, liked it, just ok or simply can't stand it.
It was launched around the same time as Lauder's Pleasures and today, I personally felt that Poem has more character than Pleaures despite Pleasure has a higher ratings of popularity where both are equally unique on its own right.

At first sniff and for sometime thereafter all, and I mean ALL, I got from Poeme was grape jelly. Not currant, nut plum, not apricot but pure concord grape steeped in sugar and pectin.
Earlier this evening I reviewed Midnight Fantasy and said I thought the florals helped cut the sweetness. Poeme has florals galore but the orange blossom and Ylang keep the composition sweet and dark. The cedar in this one doesn't stand a chance.
A very deep, opaque and crepuscular "fruity floral" suitable for Rappaccini's daughter, but not for me.

If you're in love, this is for you. Sweet floral oriental, so romantic! Very long lasting, unique smell.

I fell in love with this scent yesterday. So gorgeous, deep and intoxicating… It is not only a poem; it’s a song of light and darkness, of sunny days and hot nights, of deep love and flirty affair. I love dualistic perfumes and Poeme is one of them. It can enjoy you with its warm sweetness but also can fatally seduce you with its deep bitterness. And this happens at the same time…
03/17/09 02:25:42
it is very femminine fragrance.everyone around you can notice it.i believe that is very romantic!
03/14/09 16:32:26
i had it long time ago. it is in still my memories (in a good way) :)
02/28/09 02:55:23
sweet and floral,if you like florals then test it,is really good,I wear it in spring...
02/25/09 14:46:36
Love Poeme Perfume. I wish Lancome would bring back the Poeme Powder. JackGA
02/25/09 13:35:40
if you know the smell, you recognise it anywhere. it's my favorite: a floral, somewhat woody, spicy, incencecy candy though not to sweet to be annoying
01/24/09 08:51:57
For me Poeme smells of the rose blossoms that are sinking in fresh honey. It is sharp, strong, rich, very feminine and romantic at the same time. A must try for those who love honey scent in fragrances.
01/20/09 03:37:16
I had poeme when i was at 2nd class in university, it smells too sweety for me now:(When i was a young college girl it smelled wonderful to me. In years it begins to being too much sugary:(
It will be a really good choice for teen girls i think!...

I want this perfume so much I even dream about it! The thing is, I've never even smelt the bleedin' thing before! I just have a gut feeling that I'll love it. It has a lot of my favourite smells in it, like; jasmine, mimosa, freesia, ylang-ylang, musk, amber etc. So I just know it's made for me, I just have to buy it!
01/08/09 14:21:48

Personally for me, this fragrance is too feminine and the vanilla is very nauseating. I feel that it's a dated fragrance, my aunt would love this.
12/28/08 06:47:11
I love this fragrance. It's longlasting not too sweet but elegant and ladylike. Just such a treat to wear and will please the man in your life. I guarantee it will please you and everyone around you.
12/12/08 17:20:09
This was (another) gift from my mother-in-law, and I fell in love with it right off the bat. It has a lovely clear sweetness to it, with powdery soft touches of woods and spice that make it just irresistible to me. >edit< I have a small vial of the pure perfume, also, and yesterday between spraying the EDP and using the Perfume for touch-ups, I discovered just HOW long the scent can last. I put on a last spray at about 6 p.m. Friday evening and all the way through Saturday and well into Sunday I could STILL smell the scent on my wrist - a sweet, honeyed sandalwood scent. I am VERY impressed with the staying power of this perfume! >/edit< I have only about 1/2 bottle left, and that's mainly because I've been trying to stretch it out! I really like this one!
12/12/08 17:04:44
Modern classic I say. Its sophisticated and yet flirty. I think its warm, rich, deep and sumptuous scent. Convinced my mother to buy this scent so I could steal it! She doesn't usually like floral scents but i think its tart enough to win her over. Beautiful bottle to enclose a beautiful perfume.
12/05/08 23:09:32
Thanks to the generosity of Fragrantica I am enjoying this fine fragrance. The name suits it well as the the notes are evenly executed into three versus with the repetition on the scent of the orange.The language of flowers is very well represented in a composition that characterizes a feminine flavor with it's sweetness and floral attitude. The touch of tonka bean along with the flow of warm amber brings forth a vivid imagination to the wearer.The discreet drama portrayed in Poeme with it's unpretentious scent is pure liquid luxury. A fragrance worth owning.
11/23/08 10:51:43
Leesee, what an intereseting opinion :))
For me Poeme is full of honey from start to drydown :))And not for very young girls. It's so funny how different noses accept the same fragrance differently.

Lancome's Poeme is a rosy, fruity, confectionary fragrance that seems to be aimed toward the 25 and under crowd. The scent has good sillage (a spray or two will last one nicely for hours), and a lovely, powdery drydown. A word of caution is in order though: the drydown does tend to emphasize the vanilla sugar notes, so some may find it a bit cloying. Still, while Poeme is not in the same league as heavy-hitters like Magie and Tresor, it is nonetheless a fun, frilly, and ultimately harmless scent with far more pluses than minuses on its scorecard.
11/12/08 22:42:57
I try this perfume today and I was surprise by the sweetness of this lasting fragrance. Very good for daily time. It's definitively one of my favorite's classic fragnance and I feel very feminine and sensual with it.
11/08/08 15:03:03
There is something "exciting" in this fragrance - it gives me a burst of joyful energy. Ahh... I think it's the peach. I had exactly the same reaction to Dolce & Gabbanna's "The One", and discovered it was the peach... (And I ended up getting it :) ) But Poeme has a dry-down which I think is quite ordinary.
I will have to try it again - to do it justice.

Simlpy words: Clasic, and one of the favorites from lancome. I love this parfum, specialy when i m feeling relax and esasy like a sunday morning.
11/06/08 07:20:45
This is by far one of my favorites. It's so romantic, deep and mysterious. It's sweet but has some spice to it and very long lasting. I just bought my second bottle and I always get the big one since I use it so much.
11/06/08 06:54:36
I love this perfume! gives me a romantic, feminine mood.. it is a very sweet scent, but not a girlie and cheap one.. feels like you smell a honey jar, I also feel mimosa notes very strong.. soo lovely..
10/24/08 10:50:47
Strong and much sweeter than Tresor. I really like this perfume, It's so intoxicating delicious. This is on my list of Must have and Must never run out. You get your moneys worth with this one, as just a little goes a long way. I've had so many compliments when I wear it. You know you have a good perfume when everyone's asking 'what you wearing?'
10/07/08 06:46:19
One of my first perfumes. Tuberose, vanilla and rose are three scents that are very pretty and undeniably presents in this fragrance...
it's feminine and delightful.

Poeme perfume is on the heavier side, which is nothing bad in itself. The smell is not too bad and it lasts, but it is not the perfume I would like to buy
09/27/08 13:06:08
I think it's just a bit too much of everything. After about 8 hours, when the smell is just some sort of a whisper of all the notes left on my skin, I really like it...
09/27/08 12:25:37
Just love it: some say, it's a better version of SL's Fleur d'Oranger. There's nothing funny in this scent, nothing ironic, it's more like a red colored migraine. The tuberose is nuisance like a impulse, brain wave, that makes people writing poems. For me - masterpiece.
09/22/08 12:39:23
I do think that Poeme have something common with Poison, they both are strong, thick "florals" and full of everything. I do like Poison better, but Poeme isn't bad either.
09/14/08 12:44:44
My mother uses it for centuries. When I was a girl I once sprayed it on me and went out to school.
On my way home I was chased by a giant hornet that seemed to think it was tasty.
Well, not for me it isn't.

Poem... but heavy and thick. In this fragrance classified as flower, probably grow Flowers of Bad... For me Poeme Lancome's is definitively too hard and too stuffy.
09/13/08 06:33:34
I like this perfume... one of my first perfumes, one of my first choices!
Verry nice and long lasting!
I agree with solocha, it smells good only after a longer while...
