Lancome Poeme Eue de Toilette Review

Poeme by Lancome was my first "real" perfume. Every time I see a bottle I still think of the scented advertisement with beautiful Juliette Binoche (appropriately French) that provoked me to buy it.

Poeme might have been just a bit too sophisticated for me then though. It is a rich, womanly perfume, a strong, modern floral-oriental (or "floriental"), but to me it recalls vanilla and honey without directly smelling like either one as well as rich flowers. This perfume is perfect for late fall or winter, when you need a warm, inviting smell to comfort you from the cold. NOT a summer scent by any means.

For the money, this has amazing staying power. A little dab will really do ya. I have lasted entire half-years with the tiniest of sample bottles of this stuff. And speaking of bottles, the one for Poeme is really cute and trapezoid-shaped, although it looks a little dated (nineties) to me, but that may just be from having seen it for more than a decade now.
