Poeme by Lancôme is a big, sweet yellow floral with a lot to say. The opening is a crowd of flowers and fruit: datura, Himalayan poppy and narcissus with peach, plum, black currant, mandarin, bergamot and green notes. Mimosa and vanilla flower lead the heart, surrounded by tuberose, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, jasmine, freesia, heliotrope and rose, with a thread of leather. It settles into musk, cedar, vanilla, amber and tonka bean, powdery and warm. Released in 1995, it is mostly worn by women who enjoy a bold, generous perfume. Voters choose it for autumn and winter evenings and nights out. The longevity vote leans eternal and the sillage vote leans strong, so a light hand pays off. A 3ml decant is a smart way to meet it first.

The community verdict
Poeme opens with peach and plum, moves through mimosa and tuberose, then dries down to musk and vanilla. Longevity divides between long-lasting and exceptionally long-lasting; projection splits between strong and room-filling. It suits elegant evenings out in autumn and nights in winter, but go light if you prefer a softer touch.

The house
More from Lancôme
Lancôme was founded in France in 1935 by Armand Petitjean, who named the house after Lancosme in the Indre valley. From the start the idea was beauty for women, and the perfumes still lean feminine, warm and a little romantic. Vanilla, jasmine, rose and iris run through the range, often with pear or black currant for fruit and a soft cushion of patchouli, sandalwood and musk. La Vie Est Belle is the natural opener, sweet and fruity with a vanilla finish. Miracle is brighter, floral with fresh spice and citrus. Trésor, from 1990, is fruity and powdery, a rounder, older style of floral. Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion are among the perfumers credited on the line. Try a 3ml of two before you pick a bottle.
