Lancôme Poeme in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

Peach and plum open it ripe and juicy, then a rich, creamy flower heart of mimosa and tuberose takes over. It dries down to a soft, powdery, woody bed with a gentle sweetness.

How it wears

The perfume community reports very long wear and strong projection, often filling the space around you. A light hand is wise.

When to wear it

Wearers choose it for autumn evenings and winter nights, for elegant going-out occasions rather than hot weather.

Who it suits

Suits a woman who loves classic, powdery white florals and enjoys a scent with presence. Its traditional style may feel heavy to those who like modern, airy perfumes.
