It’s not the most well loved of Lancome fragrances, and small wonder at that. For all the thick, cozy warmth, it’s nevertheless so strong that it hits some folks like a bitchslap in a mitten. Poeme’s composition is so chock full o’ notes that it reminds me of how Givenchy’s Amarige can be received: No two people will notice the exact same notes at any one time. On me, Poeme seems front-loaded with peach and tuberose, with a distinctly smokey undertone of woody amber and what I keep imagining is “violet leaf.” My nose lies to me, because I think my “violet leaf” is supposed to “vetiver.” I like my husband’s impression of Poeme best; When asked his opinion of it on my wrist, he shook his head ruefully and said, “That is what you wear to crush the competition in a room.” Ha! And maybe that’s why I like it. Screw the girl power of the 90s, give me some woman power.” More here.” [...] [...] In the end, this review of Poême could have come from me for I so relate to it: “I’ve recently rediscovered this 1995 release by perfumer Jacques Cavallier (via Now Smell This) and it’s just as sumptuous as I’d remembered it.

While I enjoy it, there is something overly heady about it, and not in a good way. (I adore Coco and the original Fendi, both heady). I am still trying to let it have its way with me because the husband likes it.

I love Poeme too, Coco Mademoiselle, and Michael by Michael Kors at the present time. I do not know what part of the fragrances I love the best, but I think they must all include, a white lily base. I also like the perfume to last a whole day. Over the years since Shalom, were Cinnabar, White Linen, Private Collection, and the "cheapie" Red Door and I love Youth Dew on others......... Amarige to me smells like old dog poop, so that is not a fave........... I am intrigued by the look of the bottle and the description of "Agent Provocateur", will buy a bottle and let you know what I think.

I've really missed your writing! You imply that Theorema is sold outside the U.S.? *perks ears* Will have to hunt it down. #8 made me laugh out loud. I’ve really missed your writing!

I'm a child of the late 70's and I've had a rebirth of interest in fragrances from that era also. Niki de Saint Phalle, Balmain's Iviore, and anything loudly musky. I find it interesting that I'm still attracted to the same perfumes I loved those many years ago. It's definitely a trip back in time for me, and a reassurance that I'm still basically the same soul I was. But then again...I'm always looking forward to the best next thing, of which there are plenty! (Even though now I can almost afford the old stuff, and have to be happy with tiny amounts of the current treasures.) Love your list (and honestly, anything you write.)

Though I don't wear it, I wish I was surrounded by Katie clones who did. Sometimes, Le Maroc scratches an indolic itch in a way no other scent can manage.
