Lancôme: Poême, Eau de Toilette, Spray

I first came across this perfume while out and feeling fed up! I was looking for something to make me smile and spoil myself with. Not having a huge budget at the time I headed to the perfume shop. I was looking for something under £20.00 when I found this 50ml bottle of Poem by Lancome and it was on offer for £15.00! The ingredients.... Poeme is an Oriental, floral fragrance. Vanilla is combined with a blend of many florals including, Rose, white flowers and Mimosa. I was instantly attracted by it. To me it smells mainly of Vanilla and is syrupy sweet and I love heavy Perfumes , i.e Jean Paul Gaultier and Obsession so this was just up ...  Read the complete review

I tried this perfume originally out of pure curiosity. As someone who was always reluctant to spend huge amounts of money on perfume, I was very hesitant to buy. However, months later I found I simply could not resist it anymore! Why? Paying over £25 (as I did) for a perfume for many is normal, but for me is both outrageous & miles out of my budget.

I'd spent about 30 minutes sniffing various different perfumes and, to be honest, all the smells were beginning to merge. Then I came across ...  Read the complete review

Oh, Poeme, I remember well how I first came across this perfume. I had recently split up with my husband and had developed a social life. On a night out I was passing a mixed group of people standing in a pub and noticed this great smell. I could not help myself and had to say:" somewhere here smell absolutely georgeous!" A woman stretched out her arm and let me smell her wrist, this was it. She then said that it was Poeme, this was the first time I had ever heard of it. The following day when I was in town I remembered the smell and went into the local department store, and there it was. It comes in a lovely chunky, clear glass bottle and all you can see is ...  Read the complete review
