Nectar of the Gods
Poeme is a yellow and white sweet floral that must have been made to seduce bees and everyone else with its lovely scent. Poeme was composed by legendary perfumer M. Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud and launched in 1995.

Just look at those notes! They look divine, and the perfume smells even more wonderful than the notes look! Poeme is a very romantic fragrance. It is utterly delicious but is not quite gourmand. I have never had bees drawn to my perfume before, but I think Poeme would draw them in from miles around. It smells so sweet and delicious but in a very womanly, sophisticated way. This is what great French perfumery is all about.
I find Poeme to be very feminine, and whilst I do think one could wear it to the office, I think it is better left for more romantic occasions or for those times whence you just want to be alone at home and savour your perfume. I wish Lancôme made matching body products for this perfume. If they made an extrait, I would be over the moon. This is one of those perfumes I could bathe in given the chance! It is gorgeous! If I did not know it was from Lancôme, I would guess it was from the legendary house of Guerlain.
The bottle is both distinctive and attractive albeit difficult to hold and spray. The colour of the packaging and especially of the perfume itself belie the warm, sweet, yellow and white floral fragrance that lay within. It is a masterpiece in my opinion.
I very highly recommend this if you are a lover of yellow and white florals or just florals in general although the yellow and white floral predominate. It is sweet but in the most wonderful sense of the word---not like sugar but more like the freshest, sweetest floral nectar you could ever hope to smell. This is not honey but the most perfect floral nectar that will one day be transformed by royal bees into a honey fit for the Gods's consumption.
This is nectar for the Queen Bee! It does not smell like any other floral perfume I have ever smelt before. This is seduction in a bottle ladies. I would be thrilled if everything in the room around me smelt of Poeme. The fragrance is so delicious, so intoxicating that I believe it would leave bees drunk and weak at the knees with pleasure just as it does me! Positively addictive!
This is the floral nectar of the most beautiful yellow and white florals to have ever existed, the florals from the Garden of Eden, the floral nectar Forms themselves if you will. No contest!! Ten out of ten!! Wowza!!
