Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Poême EDP
A dazzling, honeyed floral that commands attention and evokes vintage glamour. Poême is lush, powdery, and unapologetically opulent-perfect for those who crave a dramatic, poetic signature.
Acquired
Our Verdict - World EDP
A budget take on Guerlain Samsara, that creamy sandalwood-and-jasmine oriental classic. World captures the lush jasmine heart and the warm sandalwood-vanilla drydown, but the Mysore-sandalwood richness reads thinner and more synthetic, and it projects more modestly than the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Poême

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Poême's lush, narcotic florals and honeyed vanilla are best suited to cool or chilly weather, where their richness can bloom without overwhelming. The fragrance feels too opulent and dense for summer heat, but truly shines in fall and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Poême is a statement scent for evenings, formal events, or romantic encounters, where its pronounced projection and sensuality can be fully appreciated. It is generally too bold and attention grabbing for sporty or professional daytime settings.

World

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The creamy sandalwood, vanilla and rich florals make this a warm autumn and winter scent, with enough lift for spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated, sensual character suits evenings, dates and formal occasions more than the office or sport.
