Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall 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.

Best 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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Poême Eau de Parfum opens with a cascade of narcotic Himalayan poppy, narcissus, and the creamy sweetness of peach and datura, quickly unfurling into a golden bouquet of mimosa, tuberose, and ylang-ylang. The heart pulses with powdery heliotrope and glowing orange blossom, shrouded in a buttery, honeyed aura. Vanilla and amber in the base create a plush, enveloping finish, lending the scent its unmistakable richness and vintage character. Poême is an intoxicating, poetic symphony-lush, romantic, and unforgettable.
