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.

The refined oriental-floral character with real depth suits dates and formal occasions well, though its richness is a less obvious fit for casual daytime wear.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Poise opens with a sparkling fusion of bergamot and cherry - a bright citrus-fruit combination that gives an alluring, slightly spiced-sweet first impression distinct from Yardley's more straightforwardly fresh openings. The heart intertwines orange blossom, rose and jasmine into a radiant white-floral bouquet, giving the fragrance genuine floral richness and a sense of refined elegance in keeping with the 'Poise' name. The base is the most structured element: patchouli, cedarwood and vetiver combine for a sophisticated, earthy-woody finish that lends the composition an oriental-floral character with real depth, a step up in complexity from Yardley's simpler single-note florals. Described by the brand as capturing 'the essence of joy' and suited to women who appreciate 'refined elegance and glamour,' Poise is positioned as one of the more grown-up, oriental-leaning entries in Yardley's current EDP lineup, alongside its darker sibling Poise Noire.
