I have also written a review of this perfume on another site (as I notice some of you will know!), but I wasn't sure whether I could post the review in two different places so for now I will write it again from scratch :-) Hopefully this one will be more detailed too. Try... buy? It takes me ages to decide whether to buy something that will empty my wallet of more than £20.

I bought the perfume for £35. I don't know if the price has changed recently, but I think £35 is excellent for a perfume of this standard. I seriously recommend that you should ... more

Lancome’s Poeme (apart from being distinguished by an advertising campaign starring the talented and beautiful Juliette Binoche), is one of the loveliest perfumes I have ever used. The scent itself is quite difficult to pin down – after in-depth research among friends and family, the closest description we could find was floral with a tiny hint of spice. It is intriguing and mysterious in a way that purely floral or fruity scents are not, suggesting perhaps the smell of a church full of incense and flowers, without being at all overpowering. Its elusiveness means that it projects no definite ... more
