History of creation
Many well-known companies release a special product for their own anniversary. It, as a rule, contains all the best practices of the manufacturer. This "gift to oneself" is issued by a limited party. But whatever the jubilee product - perfume or wine - it has distinctive features. The first of them is recognition. Anyone who tries this product will immediately say that it belongs to one or another manufacturer. And the second feature is exclusivity. In such a product, all the best that has already been accumulated by the company is collected. That is exactly what the spirits of “Lank Poem” were conceived. They were created for the sixtieth anniversary of the Lancome fashion house. Famous French perfumer Jacques Cavallier worked on a festive fragrance composition. The original bottle was designed by designer Fabian Baron. Spirits saw the light in 1995. Floral sensual aroma with a distinctive oriental orientation immediately won the hearts of admirers of the creative work of the fashion house. When the limited batch was sold out, the firm repeated the release. Put on the conveyor, the perfume differs from the anniversary issue only in a lighter box (the former was the color of pure gold), the rest of the fragrance remained exactly the same. It is the smell of love confession and temptation. One drop - and you are as if spinning in a dance. And the atmosphere of the holiday will not leave you for long.
Bottle
Of course, when you go to the perfume shop, this elegant original bottle will immediately attract attention. Designed by designer Fabian Baron, the bottle resembles a stylized bust of a woman pulled into a corset of a ball gown. Smooth glass edges reflect light. Water seems to flow through the bottle. And inside is a piece of the sun. She seemed to be asking to go outside in order to bring joy and elevation of the holiday into this everyday world. This is probably why the cap of the bottle is stylized as a corkscrew handle. One would like to uncork the perfumes of the “Lank Poem” in order to breathe in the first notes of the fragrance. But tolerate a little more. Let's take a closer look at the bottle. I do not want to let him out of my hands. This is perfection itself. Even the miniature bottle is designed to the smallest detail. Already looking at the bottle, you understand that these perfumes are not for every day. They are created for the ball ... or for a special state of mind. Inside is a golden fluid, like the quintessence of sunlight. The bottle is not overloaded with inscriptions. Above is the name of the perfume, below is the company that produced it and the “home port”, Paris. Conventional perfume "Poem" from "Lank" equipped with a spray. The vintage series is made in the classic spirit (without spray). The color of such perfumes is darker, reminiscent of aged cognac.
"Lankom Poem": a description of the perfume pyramid
Let's remove the cap now and plunge into this fabulous fragrance. The creator of the perfume, Jacques Cavallier, relates it to sensual, oriental scents. The list of components of the aromatic composition of the components is simply huge. Perfume begins to sound powerful already from the first notes of the overture. It is a complex and multifaceted fragrance. In the upper notes, against the background of the deep bass of blackcurrant, we hear juicy tangerine splashes complemented by sweet peach and plum. But this overture is by no means fruity. Sweetness is refreshed by green notes of herbs in combination with a gentle daffodil and bergamot color. But this seemed to the manufacturer a little. After all, the "Poem" is an anniversary, festive perfume. Perfume from the top notes makes your head feel sweet with dope and blue Himalayan poppy. As powerful as the overture, the main melody of the aromatic composition is revealed and captured. Despite the wealth of components, this is not a discord. Everything is built around the main component - languid and elegant tuberose. The rest of the bouquet is only intended to emphasize one or another quality of the multifaceted nature of the Queen of Flowers. Its splendor is emphasized by the aroma of tea rose. The power of passion is framed by a heliotrope and jasmine. Tenderness and femininity emphasize freesia and mimosa. The aroma of innocence is achieved by introducing orange blossom into the bouquet. I must say that the perfume sounds pretty vintage. The aroma of high-quality leather is felt in the heart of the composition. Exotic ylang-ylang and the color of sweet vanilla give spirits a touch of orientality. The bewitching fleur of the base will not leave anyone indifferent. A soft, warm train is woven from the finest threads of vanilla, musk, ambergris, tonka bean. The base notes are refreshed with orange color, and cedar gives a hint of chypre.
Reviews of perfume
And how do ordinary users hear the pyramid of aromas? The spirits of “Lank Poem” are revealed to them from the heady dope and the languid sound of poppy. This is probably why many reviews call this composition "opium." Fruit notes for laymen are almost inaudible. Unless blackcurrant gives out a characteristic sound. All users like the "heart" of the perfume composition. The subtle aroma of tuberose is expertly woven into a rich floral bouquet. Seductive mimosa, bright and delicate freesia, fragrant white jasmine seem to create a precious frame for an invaluable masterpiece. Many users find in the heart and daffodil. But his narcissistic beauty competes with the aroma of tea rose. The peak of the composition is vanilla. Careless, endlessly sweet, she lures into her arms and no longer lets out. She gives motherly warmth and femininity to the whole composition. A long train, assure reviews, is generously seasoned with oriental notes. Against the background of the same vanilla are sandalwood, musk and ambergris. In general, users characterize the perfume as oriental, sweet, floral.
To whom the "Poem" from "Lankom" is dedicated
Poeme Lancome sounds like an ode to a bright and relaxed woman. She is independent, emotional. If she craves something, she will get what she wants at all costs. This woman makes a lasting impression on others. At the same time, behind her unbridled fervor lies a thinly sensing soul, woven from the aromas of flowers. The golden edges of the perfume speak of passion and lust, the orientality of the composition keeps these feelings a secret, and French chic gives the mistress of the Parisian charm and charm. It is no coincidence that Juliette Binoche became the “face” of the “Poem”. It is for a woman like her that this ode is written with a pen of love. Perhaps, this perfumed water will look too pretentiously on a teenage girl. Perfumes are more suitable for women after twenty-five. Those who know how to curb the fire of their hearts and surrender to them when they deem it permissible. The fragrance was created for modern beauties, emancipated, impudent, standing above the requirements of social standards of decency. Such a woman does not wait for a man to pay attention to her. She lasso him with the scent of mystery and temptation. And he, subdued, peacefully falls asleep in her maternal vanilla embrace. This aroma of femininity allows you to make Eau de Parfum (“Lankom”) perfumed water as a present for more mature ladies.
Who is Poeme written for by users
"Poem" is not suitable for young and naive simpletons. Also, the smell will be a little inappropriate for female students. These perfumes are too complicated for them. Perfume is also not suitable for a business woman, purposeful and emancipated. Users see the perfect bearer of the fragrance as a woman in the prime of her beauty. She is not fussy, she seems modest. But her very femininity has magnetic power and the ability to possess hearts and attract eyes. But it also has the energy of the sun, life-giving and at the same time calming. Many users agreed that they see the visual image of these spirits in the main character of Sandro Botticelli's "Spring". And some believe that the “face” of the fragrance is a little sensual and forever young Isabelle Adjani.
What perfume lovers is this perfume suitable for? Retro? Of course, yes. The thoughtfulness and completeness of the composition, vanilla and amber plume evoke memories of the spirits of our grandmothers. But there is in the aromatic composition and much from the classics. This is a timeless model from which more than one generation of perfumers will draw inspiration. In no case can perfumes be called old-fashioned. They are very relevant and suitable for modern women. But who may not like the fragrance is the connoisseurs of aquatic cool smells.
When and with what to wear aroma
Regarding the time of year suitable for these spirits, the opinions of users were divided. Some say that the warm vanilla soaked in “Poem” is more suitable for the cold season. Others argue that she is good at a time when the air smells of leaves in the air. Perfumes of the “Lank Poem” are fragrant not only with vanilla, but also with mimosa. This plant with delicate fluffy yellow flowers is associated with the holiday of March 8. And finally, there is an opinion that perfume, the color of which is as if woven from sunlight, is most suitable for summer. A floral bouquet looks most harmonious at this time.
The same disagreement among consumers is also observed in the question of what time of day it is better to wear this perfume. Most tend to use evening perfume. Too luxurious to wear to work. Of course, it’s a pity to use such a perfume for jeans and sweaters. However, if you accept the version about the summer use of this fragrance, then it really goes to light sundresses and chiffon dresses. Vanilla does not strangle in any way. She just gives the whole composition a bewitching sweetness. In hot weather, users assure, divine tuberose enters the foreground in the bordering of its satellite colors.
Concentrations and Volumes
Initially, the "Poem" was presented as a women's eau de parfum. But since these perfumes were successful, the Lankom fashion house decided to launch the same fragrance in other concentrations on the market. This is, first of all, Eau de Toilette “Colony Poem by Lancom Paris”. There is also a vintage series with a more intense and masterly balanced aroma. Samples of this issue are sold in small bottles of 7.5 and 15 milliliters. And although Vintage Lancome Paris Poeme is also positioned as “O de Perfume”, its miniature bottles have a screw cap. Conventional perfume with a spray have a lighter shade of yellow. The liquid of the vintage series is darker, the color of cognac. Eau de Parfum in the form of a spray is available in several volumes. These are bottles in 30, 50 and 100 milliliters. "Poem" in the concentration of toilet water is available in a miniature sampler of 5 ml, as well as in bottles of 30 and 50 ml. But to find such a product is quite difficult, as well as samples from the vintage series.
Perfume "Poem Lankom": price
The cost of perfume, to put it mildly, is not low. But on the other hand, this is not a unisex toilet water for every day under casual clothes. If you really buy the "Poem", then only for special occasions. With all the maximum discounts, this perfume can be purchased at a price of 2800 rubles for 30 milliliters. And as a standard, these perfumes are in perfume stores for 3260 rubles for the same volume. A bottle of 50 milliliters can be purchased for 4050 rubles, and a volume of 100 ml - for 5770 rubles. Surprising is the huge price difference between eau de parfum and vintage perfumes. So, a tiny beaker with a volume of 7.5 milliliters costs 10,600 rubles. And at the same time, this product is difficult to find in Russian stores. A bottle twice as much costs as much as 21,470 rubles. Aroma is also highly regarded in duty-free shops. The 100-milliliter bottle of “Poem” from “Lankom” costs from 94 euros there.
Reviews on the stability of the fragrance and its other qualities
Many users, having entered a perfumery store, immediately begin to test this fragrance, because they have heard about it. The high price of perfume does not scare them away. But toilet water is quite difficult to see in our distribution network. Before buying, say reviews, you should wear this perfume on yourself, try it on. It opens gradually. At first, he simply conquers the heart with fresh notes, where against the background of fruits (mainly blackcurrant) juicy citruses sparkle with sparkles and fragrant white flowers. But throughout the day, the facets of the fragrance flicker endlessly, shimmer. That comes to the fore of mimosa, which soon gives way to aristocratic tuberose. And at the end, sweet vanilla begins to sound, which no longer lets you go. But, reviews say, this component never goes beyond the bounds of decency. Vanilla always remains sweet, restrained. She is like May honey with a slightly perceptible bitterness. Not sugary, but sweetish. Indoors, she does not strangle others, but pleasantly tickles her nostrils. The smell of perfume is so original and at the same time classic that it can be recognized in the crowd of others. And in our age of unisex, it’s so nice to have women's perfumes! Despite its concentration of eau de parfum, the “Poem” is highly resistant. She sticks to her skin all day. Even better, according to consumers, she gets along on natural fabrics, furs and haberdashery.
