What does Poésie smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters place it in the evening and night out, with daily wear and the office further behind.
It opens with bergamot, osmanthus, orange blossom and peach, where the floral side is softened by fruit. The heart moves to honeysuckle, jasmine, tuberose and rose. In the base, patchouli, amber, vanilla and sandalwood set a sweet, woody ground. Hermès 24, Faubourg and Chloé Chloé have a close profile.
