Lancôme
Poeme
“Mimosa and tuberose in autumn — 1995 powdery floral, overpowering by today's standards.”
One of the defining heady-floral feminine launches of the mid-1990s — Jacques Cavallier Belletrud's 1995 release for Lancôme, an early major work in his career. Narcissus and datura at the top, a mimosa heart, settling on a vanilla base. Fall and winter, day-to-night.
