Shrouded Capes and Cobblestone Streets ... A Delicious Musky Haze
I adore Poetica. It's perfect for rainy days, rainy nights. It's a warm, gooey, plummy mix that radiates distinctly and lifts my spirits. The berries and fruit are thick without a doubt, wrapped in a musky haze that scintillates and mesmerizes. This is not a sweet concoction, rather, it's a misty fog of a perfume that will bring you back in time to shrouded capes and cobblestone streets. Woods and praline further entice your senses in a delicious blend quite unlike many of today's offerings. Wearable year-round. I find Poetica to be my rainy-day perfume, it always fits the weather perfectly. It's thick with rich fruits and florals, as the air is when it rains, as if you are walking through a rain-drenched thicket. It lasts well for a number of hours and radiates quite decently. The bottle is chunky and quite pretty, too. It is available on her site, along with many of her other perfumes.
There seems to be an animal-like quality, a darkness to Poetica. Perhaps it's the thickness of it, the darkness of the scent. It makes one feel empowered, sensual, and just delicious. The more I wear it, the more I delight in it.
"All I Wanna Do I Make Love To You" by Heart is the perfect music to listen while wearing Poetica...http://youtu.be/OAfxs0IDeMs.

Creamy Yellow Pseudo-Mimosa
Kat Von D POETICA smells a lot like several yellowish perfumes--with mimosa or mimosa-like notes. It reminds me of Jill Sander Style Pastels SOFT YELLOW, but also Benetton GIALLO and a bit of Guerlain AA TIARE MIMOSA. Also the Henri Bendel mimosa perfume.

Rose, you say? Hmmm... I've smelled a lot of rose perfumes, and this does appear to me to be wafting of roses at all! My best guess is that all of the rest of the notes together conspire to produce a pseudo-mimosa. Assuming that all of these notes have been constructed, it is certainly possible!

POETICA is probably my least favorite of the Kat Von D collection, mainly because it smells like so many other perfumes of which I'm not particularly fond. There is a certain yellow creaminess which some people may like a lot, but to me it's just okay. I would not buy a full bottle (I have the rollerball which I received in the set of four).
