We had a score to settle...
The perfume and I actually took a whole 28 years to find each other.
I came across Poeme in a magazine in 1996. I still remember the full-page advertising picture with a small sample stuck in the middle. It was a peel-off foil and underneath it was a small amount of the precious fragrance on another foil. I moistened my arm with it and it was all over me.
I sank into a cloud of soft, golden cream. Enveloping and dreamlike. My heart was touched by this fragrance and my soul was in harmony with it.
So I decided to visit the local perfumery in the next few days to buy this wonderful fragrance.
At the perfumery, I also met a saleswoman who immediately took me into her care. I told her about my intention to buy. I was only 18 years old at the time and very shy. This often proved to be my undoing, as it did this time. The resolute lady explained to me that I was far too young for this fragrance and that it wouldn't suit me at all. It was for mature ladies. Instead, she told me that Amarige Eau de Toilette was basically the same, but for younger people.
And what did I do? I didn't resist, didn't disagree and bought a small bottle of Amarige. Yes, it was nice. Also golden, but not as creamy. Just not as wonderfully creamy and just not what I wanted at that moment.
I was really sad that I had failed like that and changed my mind. I remember sitting at home with Amarige and trying to like it anyway. I kind of used it up by using a lot of it so that it would run out quickly. And I felt bad every time because it reminded me of my lack of standing and made me painfully aware of how stupid that had gone.
At some point I forgot about it and from then on I didn't have either fragrance anymore. Now, with Parfumo, I dug into my old passions and tried to remember previous fragrances. That's when I remembered this one.
And !!!! I bought Poeme. At 46, without a sales clerk, but here in the souk. And I'm happy about it. Both about the really wonderful fragrance, which is so beautifully creamy, golden, soft and radiant on me and lasts forever, and about the fact that this purchase has now had a happy ending after 28 years. And I bought Amarige again and like it now too. :-)
Incidentally, I never shopped at the perfumery again.

I've now ordered another one to keep in stock. Hopefully it's the same. But the one I have is strong and round like I remember. It also lasts a long time and has good projection.
