Poeme de Sagano

fabulous! personally this is the kind of fragrance I love because it has an ambient perfume reminescence. I love it because not only it tells a story but it reminds you of time and space which is incredible. The scent is amazing, bamboo, green tea and yuzu (dont smell much of mint or eucaliptus fortunately) . It brings me back straight to the late 90s when as a child we went to our summerhouse ,and since summers werent that hot back then, my mother would use this room spray in the house. It smells like a chilly summer morning. Its almost moving how beautiful it is! like a fresh lemonade as somebody else said. Longevity is over the top! this sticks to your skin and wont let you go. Now into the marketing bit, thats the downside in my opinion. I see the point of this brand, watching interviews of the CEO but I think the female aspect is highlighted too much. I mean I dont think these fragrances are meant only for women, they are all perfectly genderless if not some of the masculine leaning. Packaging is cool, but again a bit too feminine and minimal in a poor way. I wish they would go on a different bottle, more harmonious, rounded or with some cap detail. Then I would justify the price which at this moment is almost prohibitive unfortunately. But scents... Like no others! à la française!

Zesty lemon peel and aquatic freshness. The bitter grapefruit is also amazing... I really loved this scent. Even though it's very short-lived, it makes me so happy for as long as it lasts. The green here is exactly the aquatic green I want and look for. It has a pretty neutral aquatic quality. I'm also picking up a herbal, minty, basil-like note of a kind I haven't encountered before, which I suspect is shiso. There's a slightly fruity side, but this part is green, unripe, like a tart fruit. So it didn't bother me at all, because I don't usually get along well with fruity accords. Even though the scent softens towards the end and the musk side swells, the citrus-green feel never leaves. That's a rare thing for me because scents with this vibe used to end in disappointment. This one didn't. It's spring right now, everything is green and alive... I sprayed it in my hair and walked around tossing it, it was superb!

Poème de Sagano is the embodiment of spring in its most refined and inspiring form. The fragrance feels like the awakening of nature: juicy, refreshing, and light, like a cool breeze filling your lungs with pure air. From the very first notes it unfolds with a playful citrus freshness, reminiscent of sunbeams gliding over morning foliage. The heart of the composition is filled with the greenness of bamboo and delicate floral accents, giving the fragrance a sense of airiness and weightlessness. All of this is wrapped in a subtle veil of musk and woody notes, which add depth without weighing it down. This is more than just a fragrance—it’s a mood: a feeling of freedom, lightness, and femininity. It’s like a walk through a blooming garden on an early spring morning when nature awakens and the world around you is filled with purity and freshness.

love, my jam. i knew the moment i smelled this that i got a menthol effect—here we go, it actually does have mint, and it's not toothpasty, nor is it sugary like in saint julep. my kind of scent: it’s floral and green but also woodsy and dusty. it encompasses a “zen” imagery for me, relaxing, icy yet warm, very fresh without being masculine or overly citrusy (even though there's citrus and citrusy leaves present). smells like absurdly overpriced, top-quality hotel soap or personal care supply. idk why, but i think it smells like the colour green. a beauty. also, i get some white floral, like jasmine or idk, gardenia? smells like the baby of hermès x aēsop.

The vibe it gives is juicy lemonade sprinkled with fresh mint and ice cubes made of frozen green tea. It's stunning. Green, citrusy, herbaceous, slightly bitter and very very very aromatic. Mint and bamboo combination is so catchy. I had to go back to resample it and ended up getting a bottle. It's a summer unisex fragrance done right. Longevity in the mildly ht weather is way more pronounced than during heat waves. It lasts on me for an entire day if the temps don't cross the 25 celsius mark. I've vaulted it now till the spring but I occasionally spray it after shower, just to let the juicy aromatic punch knock me me out of the pre-winter glooms.

To my nose, it opens with the most authentic, juicy grapefruit — bright yet delicate. Then the real mint plant emerges; I grow mint in my garden, and this is nothing like the synthetic, bubble‐gummy version so often encountered. Instead, it evokes a freshly brewed tea made with sprigs of mint, which lingers for hours: soothing, refined, and quietly uplifting. It feels both delicate and exquisite — a fragrance that honours nature’s beauty with grace. To me, it perfectly illustrates why Sonia Constant needed to create her own line: here, she reveals the wonders she is truly capable of.

Oh how I love this! 😍 I got a decant in an attempt to save myself some money in case this didn’t live up to my expectations.. Now I need that FB. This is so fresh, green, and JUICY. I will say it is more fleeting than I wish it were, but it is so perfect in its way, I can’t fault it. I would say it lasts ~3-4hrs at most before becoming nearly imperceptible. Refreshing... If an idyllic breathe of fresh air were a fragrance, this would be it. Anna’s review below did a great job of capturing the feel of Poeme de Sagano. 🌿🎍

I absolutely love this scent, it's green and captivating, peaceful and slightly herbaceous. It feels like a walking meditation. There is a gorgeous green tea note to my nose that adds a lovely depth. My only problem is that it just doesn't last. I get 45-60 mins out of this before it's just gone. Not fade to skin scent, gone. I don't get any soft or lasting musks. I've tried spraying on clothes or hair to help longevity but it doesn't make it more than 2 hours.

This is a really beautiful spring fragrance. The yuzu is intense and juicy but it veers away from the cat pee and B.O side of sour and into herbal mintiness and a kind of celery-ish coriander note. Usually this would scream Jean Claude Elena at me but this is much less restrained and a bit wilder. It's fresh with no sweetness. Green, intense and vegetal. I love it. Don't expect monster projection and sillage and you'll find a lot to love...

Fresh & Uplifting This is one of my favorites for the summer heat, it's so refreshing! It opens with a bright citrus, I really get the Grapefruit at the top. The citrus then softens into a green, herbaceous scent from the Bamboo, Eucalyptus and Matcha Tea. Very unisex. The only downside is the longevity, as with most fresh perfumes, it last on me about 3 hours, then turns into a soft white musk. I don't mind reapplying, because I love it!

Got a sample. First note in the face-- an unripe tangerine. Instantly enchanted. Goes down with a cucumber and mint layering with a tea undertone, citrus on top. Obsessed. Feels like I'm walking into a neglected greenhouse, haggling with the owner for that last, wilting orchid, except he refuses to let it go-- it was his father's. I keep sniffing my arm, and I can't stop. Shame it doesn't last long.

This is stunning!! I'm not usually one to try testers out, but this got sent to me with Wanderlust and it's absolutely gorgeous, so fresh (again not my usual), this is so on my next purchase. I shall probably leave a more detailed update on here once I purchase it, but this will do for now, it's sublime.

Bamboo, citrus and mint. Such a killer combo. The bamboo here is realistic and beautiful. The citrus is juicy and fresh but does not dominate. The mint subtly adds coolness to the whole composition. I am determined to get a FB of this. I need to save up some money first though.

About 20 minutes into the first spray, a horse trots in. To me, it’s a pro, cause I love animalic notes and it balances the greens gracefully, but... how? No idea what creates this effect. It’s weird and I want it. The performance on skin is good (3+ hours at least)

This scent is genius. So fresh and clear and green and somewhat dry... like I was smell geranium leaves. Reminds me of Rouge Bunny Rouge Lilt. I adore this scent. But it lasts about 30 minutes... What a shame!

This is a fresh citrusy bamboo scent. The yuzu is so nice with bamboo and I love it so much. I don't smell any mint and eucalyptus is quite obvious at the dry down.

Absolutely gorgeous scent that disappears within minutes.

This is the most photorealistic bamboo scent I've ever smelled—it puts Killian's Bamboo Harmony to shame. If you want to live out your zhutong fan (bamboo steamed rice) fantasy, this one's for you (minus the savory aspects). The woody aroma of the bamboo is spot on, but on my skin, it stands out like a solinote which makes me wish that there was a little bit more of a balance between the bamboo and the citruses. I do not get any mint at all, and the citrus is pretty nondescript. I can see why some people aren't into it—the prominent bamboo packs a heady punch similar to leather/rubber notes. But, this is a super unique juice for green scent lovers.

Well, this perfume grew on me. The first time I smelled it, I just thought boring CITRUS. But after some time, I've grown to like this. It is a complex and beautiful scent that is bright and invigorating. It smells like peeling open a fresh pomelo fruit in my opinion - juicy, sweet, citrusy in a specific pomelo-way, and a little bitter. It smells sweeter on my skin than on my clothes, and it lasts but about an hour on my skin (versus ~2-3 hours on my clothes). Luckily, I do like the way it smells on my clothes more than directly on my skin. For $295 a bottle, I'm not sure it will be a regular purchase.

Surprisingly, this blend was the ones behind me getting back to retest this house blends 3 days ago although i'm never into that fresh citrus blends! but this is just mesmerizing some how! It's a fresh slightly soured bamboo which is made by the yuzu. Although mint in perfumes is one of the worse notes that i don't like but in here it is harshly rubbed with lime, & eucalyptus which kept it minimal in an amusing way. It's greenish spring to summer blend. Amusing.
