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.

This is a really nice fresh mojito like scent, unfortunately it doesn’t last very long. I know that can be the way with this kind of scent but I’m going to need more than 5 minutes performance for me to buy 😒

A beautiful pomelo scent that feels bright and fresh. Unfortunately though like many other citrus perfumes, it doesn't last very long T_T

I love how this smells - but performance on skin is lacking. Would not pay full price for this one.

When I tested it for the first time on paper I was "whoah-ed" because I really like green scents, and the opening didn't not disappoint with the in-your-face blast of minty(not toothpaste-y) freshness, followed by something fruity-fizzy-sweet(yuzu?) I purchased a sample, I tried it now on my skin, and I'm less impressed, tbh. It's not bad, but it's just OK. It reminded me of something else I smelled before, but I couldn't remember(I think you guys are good, because it's the Cartier one) On my skin it smells like a fizzy drink; maybe something you can find in Japan, who knows. The mint isn't as strong compared to when sprayed on paper, unfortunately. It only appears in the beginning, then disappears completely. It doesn't last or project much; £225 is exaggerates imo. A pass.

Beautiful yuzu note! Nothing astringent or harsh here. Pairs well with the bamboo, and the mint must be so well blended that i can barely detect it. I am definitely reminded of my trips to Japan! Reviews have warned about how light this scent is so i expected that. Be prepared to overspray!

Starts out incredible! Top notes are fresh, citrusy, and complex... and then something weird happens in the drydown and it gets very soapy. It just ends so flat and boring, and I grew tired of it as soon as it got to the base notes.

I wouldn't recommend to pay more than $150 USD for this like I did. Very poor duration and sillage. I have to spray it 30 times to make it last up up to 2 hours. Very mediocre to be a niche brand.

Very very fresh citrusy green scent. Invigorating for spring, refreshing for summer. I see it mostly for daytime. Will come back to it in spring.

It opens boring, and the drydown is full of chemical smell. Consider the price i would rather choose JCE, which is better on layers

Nice scent profile. To my nose, it's the bamboo, mint and eucalyptus that make this scent. Yes the grapefruit, yuzu, and bergamot form a nice Citrus melange, but the herbal mint, moist, green slightly woody bamboo, and subdued eucalyptus give the scent it's character. Bamboo is typically a subdued and nuanced note, as it is here, but the eucalyptus goes nowhere near camphorous. The mint reigns, but skewed herbal by the other two notes. As far as listed comparisons go, this is nothing like AdP Fico di Amalfi. I tried Le Jardin de Monsieur Li by Hermès a while back but don't remember it enough. But this Poém de Sagano is a weak-performing water color type profile, typical of the Hermès Le Jardin series. I have ELDO You or Someone Like You in my collection, and off the top of my head, maybe this is like a water color version of that. Sagano's bamboo note does increase its uniqueness however. I think I'd rather have Acqua di Parma do this scent profile though.

Oh this is delicious. I've got to get myself a posh yuzu citrus for the summer - up until now I've only spent a minimal amount on them as they never last. But maybe this summer I can justify splurging on one :) This one is delicious, green fruity (not sweet though) citrus, not getting much of that eucalyptus or mint but let's see how this dries down and lasts. 15 minutes later :( Not much left. It's there but faintly. I love Ella K but I can't justify splurging on a 15 minute wonder. But I will try again in the summer heat to make sure. Another contender not in the database: 003 Bon Perfumer beautiful fresh yuzu violet leaf. Reminds me of this a touch and that one lasts pretty well. More of a floral fresh kick to the yuzu and suitable for spring.

Wow! This is a remarkable scent which simultaneously invigorates and calms your senses. The citrus notes are very fleeting but expertly distilled - you can't help but smile when you first spray this scent. Soon after comes a soft and herbaceous green leafiness (almost a trace of mint in there) characteristic of shiso, as well as a somewhat wet and dewy take on bamboo. These interior notes and the use of matcha lend a more grounding and meditative quality to an otherwise fresh and vibrant fragrance. One word to describe it: effortless

I can’t really add anything that hasn’t already been said. This is a fresh, light, summery and carefree fragrance. It’s green/citrusy, fresh. I’m normally skeptical to everything that has mint in it, but this is really not a problem in this case. I would say the bamboo and (barely noticable) mint, is what makes this fragrance stand out. Sadly, performance is too weak. Short-lived, but beautiful while it lasts.

I got my sample and liked it . Very fresh , good for gym and any exercise activities . But I was very sad it's not last at all. Not worth the money for FB . Chip and chic by Moschino for $30 lasts much better . Btw ChipAndChic is amazing fresh porfume and it's very similar to Sagano but projects in longer and better way .

This is stunning! beautiful yuzu-tea-bamboo combo, the mint is not too perceptible. There is a slight sweet touch that feels aromatic and only a little bit fruity, like the flesh of the citrus. It is almost like your high end/niche version of Elizabeth Arden green tea scents. Very nice. I like this a lot.

This smells exactly like a greenhouse, damp and green. It is combined with a tea-note. Beautiful done but I don't really love it, although I love green fragrances. For example Eau de Lierre (Diptique). On my skin it is gone within an hour. It reminds me a lot of Tea Tonique (Miller Harris).

Disappeared in 5 minutes on me. One of the best citrus green openings though, so disappointing. Would buy a travel size without any hesitation but not full bottle worthy at all with that crazy pricing.

I’m getting a lots of suede accord from this with some greenish notes. It’s super creative fragrance that never try something like this before but I’m not sure if I want to smell like this.
