I just reviewed Poême by Lancôme, and I can confirm this perfume is about 90% similar. I tested Poême on my skin the other day, and Expression is on my shelf. Smelled both, and honestly, there’s no difference. In fact, I find this one better than the Lancôme version.
Just tried Poême by Lancôme and confirmed it’s 90% identical to Expression, which I have at home. Neither one stands out differently when sniffed, and I even think the Lancôme version edges it out slightly.
I was repulsed by it; it smells too strong, cloying, and overly yellow-floral. It gives me a headache—it’s the typical perfume for older women.
I find it unpleasant, very potent, overly powdery, and too much yellow floral. It gives me a headache; it’s the typical perfume for an older lady.
To me, it smells like an older woman; very cloying, powdery, and slightly sweet. It’s ideal for winter because it’s suffocating; when I smell it, it feels cheap but it lasts.
I didn’t like it; in my opinion, it’s too strong. It smells nice, but it’s not my style.
To me, this fragrance feels super heavy. I picture it on a woman over 40.

It’s one of my favorites; only Amour de Kenzo and Her by Narciso beat it. It’s a soft, cloying floral with a touch of citrus. It just needs to last longer.
This is one of my favorite fragrances; only Amour de Kenzo and Narciso Rodriguez’s Her surpass it. It’s a soft floral, talc-like scent with a touch of citrus. I just wish it were a bit longer-lasting.
I bought it over three years ago. While it’s strong at first, it later turns cloying. I don’t recommend it for summer or any occasion. However, it’s excellent for a formal outing with an elegant dress, especially in cool weather. It’s very similar to Giorgio Beverly Hills but sweeter in the dry down. I consider it elegant and suitable for women 40 and up. I love it, but it’s no longer sold in Puerto Rico.
It reminds me of Givenchy Ysatis, especially the reformulated version. Of course, it doesn’t last as long as Ysatis, but it outlasts many similar catalog perfumes. I like it, but I prefer it after about five minutes. Pleasant!
It’s very similar to Givenchy’s Ysatis, mainly the reformulated version. Of course, it doesn’t last as long as the original, but it will outlast many similar catalog perfumes. I like it, but I prefer it after five minutes. Pleasant!
It’s a chameleon; its performance depends heavily on external factors. The first time I tested it on a hot afternoon, it seemed like a classic, sober floral scent, far from current trends. On a fresh day, the aldehydes stood out, and it turned soapy; it smelled of lilies, narcissus, and jasmine, reminding me of old times in my childhood garden. Although the website says it has fruity notes, I didn’t detect them that day. Weeks later, upon receiving it, it smelled different: the floral accord and aldehydes remained, but now I do detect the underlying fruity notes, which give it a subtle sweetness. In the heart, it becomes a bit cloying and turns into something soft that evokes tenderness and delicacy until it fades. Both its projection and longevity are modest; on me, it lasted about 5 hours, with the last two hours staying close to the skin. I suppose I’ll appreciate it more in cold weather, as I think it allows year-round use. In my opinion, it’s predominantly feminine, timeless, and for daytime use. It’s a tranquil composition, a breath of fresh air with simple, unpretentious elegance and natural beauty; although obviously not for every occasion or taste. I don’t like to assign an age range; I think one just needs to know how to wear it. If a young girl enjoys this type of fragrance, it will add a conservative, romantic scent with a certain tenderness on the right skin. It would be like a modern version of a classic scent that doesn’t follow trends. Suggestion: don’t let the opening aldehydes fool you; it’s not linear, it evolves.
A scent for 45+ :/

I bought it, but I didn’t finish the bottle; I got bored with it. It felt like a perfume for an older woman. Still, it’s a good fragrance.
It’s Flora but with a noticeable creamy, delicious, and youthful vibe. I find it a pleasant, easy-to-wear scent perfect for gifting to any young girl. Ideal for daily use regardless of the weather, it’s versatile for any occasion. It even has a slight lipstick-like aroma.
