Have you worn Expression?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. LuxemFerre

    I just tried Poême by Lancôme and can confirm it’s 90% identical to Expression, which I own at home. Neither makes a difference when sniffed, and I even think the Lancôme version edges it out slightly.

  2. LuxemFerre

    I’ve just reviewed Poême by Lancôme and can confirm this perfume is 90% identical. I tested Poême on my skin the other day, while Expression sits on my shelf; I smelled both and, truth be told, there’s no difference 😅. In fact, I find this one better than the Lancôme version.

  3. Mabebriba

    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.

  4. Mabebriba

    It repulsed me; it smells very strong, cloying and overly yellow-floral. It gives me a headache; it’s the kind of perfume for an older lady.

  5. chilena

    To me, it smells like an older woman, very cloying, like a doll in powder, slightly sweet. Ideal for winter as it’s suffocating; upon smelling it, it feels cheap but lasts.

  6. cielotobias

    I didn’t like it; in my opinion, it’s very strong. It smells nice, but it’s not my style.

  7. In my view, this fragrance is super heavy; I imagine it worn by a woman over 40.

  8. I find this fragrance extremely heavy; I can only imagine it on a woman over 40.

  9. Rossadeena

    One of my favourite fragrances, only surpassed by Amour de Kenzo and Her by Narciso. It’s a soft floral, powdery scent with a touch of citrus. I’d just like them to make it a bit longer-lasting.

    It’s one of my favourites, only surpassed by Amour de Kenzo and Her by Narciso. It’s a soft, cloying floral with a hint of citrus. It just needs to be made longer-lasting.

  11. La boricua

    I bought it over three years ago. Although it’s strong at first, it later becomes cloying. I wouldn’t recommend it for summer or any occasion. It’s excellent with an elegant dress for a formal outing, especially in cool weather. It’s very similar to Giorgio Beverly Hills but sweeter towards the end. I consider it elegant and suitable for women aged 40 and above. I love it, but it’s no longer sold in Puerto Rico.

    It reminds me of Givenchy’s Ysatis, particularly the reformulated version. Of course, it doesn’t last as long as Ysatis; however, it outlasts many similar catalogue perfumes. I like it, but I prefer it after about five minutes. Pleasant!

    It bears a strong resemblance to Ysatis by Givenchy, mainly the reformulated version. Of course, it doesn’t last as long as the original, but it will outlast many similar catalogue perfumes. I like it, but I prefer it after five minutes. Pleasant!

  14. Elim1993

    I bought it, but I never finished the bottle; I grew bored with it. It felt like a scent for an older woman. Still, it’s a good perfume.

  15. Roxana Drama

    Floral but with a creamy, delicious, youthful twist. I find it a pleasant, easy-to-wear fragrance perfect for gifting to any young girl. Ideal for daily use regardless of the weather, suitable for any occasion, and it has a distinct lipstick-like aroma.
