Jewel of the day: Lancome Poeme Promotional Bracelet

This was a gift with purchase item when Lancome’s fragrance Poeme was first released in 1995. I had no real interest in the perfume, though I really wanted this bracelet. But common sense overtook me – a rare and shocking event, believe me.

Some years later, I was in a vintage shop when I spied this bracelet in a sale tray – priced at all of $5. Needless to say, it came home with me, where it has resided happily ever since. Well, I can’t really speak for the bracelet, but I am very happy with it. It is solid and well made, the plating is thick and durable, and I love the “ancient artifact” look of the worn edges and holes carefully placed to look random. Definitely one of my favourite, most comfortable to wear cuff bracelets.

  1. In about 1978, I bought some men’s cologne (Arimas?) just so I could get the gift-with-purchase of an umbrella that had a duck’s head as the handle. Didn’t have anyone to give the cologne to. Guess you have/had more common sense than I. But I love how you stumbled across the bracelet years later. Kismit.

  2. I remember those umbrellas. A dear friend of mine always wore Aramis and I still love the fragrance!
