What does Holy Peony smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it is neither a heavy scent that fills a room nor one that vanishes quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mostly for leisure, daily life and the office. Most voters find it feminine, while some call it modern.

Peony, rose and lily of the valley form a floral core, with raspberry and strawberry adding a soft, sweet fruitiness. Musk and woods stay in the background, and the green and fresh accords keep it light. Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice and Lalique Amethyst have a close profile.
