What does Peony smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good; most voters pick winter, fall and spring, and few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out, with business and leisure wear chosen less often. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and spices, then turns sweeter in the heart with peony, date and labdanum. The base of vetiver, benzoin, patchouli, musk and myrrh leaves a woody, resinous warmth. The floral and fruity sides sit on an oriental foundation. Experimental Perfume Club Ambre Épices and Rochas Moustache have a close profile.
