What does Peonie smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office; few choose it for evenings or nights out.

The top opens with peony, lily, jasmine, neroli and lilac. In the heart, tarragon, ginger and damson plum add a green, lightly spicy, fruity edge. The base of patchouli, American cedar, vetiver and tonka bean dries down woody, sweet and powdery. Floris China Rose and Rabanne XS pour Elle have a close profile.
