What does Pivoine smell like?

It opens with red apple, bringing a fruity, sweet freshness. In the heart, peony, rose, jasmine and carnation form the floral core. Suede in the base leaves a soft, leathery ground, while sweetness and freshness stay present throughout.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine. Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede and A'pieu Lovely Peony have a close profile.
