What does Black Peony smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Voters link it most with leisure and daytime wear, though it is also worn for nights out and evenings. It reads as a women's scent.

White peony and black peony form the floral core, with freesia alongside. Vanilla and apricot sweeten it into a soft, gourmand mood, while bergamot adds a light freshness. The oriental and powdery accords keep the overall impression warm and soft.
