Fresh · Citrus · Floral
Houbigant Pivoine Souveraine turns peony, rose and jasmine into a fresh, green-tinged floral, opened by bright clementine and pink pepper, and is made for women.
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor vanishes quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, office and daily wear. Voters mostly call its character feminine, with classic and modern close behind.
The top of clementine, pink pepper and elemi resin gives a citrusy, lightly spicy start. At the heart, peony, rose and jasmine carry the floral side, with a fresh, green feel and a touch of fruity sweetness throughout. Tea, sandalwood and musk close it out in a woody, creamy base.
