A Mediterranean legend tells of a beautiful nymph named Paeonia, so courted by the gods that a jealous goddess transformed her into a flower with a thousand petals: the peony.
Since then, this symbol of beauty brightens every spring with its radiant colors and fragrances.
Naturally herbaceous or shrub-like in form, and available in shades ranging from bright to pastel, this voluminous, rounded flower is often associated with feminine beauty and love, making it an absolutely romantic bloom.
In the world of perfumery, the peony is considered one of the most iconic flowers.
Expert opinion:
Whether it occupies a central place in the heart notes or is hidden in the base notes, peony brings a delicate, summery scent that is sure to appeal to a wide audience.
With its slightly rosy scent, the peony wonderfully enhances our women's fragrances with its floral and rosy notes,
its green or fruity nuances, and its delicate and ethereal accents.
Since peony cannot be used in its natural form, it is artificially recreated by a perfumer in a laboratory.
There are many perfumes with peony notes today. Among the most famous are: the iconic Alaïa Paris by Azzedine Alaïa, Amethyst by Lalique, Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss by Cacharel, and Ange ou Démon by Givenchy.
