This scent is absolutely stunning—so refined and feminine that smelling it feels like a party. The ingredients smell natural, like peonies with lychee and a soft amber base, almost like velvet. It’s not a bomb, but it doesn’t go unnoticed. It defines a delicate, almost ethereal woman; if you get close, it captivates you with its exquisiteness. It’s not unique, but it feels like it. There are so many synthetic peony scents out there with chemicals, but this is a dance of young, romantic flowers in their natural form. Reminds me of E. Lauder’s Pleasures, but on another level. Lasts about 7 hours on skin with moderate projection. Perfect for daytime or as a signature scent. The only downside is the price; being a niche fragrance, it’s quite high.
Intense fragrance; the opening red pepper note can be excessive (it’s very marked on my skin), but once it dries down, it’s a marvel. The scent is extremely feminine and sophisticated. The projection is beastly, so to avoid offending anyone, I prefer to be cautious; two sprays are more than enough. 8/10.
It doesn’t smell bad, nor is it incredible. It’s lychee, peony, and musk. Fresh, feminine, and versatile. But it’s not a unique scent, nor does it have extraordinary longevity (on me it lasts 6-7 hours with low projection) to justify the price.
Soft peony… nothing original. Better to go for Chloé Eau de Toilette.
Incredible fragrance, so refined and feminine that smelling it is pure bliss. The ingredients smell natural, like peonies with a touch of lychee and a velvet amber base. It’s not a bomb, but it doesn’t go unnoticed. It defines a delicate and ethereal woman who doesn’t bother anyone, but if you get close, it captivates you with its exquisiteness. It’s not unique, but it feels like it. The market is full of synthetic peonies, but this is a dance of natural, romantic flowers. Reminds me of E. Lauder’s Pleasures, but on another level. Lasts about 7 hours with moderate projection. Ideal for everyday wear or as a signature scent. The only tricky part is the price; being niche, it’s very high.
Powerful at first, that red pepper note is too much for my skin, but once it dries down, it’s pure gold. Smells super feminine and classy. The projection is beastly, so be careful: two sprays are enough to avoid overwhelming anyone. 8/10.
