Peony L`Occitane en Provence for women

If this is peony... it`s fruity floral girly fragrance. That`s all. If you want really uncomplicated pretty peony go for Yves Rocher.

It such a nice soft floral. i don't find it sweet, but just floral..love it!!

it is very strongly floral, a even a bit heady.. perhaps misting it would be an option..

oh...this scent brought me back to the past... the smell of soft baby pink colored soap that is so gorgeous looking.

flowery and smooth, with a hint of green notes. it gets powdery toward the end.

lovely frangrance and a very safe one. but not one that will stand out from the crowd...

I was disappointed by that fragrance, I agree, there is not peonie, just a herbal scent, probably there are leaves of a peony... but sure not a flowers.

Some time ago I got absolutely enchanted by peony in Stella Nude. It reminded me a lot of beautiful peonies my late grandmother planted in our flower garden. My most cherished childhood memories. So I started looking for a differen peony scent, where it would be more exposed. And here we go, a new lanch from l'Occitaine in front of my eyes when I was walking down the street!

And yet such a disappointment. Maybe because I am an anti-fan of citrus notes. In so many perfumes they overtake everything and for me spoil the whole fragrance. This is another such case. The peony is such a fragile and ephemeral note in general, and here it gets completely overshadowed by the aggressive bergamote. Then the whole fragrance gets somewhat herbal, reminescent of a spring garden, the drydown is musky-woody, very cozy, but where oh where is my peony gone?

Overally, it is a nice spring fragrance, but unfortunately does not fulfill the promise it bears in its name.

I admit that this was an impulse purchase. I had to get the new L’Occitane Paeonia at the moment I sniffed it. I was most likely prompted by the memory of the beautiful peony flowers from my childhood. Peony is a lush, regal-looking, long-stemmed flower with a surprisingly delicate aroma. They come in different colors, most typically pink and white. Paeonia is, no doubt, a pink scent. Peonies symbolize spring, and the perfume captures the spirit of this season amazingly well. It is a peony flower in full bloom with a slightly green undertone. I can see the stem and green leaves surrounding the gentle petals.

Musk and sandalwood may give the fragrance some substance, but these notes never distract from the beautiful, pink, floral heart of Paeonia. The whole effect is very soft and innocent and as delicate as the actual fragrance of the blossoms. I don’t find any synthetic notes that irritate me as it sometimes happens with floral perfumes for me. The only issue I have is that the fragrance may be too fleeting. I mention this with the caveat that I usually wear heavier scents, so I might not be completely objective in this case.

Note: This is a review of the EDT, the spray bottle. Paeonia Intense Eau de Toilette Roll-on is sweeter and does appear, indeed, more intense, but I thought that the EDT was truer to the essence of peony.

This is a lovely peony with a slightly raspy green note on my skin. It gets lighter as it stays, and even slightly greener, and does not ever get super sweet. The story about a fairy makes a lot of sense, this perfume does have an impression of light stepping youth, spring of life and Spring as the season.

I am not buying this one, though it's nice, because it reminds me too much of one of my favorites -- L'Eclat D'Arpege. A similar peony smell, a similar light and green feeling to both. But if L'Eclat is not floral enough for your taste and you'd like something similar yet more flowers, you will probably love Paeonia!
