Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, delicate floral nature makes it perfect for casual wear and the office, as it's unlikely to offend due to its soft sillage. However, its understated character means it's less suited for formal events where a bolder statement might be preferred.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A delightful flutter of fresh florals, Pivoine Suzhou Soie de Nacre opens with a sparkling burst of mandarin and juicy raspberry, gently spiced by pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a soft bouquet of elegant rose and delicate peony, feeling clean and almost watery. A subtle base of warm amber and clean musk ensures a gentle, feminine finish, with a whisper of patchouli.
