Our verdict on Sweet Peony: Acquired

This one's a proper divisive darling - some folks adore its sweet, powdery florals, hailing it as a 'powerhouse' of femininity. Others are left scratching their heads, wondering where the promised peony went, calling it a 'synthetic disappointment'. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Its prominent sweetness and strong sillage, often described as a 'powerhouse', make it a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its 'sensual' and 'feminine' character, along with its excellent longevity, makes it ideal for dates and casual outings where leaving an impression is welcome.

About

Sweet Peony opens with a rush of mixed florals, where rose frequently takes centre stage, often overshadowing the peony. It quickly settles into a creamy, powdery heart with hints of juicy peach and tropical coconut, evoking a sense of sweet, almost jammy nostalgia. The dry-down introduces a warm vanilla sweetness, occasionally laced with a subtle coffee and clove spice, preventing it from becoming overly cloying.
