Yardley London 2008 EDT
Peony
Yardley London Peony is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008. Peony opens with Red Currant, Allspice, Green Notes, and Peony, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, Lily of the Valley, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Yardley London's Peony carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
This is a simple, refreshing floral that sadly, is no longer with us. It was a perfect, inexpensive pick-me-up for sunny days, praised for its fresh, natural scent, though its fleeting nature meant you'd be re-spraying often.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, light, and unobtrusive floral profile, coupled with its generally short longevity, makes it a prime candidate for casual wear and daily refreshers like after a shower or during light sport. It would be perfectly suitable for an office setting where something subtle is preferred, but lacks the longevity and gravitas for formal events or evening dates.
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
Other declarable allergens
- Rose geranium
- Sandalwood
- Synthetic 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
