Yves Rocher Pivoine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993. Pivoine opens with Mandarin and Freesia, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Peony, Carnation, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Iris. Yves Rocher's Pivoine carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just 'pretty smelling water' it's a divisive floral powerhouse that some adore for its vintage charm, whilst others find it too old-school and overpowering. Love it or hate it, Pivoine leaves an impression.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Given its strong sillage and longevity, Pivoine might be too intense for casual office wear, though some find its soapy quality quite clean. It's more suited to formal events or a romantic evening where its distinctive, bold floral character can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Pivoine opens with a burst of green freshness, sharp and almost bitter, hinting at dewy stems and budding blooms. This soon mellows into a rich, complex floral heart where the star peony shines, accompanied by ethereal rose and other delicate petals. The dry down introduces a soft, powdery quality, evocative of classic femininity.
