Rose Pivoine

Haha on kindergarten teacher! Though I'd give that honor to Violette in Love from PdN. This to me is more classical piano teacher. It's fruity initially, almost watery. I don't get berries as much as unripe pear or melon rinds. It's rosy with peony accents, slightly green and soapy. Smells a bit old-fashioned, prim. It's classically pretty. Nice for when you want to just smell clean and not terribly obtrusive.

Totally agree with Katie below, "This smells like a kindergarten teacher should smell". It's a pretty, classic rose with a nice hit of pink pepper-like florals. Reminds me of my grandma and of junior high (the fun parts).

"This smells like a kindergarten teacher should smell" another reviewer said it better than I could! This is a very very nice red berry-rose scent. Yummy and nostalgic, it took me back and forth between spending time with my grandma as a tiny and being in junior high, two times when I was looking around, figuring out, trying on what it means to be feminine. (despite all this??) It's a happy smell.

This smells like a kindergarten teacher should smell---sweet, flowery and sunny. A porch lemonade party with rocking chairs in the spring. Pale blue tablecloth, sliced lemons in an icy pitcher and a bed of blossoming roses, peonies This would be a nice scent to take on vacation or even a casual business trip because it's light, fruity, flowery and not headache-making. This would be delicious in a hand cream and soap, tucked in your luggage??

This is a beautiful perfume. I ordered 7 different peony scents and this one is my favourite of the bunch. It has a juicy and sweet fruit top note, a light peony scent with a soft musk. It is very light and feminine, perfect for spring and summer.

This was very disappointing. I love roses and geranium so this seemed perfect, but as soon as I applied it I knew it would not work. I got a very green, juicy, sweet and sour smell that reminded me a lot of the cucumber-y Origins Calyx from the 90's a friend wore. I get this from fruit notes so I looked on PdN' s website and sure enough, they list red fruits as the top note. So, if your chemistry does not like berries this probably won't work for you either. I never smelled any rose or geranium. It might dry down to something nice but the start was so yucky I had to scrub. Fortunately it came right off with some African black soap.

Decided to try out a few peony scents. I bought samples of this one and Penhaligons Peoneve. I liked Peoneve better. It smelled a little more complex. It has a green note to it that Rose Pivoine is missing. All I get from Rose Pivoine is flowers, no other notes. Extremely girly.

Beautiful true rose with hint of whatever else is growing in a beautiful garden, in this case peony. Long lasting. Will buy full bottle.

Fruity, peppery, juicy rose. This is rather girly, kind of flouncy...there's a sweetness that limits it to spring and summertime, but I appreciate things that have a time and a place and this one definitely does. I definitely like it a lot, and at this price point it makes sense to just buy it.

So Pretty!!! Lots of peony and I feel there is a touch of rose in there too. Next time I will buy the bigger bottle!!!!!
