About the Fragrance
Pivoine Suzhou Soie de Nacre reimagines the original scented story of the legendary gardens of Suzhou. Enriched with a shimmering pearlescent cloud, this limited edition fragrance draws inspiration from an ancient Chinese legend where the peony stands as a symbol of happiness and prosperity. Inspired by the harmony of the gardens of Suzhou in China, the fragrance is a tribute to the beautiful peony that grows there. Elegant and fresh, the fragrance opens with notes of mandarin, pink pepper and raspberry. At its heart, a generous duo of peony and May rose, deepened by essences of patchouli, amber and musk, reveals an aroma that is both sensual and soft.
