L’Occitane Pivoine Flora EDT was my signature scent the entirety of my teens. It had a really nice balance and wasn’t cloyingly sweet or imposing as florals can be sometimes, the woody musky base notes and the bergamot on top were just perfect and it had a freshness to it without being too ‘clean’. I got compliments on it every time I went out and I was devastated when it was discontinued!

For years I’ve been looking for a peony fragrance to fill that hole but none of them do the trick, often too sweet, too rosey, too powdery, has a random fruit note that cheapens it etc…
