Character
The Story of Pink Peony
Pink Peony captures the lush, multi-layered heart of spring. Its soft, romantic floralcy sits between rose and lily of the valley, bringing airy elegance and a fresh, subtly sweet lift to any composition.
Heritage
Peonies trace their perfumed history to ancient China over two thousand years ago, where they became symbols of wealth, honor, and prosperity in imperial gardens. Chinese nobility prized them as emblems of love and good fortune, their lush petals inspiring artists and poets alike. Greek mythology contributed the flower's name, derived from Paeon, a physician whom Zeus transformed into the bloom to shield him from his mentor's jealousy. By the Renaissance, European fascination with botanical gardens brought peonies westward, and they soon appeared in cosmetic preparations for aristocratic patrons. Today, pink peony remains a staple of romantic fine fragrances, valued for its delicate, enduring charm.
