by Lancôme
Rose Peonia by Lancôme presents a delicate, effervescent floral with a vibrant opening of dewy rose and juicy raspberry, accented by a subtle hint of pink pepper that adds a lightly spicy lift. The scent unfolds with a fresh, almost jelly-like quality—reminiscent of Turkish Delight or a premium strawberry-rose candy—delivering a bright, feminine aura without heaviness. The peony note contributes a subtle, powdery softness, lending depth without becoming opaque. While the overall composition is well-balanced and evokes comparisons to standout perfumes like Holy Peony and Mille et Une Roses due to Lancôme's signature rose quality, the scent is notably less sustainable on skin. It lingers moderately and tends to fade within an hour, despite an appealing trail that others may notice in a moderate sillage. Its character leans more toward a timeless daytime, fresh floral with a touch of intrigue in the dry-down. The fragrance feels unified and pleasing to those seeking a graceful, wearable rose-peony scent with subtle complexity. While it lacks the bold projection or longevity that might justify its price, many appreciate the refinement and quiet beauty, especially for spring or summer wear. It may not captivate with a grand presence, but its quality of execution and soft charm make it memorable in a subtle way.
