"It's still very nice, but there is no freshness, zest, "white flower" scent. It's alluring and energetic enough to be worn in the office or go out at night, but more of a fall/winter scent in my mind. ."
". . while, ironically, Demeter's "Peony", because it's a tad too powdery and slightly sweet/vanil-y, could work as a "Magnolia" scent. . . go figure ;)"
"I received a complimentary Peony Oil Roll On with my order. It's very light and fresh! Really nice!"
"Smells kinda cheap:("
"Love the smell of this."
"Enjoying the fleeting bloom time for peonies, I decided to order this. WORST.DECISION.OF.MY.LIFE This smells nothing like peony. Old lady - yes. Barbical - maybe. Dove soap (once it has dried a bit) - totally."
"When I get a whiff of this scent on me, it makes me so happy!"
"I got thie perfume oil as a free gift with my order, it's not something I would have ordered for myself since I don't generally like heavier floral scents, but since it was free I tried it out, and I'm really surprised by how much I like it. Not chemical-y at all, very warm and pleasant."
"Years ago, i bought a small bottle of this and it was probably the nicest scent i'd ever worn. Recently, i bought another bottle. Granted, it arrived mid january and i was in Turkey for 2 weeks. By the time i returned, it's possible it froze or expired or something. But it stank. Like something a 13 year old girl would wear to her first coed sleepover. Just cheap, sickly sweet and universally offensive. I'm not sure how to proceed with actually rating this but I'd appreciate Demeter weighing in on that one.. FYI the second bottle was a gift and i'm concerned about counterfeit. That's how different my two experiences were."
"It's pretty ,yes, but peony is a ubiquitous note in many fragrances. The dry down is powdery and a bit grandma-ish. It isn't bad it's just not my taste."
