Get the scent in your home

If you want the scent of the peony in your home all year round, then the Pivoine Flora Romantic Candle from L'Occitane is for you. The wax is enriched with peony extract and the soft fragrance will be released whenever you light the candle.

Smell peonies wherever you go

The essence of the peony has been captured in the Peony & Blush Suede Cologne from Jo Malone. The luxurious scent is mixed with jasmine, rose and gillyflower to create a rounded fragrance that almost recreates the delights of a fresh bouquet of the flower.

Fresh is best

Perfumes and candles are a great way to capture the scent of flowers, but to truly experience the fresh smell of the peony, the best thing to do is to put some cut flowers on display in your home. The flowers have very versatile stems which you can stand tall for a striking arrangement, or cut short to float the lush flowers in a bowl of water. It's best to get your peonies just as the buds are opening to fill your room with their scent for a week.
