Penhaligon’s Peoneve EDP Perfume Video Review

Penhaligon's Peoneve

I’m not usually a fan of soliflores as many are boring. I hestitated trying Penhaligon’s Peoneve due to the lackluster backstory and the fact that every peony perfume I try leaves me with a headache (as well as smelling peony flowers). After trying Peoneve I was taken back. This is one gorgeous lush “pink” floral.

Peoneve opens a big ‘ole floral with a big ‘ole helping of jasmine. Peoneve is heady and pretty but it does have a bit of an animalic funk (probably a sweaty vetiver) being covered with fresh greens and tea leaves. With time I get a raspberry rose from Peoneve. Oh, and a flawless peony. The dry-down on me is a sweaty vetiver and clean musks. Peoneve has a living quality to it.

I get a funky, almost rotting aspect to Peoneve as well as a dazzling brightness. I like this in my florals. And this is one of the only peonies that I have ever tried that doesn’t give me a headache. After years of searching and sampling, I’ve found the peony for me.

Give Peoneve a try if you are looking for a peony perfume. Or if you like perfumes like Annick Goutal Quel Amour!, Parfums DelRae Coup de Foudre, YSL Paris EDT, Jessica Simpson Vintage Bloom and/or Gucci Flora EDP. Peoneve is a very feminine fragrance.

The 1.7 oz EDP retails for $120 at Beautyhabit and Penhaligon’s (UK).

Victoria’s Final EauPINIONLuscious peony bouquet. I’ve surprised myself with how much I love this one. When I wear this, I smell pretty, oh so pretty!

    1. I had a sample for months before trying. I have had 0 luck with peony perfumes in the past. Glad I tried it. It’s really pretty.

    1. Yes. Like the Violette one I think I’m anosmic to half of it. I’m not smelling it in stereo. I do get the mimosa in it!
