Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pivoine
A radiant symbol of the return of sunny days, peonies have an unparalleled charm. Unfortunately, their delightful scent cannot be directly extracted from the flower. But perfumer Marie Salamagne turned even this obstacle into an opportunity to reconstitute a blend that would mimic its vibrant radiance and colourful petals. The result is a naturally floral – and aquatic aromatic blast of spring with a unique peony blend made entirely of natural ingredients like rose and pear. White raspberries add a deliciously juicy and mischievous touch to the bouquet, which is rooted in a cedarwood base that magnifies and completes its fragrance trail. Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pivoine100ml – £92. 50ml – £68. Available only after Mother’s Day from The Perfume Shop from March 27th 2023 and nationally from April 16th – but such a lovely fragrance, I’m sure your mum won’t mind waiting for this special scented gift.
