The story behind the bottle.
Peonia Nobile by Acqua di Parma was launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer François Demachy. This fragrance is a floral masterpiece that opens with fresh spicy notes before diving into the heart of rose and fruity accents. The base features warm spices and patchouli, creating an intricate balance between freshness and warmth. Peonia Nobile pays homage to Acqua di Parma’s Italian heritage while offering a modern twist on traditional florals.
Apply two sprays for a balanced presence throughout the day. The freshness of the top notes lasts about an hour before the warm spices and patchouli begin to take center stage, making it ideal for daytime wear with a subtle evening transition.
