The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Dolce Peony by Dolce&Gabbana is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance crafted by Christophe Raynaud. The composition opens with bright pear and cyclamen, leading to a heart of peony and freesia that captures the essence of fresh petals. Underneath this floral bouquet lies a sweet honey base, supported by ambroxan and patchouli for depth and warmth. This fragrance is designed to be both lively and comforting, blending the freshness of fruit with the richness of florals.

How to wear it

Apply Dolce Peony to pulse points for a steady warmth throughout the day. The fruity top notes are most prominent within the first hour, so allow it some time to settle before reapplying if you prefer the floral heart and sweet base to be more pronounced.

Christophe Raynaud

Architect first, craftsman second

Christophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.

“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
