The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Pivoine Souveraine by Houbigant is a fragrance that reimagines the classic peony with modern sophistication. The composition begins with pink pepper and elemi, adding a fresh and slightly spicy edge to the opening notes of clementine. As it evolves, peony takes center stage alongside rose and jasmine, creating a lush floral bouquet that is both delicate and commanding. This is further grounded by the warmth of sandalwood and musk, giving the fragrance a soft powdery finish that lingers on the skin.
Apply two sprays on pulse points for a balanced presence. The fragrance has moderate longevity and sillage, so it's best enjoyed close to skin rather than filling a room. It pairs well with light layers during transitional seasons.
