The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Patricia de Nicolai, the perfumer behind Rose Pivoine by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur, weaves a composition that balances fresh spicy and fruity notes with deep floral and woody accords. The fragrance opens with blackcurrant and raspberry, which introduce a vibrant freshness that contrasts beautifully with the rich, sensual heart of rose and peony. Sandalwood and incense add an earthy warmth to the base, grounding the entire composition in a sophisticated elegance.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough to capture its full essence. The fresh spicy top notes fade within an hour, but the rich rose and woody base linger for hours, making it perfect for both daytime and evening wear.
