The story behind the bottle.
Peoneve by Penhaligon's, launched in 2012 and crafted by Olivier Cresp, is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of fresh peony blossoms. The top note of violet leaf introduces a subtle green freshness, while the heart of peony, rose, and jasmine creates a delicate bouquet that feels both familiar and refined. This composition settles into a base of musk, vetiver, and cashmeran, adding warmth and depth without overpowering the floral core.
Apply Peoneve sparingly — the violet leaf top note is fleeting but impactful. The floral heart blooms gradually over time, so a light spritz on pulse points allows for a gentle transition from freshness to warmth throughout the day.
