The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Dark Peony by Victoria's Secret captures the essence of modern elegance with its oriental floral composition. The fragrance opens with fresh and powdery notes that create a soft, inviting atmosphere before giving way to rich musk and rose accords. This juxtaposition between freshness and depth makes it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate complexity in their scents.

How to wear it

Apply Dark Peony sparingly; its musky base notes build gradually over time. The fresh top notes are fleeting, so allow it to develop on skin for at least an hour before reapplying if needed.
