Pivoine Souveraine – Eau de Parfum

 Houbigant Paris - PIVOINE SOUVERAINE - Eau de Parfum  

In "Pivoine Souveraine", the peony, revered as the "Queen of Flowers", symbolizes beauty and the enchantment of first encounters. This fragrance intertwines delicate hints of roses and white flowers, crafting a romantic scent that exudes clarity and serenity. Like a stroll along a floral path on a pristine spring day, it evokes the cool and refreshing light of early morning. Upon application, the fragrance unfolds with an unexpected freshness, accented by precious spicy notes that captivate the senses. Gradually, a delicate peony heart note emerges, embraced by a bouquet of roses and jasmine, infusing the composition with elegance.

The journey concludes with a warm and inviting base of musk, sandalwood and tea leaves, enveloping the wearer in a romantic and tranquil aura. PIVOINE SOUVERAINE, Houbigant. An expression of inspiration created by Céline Ellena, the daughter of Jean Claude Ellena. As an avid explorer of serene gardens worldwide, I find solace in the vast landscapes and diverse aromas captured within the pages of magnificent photography books. Among nature's treasures, the peony stands as a symbol of grace, cherished by perfumers for its intricate and subtle fragrance.

Unlike the boldness of roses, the peony exudes an earthy, fresh allure, evoking a sense of understated charisma. Inspired by the endearing title "Queen of Flowers", Céline Ellena embarked on a creative journey to craft a fragrance that would encapsulate the essence of the peony for the esteemed house of Houbigant. With a vision to capture the peony's velvety petals in a sophisticated and romantic Eau de Parfum, Ellena crafted an olfactory masterpiece that pays homage to the flower's ephemeral bloom in spring. Presented in a magnificent bottle with vintage charm, the fragrance emanates timeless elegance, effortlessly complementing any occasion with its tender and warm embrace. The scent draws inspiration from a poignant image – a lush collection of peonies adorning the shores of the Mediterranean, amidst a delicate dance of order and chaos, interconnectedness and solitude.

This evocative scene captured the essence of spring's early morning light, filling the air with a cool and pure aroma that ignited the desire to capture the peonies' beauty in all its colors and nuances. “It was a journey to collect materials and capture the delicacy of the shimmering light that shone through each petal. The result is a perfume that captures the subtle nuances of roses and white. It is a subtle peony - bright, opalescent and velvety. A scent without clouds, romantic and cheerful, clear and calming. An elegant ode to the beauty of nature.” - Celine Ellena
