Pivoine – Eau de Parfum

 Manos Gerakinis Pivoine Eau de Parfum

Pivoine by Manos Gerakinis – The Modern Soul of the Peony

With Pivoine, Manos Gerakinis Parfums offers a fragrant homage to one of the most expressive flowers in nature – the peony. This exceptional niche fragrance blends floral delicacy with emotional depth and cultural symbolism. Graceful, radiant, and quietly powerful, Pivoine is not just a scent, but a poetic dialogue between mythology and contemporary perfumery.

Created in 2017 by Manos Gerakinis himself, this composition is a personal creation rooted in Greek mythology. The name Pivoine, French for peony, is inspired by the legend of Paeon, the divine healer who cured Pluto with a mysterious root. Out of jealousy, his teacher Asclepius threatened his life – but Zeus transformed Paeon into a peony as an act of divine grace. Thus, this fragrance becomes a symbolic narrative about healing, transformation, and inner strength – captured in every drop.

Peonies do not yield an essential oil, which makes their scent a challenge for perfumers. The essence of the flower must be artfully reconstructed through a symphony of floral, fruity, and spicy notes. Pivoine does exactly that – with luminous precision. The opening bursts with red apple, juicy and uplifting. At its heart, the peony accord unfolds: rosy, slightly sweet, subtly green, and elegantly paired with jasmine, rose, and a touch of clove. The floral character is radiant but never overwhelming – feminine without being girlish, floral yet composed.

The base brings texture and grounding. Suede wraps the skin in warmth and softness, giving the fragrance a tactile, almost intimate depth. The result is a scent that lingers like a whisper on the skin – refined, emotive, unforgettable.

Pivoine is crafted as a gender-neutral perfume, free from clichés and built for those who love floral fragrances that embrace clarity over sweetness. It is a composition for those who seek vulnerability with strength – for individuals who let scent express what words cannot.

Made in Greece using a plant-based alcohol and high-quality raw materials, Pivoine reflects the essence of modern niche perfumery: honest, elegant, and timeless.
