Peony
& Blush Suede…even the name of this fragrance is intriguing, but after
one whiff, I knew this romantic, lush scent would be the newest addition to my
perfume collection.
Jo
Malone calls the fragrance, “The
essence of charm. Peonies in voluptuous
bloom, exquisitely fragile. Flirtatious
with the juicy bite of red apple and the opulence of jasmine, rose and
gillyflower. Mingling with the
sensuality of soft, blush suede.
Luxurious and seductive.”
And it is indeed, “luxurious and seductive.”
The fragrance is infused with some of my favorite notes –
rose and jasmine. The top note is red
apple, at the center of the fragrance is peony, and blush suede serves as the
base.
What makes this fragrance so interesting is the addition of
the blush suede, which adds an earthy, sensual, almost masculine element. When I wear it, I am reminded of my husband’s
favorite suede blazer. Anytime a fragrance can conjure thoughts of him, it’s
alright with me!
The scent is strong, but delicate. It starts as a vibrant floral bouquet and settles
into something subtly sexy, but comfortable and familiar at the same time. I find the blush suede is the strongest after
I have worn it for a few hours.
Jo Malone is known for unique scent pairings and this
fragrance is no different. I loved it so
much that I bought the candle
in the same scent. It is so perfect for
a cozy evening in bed with the hubby and so fragrant that even when we don’t
burn it, it wafts through the room.
The fragrance is romantic enough to serve as a wedding
fragrance to brides-to-be, as well.
