Bath & Body Works Perfect Peony Eau de Parfum Review: Hey guys, I am someone who is a lot into fragrances and its odd that I haven’t talked about a fragrance for a long time on my blog. So here we go, let’s have a look at this much loved floral fragrance by Bath and Body Works. Perfect peony is one of the much loved classic lines from BBW. The first thing that had tried from this range was their fragrance mist. Although I am not much of a fan of florals (except rose that I absolutely love), I found this one quite unique and a standout.

In Detail Bath & Body Works Perfect Peony Eau de Parfum Review and My Experience

The Perfect Peony by Bath and Body Works comes in a rather charming square transparent glass bottle with a blue spherical cap on top. Honestly, I love minimalistic packagings when it comes to things so intimate such as fragrances. It says perfect peony on the front and has a floral embossment at the back such that, the “Perfect Peony” looks beautiful in the background of the flower.

The outer carton box, besides all the details and ingredients, has a very interesting message. Its such a sweet gesture to include something like this in personal use products, never fails to put a smile on anyone who opens up the package.

Open the blue cap, its a regular looking perfume spray nozzle.

Bath and Body Works describes the scent as “An airy blend of peony, natural apple oil & vanilla sandalwood“. I think that is a pretty good elucidation. When I spray it on, the first notes that hit me are pure and strong floral. The floral-iness is quite sweet and almost smells like a bouquet of flowers (peony?). Within 5 minutes, the fragrances settles down a bit and thats when the slight fruitiness emerges, the floral punch kind of takes a back seat now. Slowly the vanilla becomes noticeable too. After like half or one hour, you can appreciate sandalwood if you’ve a refined sense for smells otherwise it is easy to miss.

Throughout its course, the florals are at the forefront combined with a little sweetness from the fruitiness and very minimal vanilla. Like I mentioned above, I am not too much of a floral enthusiast and yet I liked this because after sometime post application, the florals become really soft and lingering and not too powerful like usual floral perfumes have. The combination of vanilla and sandalwood in the base note makes it specially pleasing for those who do not appreciate overly floral smells.

The character of the scent I feel is very feminine and fresh. Like you’d wear it in the day time. Its casual and I relate it to summertime for some reason. You can actually wear this in the evening as well if you are someone who loves floral fragrances.

The scent stays on me for like 4-5 hours. Post which I can may be smell it sometimes if I bring my wrist really close to my nose. The sillage is decent. Neither too good, nor too bad. I mean, people close to you can smell it for like 2 hours after you’ve worn it. But later on, it fades out eventually.

If you’re into BBW fragrances, you might have tried “Gingham”. Perfect peony actually reminds me of Gingham but Gingham again is a much warmer as compared to perfect peony. You may compare it to the “Rose” fragrance as well but then that again has a more creamy base note. Whereas perfect peony has some fruitiness to it.

Overall, if you love floral perfumes, it is less likely that you would go wrong with this one. But otherwise too, you may definitely give this a try in the stores. I specifically do not like “jasmine” like smelling perfumes and most floral perfumes have jasmine unfortunately. So perfect peony is a nice change. It is floral, unique without being too much on your face. The only downside I feel is the fact that it doesn’t last very long on me. Even after using the body cream from the same range, I can hardly extend the wear time by half an hour or so.
