Pur Desir de Pivoine opens with very harsh and synthetic soapy scent. After a few minutes it become a light pure peony scent that stay close to the skin. After 5 hrs it’s undetectable on me.
Overall, a nice everyday wear in spring/summer when you want something light, simple and floral.

So pretty! Love this peony scent! Soft and flowery. Warm sunny days and garden of luscious peonies. What else could a girl ask for:) Peonies are such beautiful flowers and this is yours truly pure peony scent.
I’ll be getting a full bottle of this wonder!

Pure Peony. It’s straight. The scent doesn’t evolve very much. Very floral but not overpowering. I feel carefree while wearing it. One of my colleagues sometimes wears it too and it smells very pleasant. However, I don’t consider it a very personal scent, more like an additional fragrance to smell good. I used up a bottle but don’t feel the urge to repurchase it right away. But it certainly is a lovely frangrance.

Very sweet and cute soliflower. At first it’s definitely too much for my nose, too sweet and harsh but after a little while it tones down to a more pleasant scent. Definitely a spring choice for the romantic type of girl. Very subtle, does not project. Maybe that’s just good, I don’t want any bees thinking I’m a delicious peony…

It’s interesting to compare and contrast this with the old Yves Rocher Pivoine, which I am in fact doing right now as I have one on each arm.
Pur Desir de Pivoine opens very strongly and seems harsh and rather synthetic to me. There’s something bitter here. I think I agree with the reviewer who detected a geranium note later on.
After a couple of hours the fragrance softens and becomes more wearable. Lasting power is pretty good.
I think this may actually be a more realistic peony note than Pivoine, which is a very soft gentle floral with some powder. I don’t actually have any peonies to use as reference – must remember to check when they are out in June! Nevertheless I really do prefer the old Pivoine. To me it’s much more wearable and pleasant.

Nice first five minutes, harsh after smell!!!

I absolutely LOVE this1. It is such a shame they have stopped the production for now. This scent was way better then the current Pur Desir de Rose. Searching for something similar I reached out for Peony L`Occitane en Provence for women but it didnt really do it for me. Missing you Pivoine 😉
Corey_Tailor – :
Light peony fragrance. The peony note reminds more light pink peonies than dark peonies scent. I wouldn’t say that this fragrance smells exactly like a natural peony scent, but anyway it smells nice. And the peony note is better and less chemical for sure than in many more expensive fragrances.

Beautiful soliflore, perfect for spring and summer. It does not develop much for the 4-5 hours its stays on my skin, just gets a bit softer and sweeter. The scent of Pivoine is quite true to the actual peony flower, along with the stems and the morning dew. These last weeks they’ve been selling peonies everywhere in the streets, so I could compare 🙂 I used to wear for many years the old Pivoine in the white bottle which was sadly discontinued. Pur Desir de Pivoine EDT does not posess Pivoine’s complexity and staying power, but is still likeable, creamy and natural. I don’t know why but I get a geranium note somewhere in there, sweet and green, and some rose.
The body lotion is just gorgeous. Even without the EDT its scent lasts for hours. The shower gel I don’t like as much as the lotion.
Compared to L’Occitane peony range, I prefer this one, it’s more vegetal, less perfumey if you know what I mean, plus it’s way more affordable. I got the entire Pivoine set for 7 euros.
Anyway, this one is also about to go, they’re replacing it with the Rose fraiche scent which I haven’t seen yet.
EDIT: I’ve worn this EDT for a month every day and I must back the reviewers who said it changes. Mine has taken a rosey turn, it smells like rose water more than anithing else. Also its lasting power has dropped drastically. Perhaps it oxidizes too quickly when you start spraying it. Not bad, but completely away from the peony it used to be a month ago.
PhotoJug – :
Funny thing about this scent. As a teenager I avoided this pink bottle the most from all pur decir line. Ten years later I choose peony. It kinda remands me of self confident yet cute woman. it has something like baby doll smell in too. Very spring scent. like it. and the stay power is really long for this line! 4/5 hours…
tiscenko – :
My review is for the body wash. I never had it in perfume, but I guess the scent is the same or very close. The first time I opened the bottle, I didn’t like it at all. It smelled fake and weared… It has nothing to do with this gorgeous elegant peony scent. Or maybe it is because not all peonies have the same scent?!…
pe109736 – :
The heavenly scent of peonies in full bloom! YR manages again to create pleasant and very close to real nature fragrance. If you ever buried your face into bouquet of peonies to inhale their beautiful smell then you would know how Pur Desir de Pivoine smells like. It is garden full of peony bushes in full bloom.
The scent is soliflore. I love it for the first 30 minutes but then the vibrancy of peony flowers subside and I am left with light but pleasant floral scent. I wish the luscious peony scent lasted a bit longer but I can always re-apply it to experience it again.
Overall score 7.5/10. I definitely recommend if you are looking for peony soliflore. There are so many synthetic ones out there but this one is a great, more natural interpretation of this flower.
Evgenariusss – :
This scent is absurdly beautiful, simple and extremely long lasting. You wouldn’t expect this lasting power and strength from an Eau de Toilette, but it’s amazing and ridiculously inexpensive. Definitely one of my favorites, though I haven’t worn it much the past few months because it’s too fresh for winter.
I may change my mind.
tolstapuz – :
I am very very sorry. It smells like nothing:)) I don’t think it is because it’s mono floral. No scent at all. Maybe peony in the first 10 minutes and after that it’s very soapy and hmmm… sour? I don’t like it.
Sofi007 – :
I bought it a year ago to give my teacher as a birthday present.I don’t get the peony scent but rose.It smells romantic,light,sweet and girly for spring and summer.
Nikita7241 – :
I was very lucky to be able to test this fragance in comparison with a bunch of real soft pink garden peonies.
And I must say this is really pretty close. Lovely mono, perfect for springtime if you want to feel like a beautiful flower of peony.
Since peonies are my favourite flowers I sometimes like to impersonate one.
finderto – :
Just got this in my latest YR parcel today and I tested it small spray on my wrist. This is my first experience with linear peony and its very floral. I’m not a white floral kind of gal and that’s what I get with this linear scent. It was also very synthetic in the opening and that seems to fade as the scent begins to dry down. I’m trying to be patient and give it a chance. Perhaps I will appreciate it more in the springtime?
dark_angel – :
I really liked “Pivoine” from Yves Rocher back in the days and i also like this one but it is just a shadow of what ” Pivoine” used to be, very light and true peony scent but instantly vanishes and has no staying power sadly. I don´t want to waste my money on that. Maybe combined with body lotion it would last better, but sadly i don´t use any kind of body lotions at all…

When I was a kid my family lived at my grandparents house and my grandmother had peonies growing in the garden. This scent reminds me that time and my grandmother. But I wouldn’t wear Pur Desir de Pivoine myself, I’d give this fragrance for my granny if I got it somewhere. The nostalgy is nice but I couldn’t smell it on myself because it would make me feel old.
maddom92 – :
A very good peony smell. Light and floral not overly sweet. Smells like peonies in spring bloom. It’s the perfect scent for those who love the original Pivoine by Yves Rocher. Though the fragrance gets somewhat alcohol-like after having it for a while. I just wish they would go ahead and re-release the original. If they do I’m praying they don’t change the formula. This is a good sub but nothing like the original.

Described by the Book of Beauty as a “spicy creamy floral” Pur Desir de Pivoine (Peony) really is charming…
My mother has two HUGE peony bushes that bloom every summer whether we do anything to them or not, and this really smells like those big bouncy blooms. Spicy, yes; but not “hot”, more like pink peppercorns or corriander seed. This really is creamy and smooth. It has an underlying femininity to it. This is also one of the ones that got pushed out, as my collection grew. I held on to the hand soap and a small 30 ml EDT, just for its lovely scent and spicy floral feel. I just adore the vintage version of this: PIVOINE, in the milk-white flacon and the peony shaped topper. It has some more complexity, more notes and a bit deeper character than this. I put some of each on test strips, and had my Mom sniff them blind. To my surprise, she actually preferred the Pur Desir, while I loved the vintage SOOO much more. Go figure…
Sillage: okay
Longevity: decent
Overall: 3/5
Creamy and spicy, I love! Pink florals, not so much. There are times when I almost wish I had held on to this, then I come to my senses (usually after sniffing Pour Monsieur or some other manly cologne with flowers in it, but not made entirely of them) and realise it is just silly to have perfume to have it! If you are not gonna wear it, pass it on! This is delightful on my friend from High School, but it wilted on me. Peonies are wonderful on the bush…not on MY skin.
Juras85 – :
This scent is very similar to Gucci Envy me.
I think Envy me is sweeter, but overall this YR scent is a cheaper version of it.
Lasting power is average like an EDT.
Pure and rich peony scent,nothing less and nothing more.
Капшуков – :
It gets old quickly somehow (within a year – without exposure to sunlight or whatsoever); the smells starts to change and has this strange extra smell. I use it as my toilet refreshener now, because I don’t want to spray it on my skin but still like the smell.
POJIAH – :
Very fresh clean uncomplicated peony smell! The first moments are the best and remind you of just opened peony blooms. The opening fades quickly and becomes wispy and mild, but still peony-like. After about an hour you have only a hint of fragrance remaining. Wish they’d find a way to capture that opening, that lovely top note and make it last.
ERTU – :
it’s so delicate and yet long lasting.. i bought it as a gift to my mom.. definitely recommend it 😀
Oleg.lev32 – :
Smells really good, but it’s a shame that even after generous use, it wears off after a few hours. I would not buy it again only for that reason. Pivoine was better anyway.
ZepMankSpeeks – :
I had a sample of it and it was enough. I will never buy a full bottle. May be it’s ok for peony lovers and Yves Rocher perfume lovers, but for me it’s as smothering as other Yves Rocher fragrances. It seems to me that there are some ingredients in their perfumes that make them long lasting, but cheap smelling and mostly choking. If take away these ingredients the perfumes will be ok.
xyuliax – :
It smells like roses to me, but fresh roses, not spiced at all.
I applied it 5 hours ago and I can still smell it if I stick my nose to my harm. Sillage was strong the first hour, but now Pivoine is a skin scent.
vitos345765 – :
I like it especially in summer, very fresh and soft, I really can smell the peony. The only negative thing: doesn´t last more than an hour. Or should say:
I do not smell it-I received compliments allthough I thought it was already gone.
revonsheer – :
I used to have a bottle of Pivoine (the white one with the big pink floral lid) and really liked that, so I expected to like this as well. I don’t. It’s too … sharp? I guess? … would be the way to describe it. Maybe it will grow on me – it’s not that it smells bad, it’s just that I don’t like the scent at this time.
dimon080280 – :
I love it, i feel so good when i use the lotion, it last so long on the skin, it smells like spring, like you`re in love… soft floral, a little fresh and very feminine… It gives you a positive tender mood, and its very discreet – I LOVE IT
alciliel – :
It’s a very nice peony scent. I honestly like the soap from this line more than a fragrance cause of poor lasting quality but it’s my personal preference. They’re both good.
Rinatey – :
I got the perfume! YAY! So fresh and delicate like petals. Sadly it doesn’t last long on me at all.
711 – :
A very good peony fragrance. Also reasonably price which a plus. It is one of Yves Rocher’s better scents IMO.
Махно1100 – :
I have the bosy wash and candles. Ahhh a pure peony scent. LOVE IT! Really want the perfume.
