Holy Peony

NAME

Holy Peony is the fragrance that personifies the peony blossom, often immortalized by the greatest artists as a symbol of beauty. This Maison Christian Dior fragrance interprets the olfactory translation of the plump and generous beauty of this sacred flower.

WORDS FROM DIOR PERFUMER-CREATOR FRANÇOIS DEMACHY

“Composing Holy Peony was like painting the portrait of a visibly charming woman. This peony, which was created in a floral and fruity ‘trompe-l’œil’ style, invites in the sparkle of red fruit. It is avid for light and its apricot rose scent conveys its round, feminine curves. This is a fragrance draped in the lightest woods and musks, which give it an amber charm. It is as fresh as the flower’s green leaves and as dazzling as its red petals. Holy Peony is a luminous scent, like a rose without thorns, soft, yet confident.”

FAMILY

Floral. Holy Peony is a floral portrait of the peony, which plays on its seductive fullness and botanical freshness.

INTENSITY

Holy Peony is a fragrance that strikes a balance between softness and fruity vivacity.

COLOUR

Red, the scarlet velvet that blankets the corolla of the peony blossom, the olfactory image of its bright crimson petals.

CHARACTER

Holy Peony is a fragrance draped in the lightest of cloaks: Rose woven with Lily of the Valley, sparkling notes of Strawberry and Raspberry, as well as Woods and Musks that give it an amber charm.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURE

Holy Peony is an olfactory “trompe-l’œil”. The peony is not easily cajoled: the fleeting beauty of the flower had to be imagined and tamed to capture it in a fragrance.
