Pivoine Suzhou

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Giorgio Armani Pivoine Suzhou

Pivoine Suzhou is Armani Prive’s refined ode to the peony, inspired by the gardens of Suzhou, and our version keeps that elegant, feminine character.

The Story Behind the Scent

Released in 2014 and crafted by Cecile Matton and Julie Masse, Pivoine Suzhou is part of Giorgio Armani’s Les Eaux Prive collection, inspired by the legendary gardens of Suzhou in China. The fragrance celebrates the peony, one of the most beloved Chinese flowers, symbolising happiness, prosperity and grace.

Our interpretation captures the same refined peony signature, rebuilt at 40 percent perfume oil concentration so the mandarin raspberry opening, the peony rose heart and the warm patchouli base last well on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a refined peony rose scent and wants a luxury style fragrance without the high price.
