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.

Top notes: Mandarin Orange, Raspberry

Heart notes: Peony, May Rose

Base notes: Patchouli, Musk

The opening is fresh and fruity, with mandarin orange, raspberry and a touch of pink pepper.

The heart is a refined peony, delicate and feminine, wrapped in May rose and soft rose.

The base is warm and smooth, with patchouli, musk and amber giving an elegant finish.

How close is it to Giorgio Armani Pivoine Suzhou?

Very close. We build the same refined peony around mandarin, raspberry, peony and rose, keeping the elegant Armani Prive character at a fraction of the price.

How can it cost so much less than Giorgio Armani Pivoine Suzhou?

Most of the price of a luxury eau de parfum fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Giorgio Armani Pivoine Suzhou?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is made for anyone who loves a refined, elegant peony floral for spring and daytime.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
