THE PERFUMER
"When we first decided to create a floral bouquet perfume, I immediately thought of peonies due to their opulent appearance. I aimed to replicate the sensation of holding a plentiful bunch of peonies in our hands. To make the scent even more intriguing, I added blackcurrant buds absolute, which has a unique fruity green facets with a slightly animalistic touch that twists the florals to feel more androgynous. Finally, I added a bunch of vetiver Java EO to provide a woody, creamy, and rich texture. This perfume has a deep and rich scent without losing its sparkle. It's truly magical!"

THE MAGIC OF ABUNDANCE
Peony is a flower representing abundance and prosperity in many cultures. It was initially valued in ancient China for its medicinal properties before becoming a symbol of wealth and high status in imperial gardens. In Western cultures, the peony's opulent appearance and the fact that it blooms in spring—a season symbolic of renewal and growth—further reinforced its connections to abundance and new beginnings.
Peony
The peony has been revered for over 4,000 years as a symbol of wealth, honor, and beauty. In China, it is known as the "king of flowers" and celebrated at the Luoyang Peony Festival. In Greek mythology, the peony is associated with Paeon, a follower of Asclepius, the god of medicine, and became a symbol of protection and good fortune.
Fresh peony flowers have a soft, delicate floral scent with a subtle touch of sweetness. However, peony is a 'mute flower,' which means that it is impossible to extract essential oil from it. In perfumery, peony accords are created to encapsulate the flower's refined and vibrant character. Peony's floral profile is nuanced with hints of rose, lily, and occasionally even a faint hint of citrus.
In Peony & Blush Suede (Jo Malone, 2013), Christine Nagel highlights the soft, romantic side of peony by blending it with red apple, jasmine, and suede. Francis Kurkdjian captures the dewy, vibrant scent of peony in À La Rose (Maison Francis Kurkdjian, 2014), combining it with Bulgarian rose, violet, and magnolia for a luminous and sophisticated bouquet. In Delina (Parfums de Marly, 2017), Quentin Bisch showcases peony’s richness by blending it with lychee, rhubarb, and vanilla, creating an opulent and long-lasting floral composition.
Peony and Blackcurrant Buds Absolute
Peony and blackcurrant buds absolute form an irresistible sensory experience. The fresh tartness of blackcurrant buds melds with the sweet airiness of peony, resulting in a heart that brims with vibrant yet refined freshness. This exclusive combination strikes a perfect balance between fruity and floral fragrances, creating an alluring and captivating scent. The greenness of the peony and the earthiness of blackcurrant buds take the sophistication of this perfume to the next level, giving it a touch of both femininity and androgyny.
Blackcurrant Buds Absolute
Blackcurrant buds absolute, also known as "Cassis Absolute" in perfumery, is a highly valued and distinctive ingredient. Extracted from the buds of the blackcurrant bush, it brings a unique and complex fruity profile with a deep, green, and slightly animalic undertone to fragrances. Its intense nature requires careful use to enhance the fragrance without overwhelming it.
Beyond its aromatic appeal, blackcurrant buds absolute also carries connotations of luxury and sophistication, owing to its rich scent profile and the meticulous process required to extract the oil from the tiny buds. This makes it a cherished ingredient among perfumers who seek to craft fragrances with a modern twist on traditional fruity or green notes.
In “L’Ombre dans L’Eau” by Diptyque (1983), Serge Kalouguine paired blackcurrant buds absolute with Bulgarian rose and petitgrain, creating a fresh floral green scent. In Portrait of a Lady (Frédéric Malle, 2010), Dominique Ropion uses blackcurrant buds absolute alongside rose, raspberry, and patchouli, to create a rich rose perfume. In Mixed Emotions (Byredo, 2021), blackcurrant buds absolute are combined with maté, birch wood, papyrus, and violet leaves absolute, to create a deep woody perfume.
