Classic Peony

I have to respectfully disagree with the last reviewer. I don't find this perfume to be boring...simple, yes...but not boring. I have been waiting for this to show up in the data base for at least a year. I found a bottle of this at a thrift store around that time and could not find anything on line about it. I have to be honest and say that I have never ever smelled a real, live peony. I think they're beautiful flowers but I have no idea what they smell like. According to the same reviewer ( Hyacinth Bucket ;0) this must be what peonies smell like...and if it is.....yum! I tend to gravitate toward Orientals and spicy scents ( Tabu being one of my favorites...also by Dana) but Classic Peony is the flip side of the coin for me and I was pleasantly surprised...soft...soapy....creamy....clean. It reminds me the tiniest bit of Glo by JLo which I find to be incredibly artificial smelling....I don't see Peony listed as a note in Glo either...go figure. They both have an "out-of-the-bath" vibe about them but Classic Peony has a lot more depth and is far less harsh.....much more natural smelling to me. My husband likes it when I wear this but, to be fair, he loves soapy, creamy, clean perfumes on me. If I want to please both of our noses, this is one I reach for. I have no idea if this is still being produced or not...but I hope that when I run out, I'll be able to find another bottle easily and not have to spend much either.

Dana Classic Peony is very soft, fresh, with moderate projection and lasting power. On my skin, it's mostly a pure peony scent. The gardenia and spices listed are virtually non-detectable, with hints of them added only to give a touch more depth and lasting power to the delicate, uplifting true scent of the peony flower. Classic Peony is a very refreshing, uplifting, natural smelling floral, perfect for welcoming Spring and Summer.

To my nose, the notes above are incorrect. Classic Peony is a soft soliflore, with peony interpreted as a tea rose scent. It has pretty good sillage (arms length with one spray) lasts quite well, and is pleasant. Okay, it's also inexpensive. It's about as basic as a scent gets. There is no gardenia or spice that I can detect. This would be the perfect perfume for someone who feels a burning desire to wear perfume, but doesn't want it to be interesting. I'm confused as to why a perfume house would release this. And the fact that Dana is the house that brought us Tabu makes it that much weirder. Classic Peony takes boring and raises it about twelve notches, until it is so unbelievably boring that it is almost an act of art.

This perfume is a simple floral I wear this as my daily scent it seems good inexpensive I actually I get complimented !!!!!! My mom likes it she said it smells masculine on me but everytime i wear it she says it smells good lol

This is a very nice floral. Smells great on me, expensive. Even, though it was not. Dana has had many nice scents through out the years.
