Holy Peony

Delightful floral, fruity scent that is done in a feminine and elegant way. Nothing loud or heavy. Perfectly blended. It's subtle, light and fresh, yet it has a floral-fruity vibrancy. Initially, when I tested it several months ago, I didn't completely like it, but I tested in fall again and now I think it's one of my top 5 fresh scents from Dior Privee/Maison line. It's versatile - I would wear it for many occasions. It's polished yet fun. I do understand the references to Dior Blooming Bouquet because of the note overlap. They aren't very similar but are in the same ballpark. Blooming Bouquet is lighter, ultra feminine, delicate and innocent, while Holy Peony is a more confident and grown up sister (thanks to fruity notes). More importantly, it has a powdery touch that distinguishes it from Blooming Bouquet. I'm very impressed with vast majority of scents from the Dior Privee/Maison line. They're elegant, inoffensive, sophisticated and perfectly blended. Good for work and for occasions when you want to project put-together type of image. Even a friend who doesn't care about perfumes and who tested Dior Privee/Maison scents with me, was surprised and admitted that these are really good fragrances. I cannot comprehend why Dior didn't add atomizers to the 10ml bottles in the discovery set. I would pay extra for a spray bottle.

I forgot how much I love this! It might be another pink floral but it is a unique one! I cannot compare it to anything else and for me it is worth the price! It is beautiful, delicate, gentle but with an amazing longevity and sillage. Normally I would think it a spring/summer scent but I love it even in the cold weather we have now. It could totally be a signature as it is unique and memorable. I used to like La colle noire more but now I prefer Holy Peony. Will definitely be buying another bottle when this one runs out. I would recommend for test to lovers of gentle floral scents.

Holy Peony by Christian Dior is what my dreams are made of, this is literally fulfilling all of my floral fragrance fantasies! The peonies are soapy, clean, and elegant with the roses adding a lush, tender sweetness and juicy strawberries drizzled in fresh apricot nectar. I had my mind made up a long time ago about what my bridal fragrance would be and this is the only other fragrance to challenge what I had originally decided on. Yes, Holy Peony is to die for – I can’t say enough good things about it!

I find it interesting some reviewers are calling this boring. It's really quite beautiful and simplistic (intentionally so). The peony and rose are intentionally supposed to be the attention here and Demachy did so beautifully. So if you want something more in depth, this really isn't it. It's meant to celebrate peony and rose, and it's done so in a delicate way. It's not loud or harsh. The other notes really soften the two. It's just lovely light and feminine.

It’s far too expensive, but it is absolutely beautiful you will draw so many compliments wearing this. It does not smell anything close to Miss Dior blooming Bouquet or Miss Dior edt at all! Holy Peony is one of the most beautiful feminine floral perfumes in the world. Gorgeous! I think that £89 for a 40ml is cruel so I am layering fragrances at home to create a perfect dupe because I love the fragrance it’s so brilliantly pretty. Very long lasting too!
