Dolce Peony

I received a sample of this from a friend as she didn’t like it, after wearing it for a day I went and bought a full bottle, I LOVE IT. I actually think it feels really quite versatile, it is very sweet and pretty and girly, so I could definitely see young people wearing it, but it has an elegance and class to it which would appeal to people who aren’t young. It’s got a beautiful plum note at the top, and through the middle is very flowery, I think it’s just stunning, and the layers are lovely. I’ve seen the longevity be spoken about, and yes it isn’t very strong in longevity and sillage, however, I could still smell it slightly on my clothes the next day. Price is mid range, for something as nice as this I’d be happy to pay even more. I will enjoy wearing this for a long time to come I think.

My boyfriend recently got me this for my birthday (he knows peonies are my favorites) and I LOVE it! It really reminds me of Guess Seductive Blue, but comparing them, this one is softer and more floral, more everyday and elegant. Performance isn’t great but I didn’t expect it to be as a fruity floral, probably get three to four hours on it before it’s a really soft skin scent. Overall really nice, the Dolce collection are all very likable but I do find them to be overpriced based on performance, so get on a discounter if possible!

Amazing fragrance. Only for those of you that enjoy Sour Patch Kids Gummi candy. It actually does smell good. There is something tropical about it too. You might not think you want to smell like a sour gummi candy, but you probably will after this experience. I think it leans more to a younger lady but what do I know. Anyone could wear it. These days anything goes.

This is something else! While the original Dolce didn't impress me in any sense of this word, this flanker is a gorgeous floral firework. It's sweet, but not sickly sweet, tempting, but not straight seductive. Mirabelle is quite an uncommon note in fragrances, and here it definitely rounds up the composition rather organically.

This is so gorgeous! I absolutely love it! Super fresh, sweet, and woody. Mixing peony and freesia with syrupy honey and plum along with a little patchouli is a wonderful combination. I find the longevity to be pretty good too. My favorite from the Dolce line, although I haven't tried Shine yet.

Delicate, feminine and a hint of gourmand, which makes this a perfect floral for a gourmand girl like myself. I love it and I don’t even care that it isn’t a heavy hitter, I smell like a god damn Disney princess wearing this.💕💜 Christophe Raynaud would have to be my favourite perfumer.

I love this scent. It's sweet, fresh and bold. Smells like summer bouquet and fresh fruits, but don't expect typical peony scent. Very joyful and cheerful smell. It stays for several hours on my skin.

The perfume is so lovely, it makes you feel like you're a soft and gentle person when you use it. Anyway it smells exactly like MODERN PRINCESS by Lanvin with higher price...

Definitely the best Dolce I have smelled. Smells like floral air (in the best way possible) and the sillage is incredible.

This smells like happiness and purple flowers and more flowers and twirling around in a field alone in a white dress.

I’ll be honest: for a long time, I didn't think I liked this girl. In the heat or even moderate humidity, Dolce Peony felt like she was screaming at me. There is a "thickness" to the floral profile here—likely the Mirabelle plum and honey base—that can feel suffocating and cloying if you catch it on a warm day. It felt less like a garden and more like being trapped in a greenhouse with a floral air freshener turned up to max volume. But then... the temperature dropped. Tonight, 63°F, and I’ve discovered the secret. I’m wearing my PJs and I’ve sprayed only on my clothing to keep things light. In this specific "Goldilocks" climate, the fragrance has completely transformed. Gone is the "loud" floral assault; in its place is an incredibly clean, feminine, and high-end "detergent" vibe. The Nashi pear provides a crunchy, watery freshness that keeps the peony from feeling dated, while the freesia gives it that soapy, laundry-day sparkle. It feels sophisticated, effortless, and deeply comforting. Who is she? This is for the woman who loves a "clean girl" aesthetic but wants a bit more color than a standard white musk. She’s polished, organized, and probably has the most aesthetic linen closet you've ever seen. Where to wear? It is the ultimate "Office/Work" scent because it radiates "I am clean and have my life together." However, as I’ve found, it’s also the perfect "Cozy Night In" scent when you want your loungewear to smell like a luxury boutique hotel. Not everyone agrees on wearing this at night, but I've broken the rules lol. Final Verdict: Don't judge her in July! Wait for a cool evening, spray your favorite cotton sweater or PJs, and let the soapy-sweet magic happen. Longevity: 6/10 (Better on clothes!) Sillage: 8/10 (She projects, so go easy!) Vibe: Luxury Laundry / Springtime in Sicily I won't repurchase this as I don't find myself wanting to reach for it in the winter, and spring is very short in my area. I wouldn't go near it in the summer personally!

I really enjoy this fragrance. I love Versace Bright Crystal & Bright Crystal Absolu, so I thought a perfume named "Peony" would be a simular scent, but it is not. But that is not a bad thing. It's a unique take on peony, and if the projection and lasting power was a little stronger, it would be one of my favorites. When I first got this perfume, I was delighted by the bottle. Purple, with the classy black bow, and purple flower cap. Delightful. But when I sprayed this on a card, I could only smell a super light pear, that faded from the card super quickly. So then my delight turned to disappointment, and I put the bottle away in a box to be forgotten. I only tried it on my skin this morning, over a month later, and I am really glad I did! The notes I get on my skin are pear, peony, mirabelle plum, and honey. The pear and peony smell you get at first is very uplifting and pretty, and the dry down is that beautiful plum and honey, which is super comforting. It lasted about two hours, so not great, but this would be a great uplifting weekend & jeans perfume, that you can spray all over you every two hours, without offending anyone who lives with you. :) It would also be great for work, because it is very inoffensive. I will enjoy every last drop, and appreciate the beautiful bottle, but I will not repurchase, and I probably wouldn't buy any of the other Dolce perfumes in this range.

I have purchased my creams from Sisley and Burberry Her in Planet Perfume in Brussel. One of the associate have gave me a sample of this fragrance. I must admit the violet, little bottle was few days in my bag.... then I was in rush to go for shopping and I said ok let me spray and test it. WOW I didn't even know this fragrance is from this year... somehow the bottle looks like the begining of 90's and if I didn't get a sample I would never take it to test it myself in the store. I love how pretty it is! Flowery and magical... other ingrediens.. make me feel so special... I dream about a normal size bottle. even thought I don't like the design of it. Near new Chloe l'eau - and Peony are my top of 2019. What is mystery to me... this scent is changing my mood. I am happier and I see so much sunny area.. near me... in my opinion its a mood stimulator... but how... Dolce Gabbana made it I have no clue.... Freezia always makes me feel so feminen, there are some woods notes also...The combination of it is really...charming.... I like how girly and funny scent is I smile when I write that review because I miss that scent near me. I cant wait for my paycheck. :-0

Hard to describe. It is a floral, but not your usual floral. It is sweet but not a gourmand. It is fruity but you can't pinpoint what fruit it is. All together this is an extremely joyful, floral, juicy, zesty, satisfyingly sweet scent, where everything is blended so well together that you just can't stop sniffing yourself and smile. It differs from some other fruity floral scents for the fact that it has some substance at the base. You won't necessarily detect the patchouly and the ambroxan but they are there to lock the other notes and give body to the whole, making it wearable in both the cold and the warm weather. To make it last, I spray it on my hair and cloths - on skin it disappears quite fast, but on fiber it is extremely persistent. I was quite underwhelmed from the first scents of the Dolce series, then I was positively surprised by Dolce Garden, a very nicely done white floral with a remarkable performance in terms of longevity and sillage, but this one now has really stolen my heart.

This shouldn’t be called Dolce Peony, but Dolce Plum. I barely even get peony in this, but the mirabelle plum is the main notes from the opening to the final drydown. There are also some floral notes, but they’re fresh and watery, more freesia and cyclamen than peony. I also get a hint of an unlisted peach. It’s a shampoo-ish, clean scent, the texture is a bit similar to D&G L’Imperatrice in my opinion. But I also understand the comparison to Chloé Nomade: The mirabelle is similarly tart and fresh and the base has some sharpness and warmth from the patchouli and amber (amber is listed on the D&G site instead of the ambroxan on fragrantica). This is lighter and sweeter though, less earthy. Overall it’s a well-done fruity floral for warmer days, not too sweet, not too sour, with good drydown a thirst-quenching fruity freshness. Not a love or must-have to me, but a strong like.

I love peonies, they were my wedding flower, so I got a sample of this fragrance to try. It’s not a complex take on peony, but rather a fresh one! It’s joyful and sweet, light in constitution. I was enjoying trying it out for fun, but then my husband told me I smell great and asked me what I was wearing.. I wear perfume every day and though my collection is ever expanding, it’s not often my husband takes note or compliments what I am wearing. So, I decided that I will buy a bottle to enjoy! Update: I have received my bottle, I just wish it lasted longer.. I can see myself going through this very quickly! Got it for a great price though, so not too concerned. Will try spraying my hair and clothing to make it last longer.

Seriously, who is naming the frags in this line? I’ve tried all the Dolce offerings, and the only one that is aptly named is Dolce Rose. With a name like Dolce Peony, I of course expected this fragrance to be very floral forward. I’m a fan of peonies and was looking forward a sweet, fresh scent. This, however, opens with a blast of plum and honey, which I wasn’t expecting until closer to the dry down. I love a good plum note, and this one is very pretty. However, it’s also very one-dimensional. I enjoy this fragrance, but as many other reviewers have pointed out, if you’re looking for a perfume that smells like peony, this isn’t it. The plum note is dominant in a way that makes all the florals take second string.

So very disappointed. I love this fragrance. I purchased a mini to sample it and I can say that I love the scent but the longevity is pathetic. On my skin, I am lucky if it will last 2 hours without reapplying. It is a fruity sweet floral scent and I adore it. The pear notes really stand out. Longevity: two hours at the most Sillage: not even at arm's length Recommend: No. As pretty as it is I don't recommend it because you will go thru a bottle really quickly with all the reapplying you will need to do. Safe blind buy: Yes because even if you don't like it, it will disappear so quickly you will have forgotten you were wearing it. Full bottle worthy: Nope. Full bottle wouldn't last very long.

I have tried several of the dolce range scents. This is definitely my favourite when it comes down to smell in general. This is my favourite smelling dolce range scent. I love peony’s and when I smelt this, I bought it immediately, without knowing I’d already smelt it and brought it somewhere else (which is rare for me!) it doesn’t have great sillage, but it is still better than most scents. And, as I will be saying on every dolce range scent review... the bottles are just adorable, they make me smile just looking at them... (and having a purple one on top of the other colours too - as my favourite smelling one? A beautiful bonus)

Improving, or better, enhancing the cyclamen note is a difficult task for my skin, and I feel it tangible here or at least my nose tells me this. But pear juice can transform its dismal perfume (my subjective perception) in this yummy, funny elixir. Pepper makes Dolce Peony thrilling while the peony note is in a hidden corner, for me. Positively amazed!
