Delicate floral with a soft suede touch.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede opens with red apple — the first impression as it hits the skin. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: peony, rose, carnation and jasmine. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is suede.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads floral, rose — easy to place and easy to wear.

Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility
