About This Perfume
Pivoine Souveraine by Houbigant is a fragrance for women. Pivoine Souveraine was launched in 2023. Top notes are Pink Pepper, elemi and Clementine; middle notes are Peony, Rose and Jasmine; base notes are Musk, Tea and Sandalwood. Pivoine Souveraine opens unexpectedly with precious spicy notes that evolve into a subtle peony in the heart, enhanced by a bouquet of roses and delicate jasmine, followed by musk, sandalwood and tea leaves. This romantic and serene scent is clear and comforting and is best enjoyed on a beautiful floral path. It is a beautiful floral combination that will transport you to a spring day, when the light of the early hours remains cool and pure.
