Stella Peony

Stella Peony presents a delicate, airy bouquet centered on fresh peony with subtle notes of freesia, lotus, and geranium, accented by a dry, slightly spicy woodiness from cedar, pepper, and patchouli. The fragrance opens with a crisp, green freshness that evolves into a soft, polished floral with a layered dry-down dominated by the woody and pepper notes. It feels modern and restrained, with an elegant transparency that makes it suitable for daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer. While some find it refreshingly balanced, others report it tends to be monochromatic, fading quickly with only moderate sillage and limited longevity. The fragrance shares strong similarities with the original Stella in Two Peony, especially in its central floral profile and base, though it is often described as less rich, slightly synthetic, and lacking the full depth of the classic version. Some wearers appreciate the clean, refined aesthetic, while others experience it as too sharp, masculine, or underdeveloped, particularly in its long-term wear and development.
