Seajewel Report post Posted February 22 Cotton candy peonies, rose cream, and white cognac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiam Report post Posted February 26 (edited) As fool for anything with cotton candy, I immediately ponced upon Pink Silk Peony and found it lovely and unique. On my skin, I found it very floral with the rich sweetness of the cognac but my skin ate the cotton candy and could not find any of its ethereal sweet vibe. My second testing was on the cotton cuff of my sleeve and the bright sugary "cotton candy" peony was right there! 8 hours later, my cuff is still all "rose creamy"! The White Cognac lends a bit of dryness and longevity to the experience. I like this one, not a love yet, but it is very different and I do love a Peony!

RoseThornAndOak Report post Posted March 3 I wasn't sure if this would have cotton candy, cotton candy variety peonies, or what. But it is definitely sweet, and floral, almost like a cross between A Spirit, Katie and Poinsettia Gown. Less sweet/cloying than Poinsettia, but more rosey creamy/less fresh than Katie, if that helps. There is booziness from the cognac. Something is going a tad sour on me, although not too bad thankfully compared to some blends. I'm sure a locket or applying to clothes will help, like Fiam says on a cuff or something. Although I am partial to To Lallie from this release just due to skin chemistry, this is goegeous otherwise and I think Lace fans will enjoy it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ND¢ Report post Posted March 8 Fresh from the mail. Goes on kind of a jumble with the rose strong. This is definitely a silk rose... There's a 'I'm smelling a rose scent' VS 'actual rose' vibe... Beth is a genius... slight sharpness from the 'silk rose' but the sillage is already pretty and delicate. Initially a light bit of cotton candy... Okay, the 'jumble' I smelled was rose and peony tumbling. Now it's smooth, rose is dominant, cognac is very understated and not like a hard shot of cognac. A little jammy? Verdict: pretty and worth aging but must love roses for this blend. Not a 'cotton candy' scent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LavenderCoffee Report post Posted Saturday at 10:05 PM I admit that I saw cotton candy peonies and mashed the add to cart button, but now that I've tested this a few times, I'm asking myself how I missed rose cream! Thankfully it's a note I enjoy. It has a nice amount of throw, it's not as heady as it was paired with jasmine cream in Poinsettia Gown, plus there is definitely a sweet candy aspect to the peony that balances things quite nicely. So no, not a cotton candy scent, but appropriately playful/dramatic/silly like a massive silk peony blossom. I'm not picking up on any booze from the cognac but it has a nice smooth drydown.
