Jo Malone London Peony & Blush Suede
Red apple, full peony, soft suede
Peony & Blush Suede is built around one flower. The brand's picture is peonies in voluptuous bloom in an English garden, flirtatious with the juicy bite of red apple and softened by blush suede. It is a Cologne, listed here as a scent for women, and the peony carries delicate rose and honey accents.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
A bite of red apple
Red apple opens the scent. The brand calls its bite juicy and flirtatious, so expect a crisp, bright and lightly sweet start, closer to the skin of an apple than to candy. It gives the flowers behind it a fresh, clean lift.
-
Peony in full bloom
Peony is the centre: voluptuous, soft and rounded. The brand gives it delicate rose and honey accents, so the flower leans pink and slightly warm rather than green. As the only flower in the pyramid it has the stage to itself, and the heart reads as full and generous, not busy.
-
Soft suede
Suede closes the scent, supple and warm. It is a texture more than a smell: a smooth, gentle warmth under the peony that keeps the flowers from turning too sweet. The finish is soft and stays close. Nothing in the base is sharp.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Peony & Blush Suede suits spring and summer, daytime, weddings, brunch and garden parties, and evenings that call for something soft. Spray it on the wrists and neck, and add a spray on the chest for a fuller effect. It fits light fabrics and clear skies.
Who it is for
For people who like romantic, rounded florals with a fruit lift and a gentle base, and want something soft rather than sharp. Floral is its family on the brand's site, and the listing marks it as a women's scent. If you prefer dry woods or fresh citrus, this will feel too flowery.
Why choose Jo Malone London Peony & Blush Suede
Created in 2013 by perfumer Christine Nagel, it is a floral built from only three named notes: red apple, peony, suede. The brand lists it among its bestsellers and keeps the focus where the name puts it, on the peony, with apple for freshness and suede for texture.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is the suede heavy or soft?
Soft. The brand describes it as a supple, warm texture, and it works as a gentle finish under the peony rather than a leathery one.
Is it very sweet?
Lightly. The red apple brings a juicy bite, the peony carries rose and honey accents and the suede softens things, but the overall tone is floral and round rather than sugary.
Is it a good gift?
For someone who likes soft florals, yes: it is listed as a women's scent, the pyramid is easy to describe and the apple keeps it from feeling heavy.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
