Giorgio Armani Privé Pivoine Suzhou

Named after the city famous for its classical gardens and peony blossoms, this scent is a celebration of floral opulence tempered by fresh, fruity accents.
Created by perfumers Cecile Matton and Julie Massé, Pivoine Suzhou is a women's fragrance that balances the lushness of peony and rose with the crispness of raspberry and mandarin. It is available in both Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum concentrations, with the EDP offering slightly more depth and longevity.
