Peonies and Sunshine
I unexpectedly received two small samples of this fragrance with a recent order. I had never heard of this fragrance nor the house Tremendous. Apparently I am not out-of-the-loop as there is practically zero coverage of this fragrance on the internet. So I decided to attempt a contribution.
From the start, the notes are intriguing. Lychee in particular draws your attention in the top. To be honest I'm not sure it's a totally accurate lychee odor, but there is a sweet and watery fruitiness that is supported by the orange. That said, the opening is not citrusy overall. The star of the show here is undoubtedly the peony. I can detect the jasmine and (less so) water lily, but the peony shines through and endures for the fragrance's respectable lifetime. There is certainly ambroxan and a vanilla-esque sweetness that supports the fresh floral notes, but it is not too heavy.
Overall this is a really nice sweet, fresh, watery peony scent. It evokes thoughts of sunshine and gentle breezes through open windows. Late mornings in clean white sheets. I am glad to see there are (as of now) equal votes for masculine and feminine classification. Perhaps this would be an unexpected smell on a more lumberjack-leaning man, but honestly with a plain white t-shirt and a dewy spring morning I think it would flourish. I am a man myself, but I love this as a leisure scent.
Peonies are my mother's favorite flowers. She plants them in her garden and sends pictures every year upon their bloom. This scent, if nothing else, holds a special place in my heart for faithfully capturing the memory of smelling those peonies soaked in the warm sun.
