Peonies For Timeless Scent

My mother used to tell me a love story when I was younger. It was about a neighbor of ours who lived in this huge plantation house built in the 1830’s. The neighbor’s mother died when both she and the mother were very young. The mother was deeply loved by her husband. He would fly in peonies from all over the world for his wife (back when flying was a luxury that almost no one could afford). Peonies were her favorite flower and also one of mine. They have one of the most endearing scents that is both timeless and infatuating. For a delectable peony scent, try Thierry Mugler Peony perfume, $87.00 at Saks.
