L'OCCITANE Pivoine Flora Solid Perfume Review

L'OCCITANE Pivoine Flora Solid Perfume

I would have never pick up this vintage little tin if it was not because I had to top up my purchase in order to receive a free gift set. Well I was almost there and I would want to try out there latest Aromachologie collection! What more for free.

This pretty little tin of Pivoine (pronounced as "pi-vua-ne" or Peony in English) Flora solid perfume retails at SGD 18. The sales girl totally sold it to me. I asked her what is this? Is it lip balm? She chuckled a little and explain that it's actually perfume, but you're right that it is commonly mistaken as a lip balm, it is also as easy to carry like a lip balm in your purse! Made perfect sense to me. I do like putting on light floral scrent fragrance and my favorite to date is still the Paul Smith Rose. However I find that the spray releases a large amount that sometimes I am concerned the scent might me too strong, especially when I can still smell it myself. This little tin will be perfect for me to carry it around!

I was trying out all 3 scents in the store. The Rose is definitely too strong. The Cherry Blossom is too light. I couldn't get a distinct liking for this Pivoine Flora at first. The scent is definitely mild enough for my liking, however I was still uncertain. Nonetheless if I have to pick one it will have to be this. 

Turns out after I arrived home, and after un-boxing my today's haul, I open the solid perfume up to put it on, I absolutely love the scent! I guess my sense of smell just got clouded after sniffing too many products in the store.

Oh and this thing makes me think I smell like an atas tai-tai too ;)
