Known for its delicate and fresh scent, White Peony has a long history of use in perfumery. Originating from China, the flower was used for its medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, its sweet and floral scent has made it a common ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics.

White Peony is frequently incorporated into modern fragrances to provide a fresh and floral note. Its scent is associated with spring and is often selected for creating fresh and floral fragrances.

Natural or Synthetic?
White Peony is used in both natural and synthetic forms for several reasons. The natural oil, extracted from the 'Paeonia lactiflora', is obtained through processes like steam distillation or solvent extraction. This natural oil captures the essence of White Peony's delicate floral aroma. However, due to the potential high cost and limited availability of the natural oil, synthetic alternatives are often used. These synthetic versions are created using chemical compounds to emulate the White Peony's fragrance, offering a more cost-effective and consistent option for perfumery.
