Pivoine by Manos Gerakinis celebrates the captivating beauty of the peony in a graceful blend of juicy fruit, romantic florals, and soft leather. Inspired by the flower's timeless elegance and its connection to ancient Greek mythology, the fragrance opens with crisp red apple, creating a fresh, inviting sweetness. At its heart, lush peony unfolds alongside delicate jasmine, romantic rose, and subtly spicy carnation, forming a radiant floral bouquet that feels both sophisticated and effortlessly charming.
As the fragrance develops, smooth suede leather introduces a velvety softness that beautifully complements the luminous floral heart. The contrast between vibrant fruit, delicate petals, and refined leather creates a balanced composition with a modern, sensual character. Elegant, expressive, and beautifully versatile, Pivoine captures the timeless charm of blooming peonies in a fragrance that feels both graceful and distinctive.

Manos Gerakinis’s vision of the fragrance brand was clear: he wanted the wearer to become the pole of attraction for those around him and to be a lasting memory long after.
Manos, given name Emmanouil, a world class traveler whose life specialized him in fine luxury, was born in North Greece but lived abroad most of his life. Coming from a ship owner family that originates in Istanbul meant that his grandparents would take him traveling around the world. He was charmed by different cultures while growing to love classical music and developing his natural talent for painting. His grandmother who was a fine art lover, introduced him to the french 'Savoir Faire' and insisted on him taking painting classes for almost ten years. Manos favourite themes are women and flowers, especially roses.
Since a young boy he started collecting scents and fragrances in order to captivate these memories. He knew since then that a fragrance is one's little treasure and as such it should be unique, mysterious and poetic. He is the editor of every single perfume to its last detail and each one narrates a story of their own. His scents can take you to various places, from walking down Champs Elysees to the Arab souk markets, from a summer night in Greece to a Japanese flower garden.
“A fragrance is more than an ideal combination of essential oils. It is a great journey through time, places and emotions.”
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
