Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Butterfly Flower opens with a bright, unusual medley of green banana peel and fresh tangerine, underscored by a subtle tea note. The heart blossoms into a verdant floral garden, where dewy orchid, sweet mimosa, and delicate lilac intertwine. It settles into a soft, clean musk with a whisper of creamy coconut, adding a gentle warmth to its natural charm.
