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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Purple Butterfly opens with a rich, almost syrupy sweetness that quickly folds into a heavily powdered heart. Orris and iris create a soft, velvety texture, reminiscent of high-end make-up, while a candied violet note adds a touch of playful fruitiness. As it dries, a subtle rose emerges, grounded by earthy patchouli and warm woody notes, lending an oriental depth without any sharp edges.
