L'Artisan Parfumeur La Chasse aux Papillons Extreme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999, created by Anne Flipo. La Chasse aux Papillons Extreme opens with Citrus, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Honey and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Ylang-Ylang. L'Artisan Parfumeur's La Chasse aux Papillons Extreme carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this floral is anything but 'Extreme' in projection, though it's certainly an extreme pleaser for white floral fans. It's a delicate, honeyed dream that works best as a personal indulgence.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Imagine a sun-drenched garden at golden hour, where creamy white and yellow florals mingle with the softest hint of apricot. A gentle breeze carries a whisper of pink pepper and saffron, adding a subtle, effervescent spice. The whole scene is softly sweetened by nectar-like honey and the lush depth of ylang-ylang, creating a warm, enveloping floral embrace that lingers close to the skin.
