Oriflame Memories Chasing Butterflies is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Elise Bénat. Memories Chasing Butterflies opens with Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of White Flowers and Linden Tree, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Ambrette. Oriflame's Memories Chasing Butterflies carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, rare linden blossom gem, while others are less impressed with its longevity and perceived artificiality. Definitely not a blind buy unless the price is right.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its weak longevity and intimate sillage make it suitable for casual wear or environments where you don't want to overwhelm, like the office. It's not assertive enough for formal events or dates, but its freshness works well for everyday tasks or even a light sport activity.

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

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 fleeting spring morning captured in a bottle. It opens with a bright, tart pop of blackcurrant, quickly giving way to a delicate bouquet of white flowers, underscored by the unique, honeyed sweetness of linden blossom. As it dries down, a whisper of creamy vanilla and a soft, clean ambrette musk linger, creating a gentle, airy finish.
