Papillon Artisan Perfumes Hera is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Liz Moores. Papillon Artisan Perfumes's Hera carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Hera is a polarising floral, with some finding it a masterful, radiant golden goddess and others a challenging, even 'beastly' old-school scent. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its rich, floral character, make it less ideal for a casual office setting but perfect for dates and formal events. The 'regal' and 'golden goddess' vibe mentioned in reviews also aligns with more dressed-up occasions.

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.

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

Hera unfurls with a luminous, almost effervescent embrace of yellow and white florals, where indolic jasmine and hay-like narcissus sparkle against a soft, powdery backdrop. As it settles, a creamy, buttery orris emerges, blended with heliotrope's almond-like nuances and the gentle sweetness of ylang-ylang. The base grounds this opulent bouquet with a refined, clean musk and ambrette, creating a sophisticated and subtly earthy dry-down.
