About

Pupa is Perfume Parlour's budget take on By Kilian Musk Butterfly. It opens with Geranium, Aldehydes, Turkish Rose, leads into a heart of Violet Leaf, Violet, and dries down to Sandalwood, Ambrette. The overall character is floral with powdery and aromatic facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
