![]() ![]() So the initial smell was a great promise, but after an hour of wearing, the sweet blend of fruits and florals begin the fade and what you are left with is the smell of soft, warm Vanilla. It also has this warmth to the scent that I quite enjoy. As it lands on the skin, you will start to smell the fruity notes and a hint of the Bulgarian Rose, and if you have a better sense of smell than I do, you will probably be able to smell more of the notes. Initially, straight out of the bottle, as the perfume is sprayed onto your skin, you get a huge whiff of Vanilla. The top is in a shape of a butterfly, which is very fitting for the name of the fragrance.Įven though the packaging is perfect, the perfume on the other hand is a bit of a disappointment. ![]() The bottle is simply gorgeous, yet so simple. Notes: Strawberry, Black Current, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Sandalwood, Almond, Praline. Hopefully those prices last, and this scent doesn’t suffer the same fate as Bulgari Black - the same bottles are $116 and $155 respectively on Hanae Mori’s website! (That explains the expensive-looking bottle topper."Butterfly" ~ a rare blend of berries and flowers with a distinctive tone of strawberries and almond, and a lingering impression of Vanilla.ĭistribution can be found at the Sephora website. It looks like an amorphous blob in photos (I didn’t even realize it was supposed to be a butterfly), so I was very surprised to see how nice it is in person.Īt $22 for 1.7oz, or $35 for 3.4oz (on Amazon), I would highly recommend this scent to any women, adventurous men, and non-binary folks. The semi-abstract butterfly topper is strikingly gorgeous, especially for a cheap perfume. And yet, it’s woodsy and warm enough where nobody is going to think, “why the fuck is this dude wearing girl’s perfume?” I can’t stop sniffing myself! I do smell like a fairy princess, which makes me oddly attracted to myself. And to my delight, the woodsy scent is outdoorsy and fresh, and prominent enough to the point where I will definitely be comfortable wearing this as a “men’s perfume.” The most prominent note is the vanilla-almond scent, that’s almost biscotti-like, or like a berry tart or berry chantilly cake if you factor in the berries, but without the tartness. Well, I just tried it on, and holy shit it's amazing! The berry and floral notes are more subtle than I thought - they’re still noticeable, but this is definitely not a trashy-high-school-girl perfume. Would I, a 30-year-old man, be able to pull this off? While I don’t typically care about whether a scent is marketed towards men or women, I was wondering if I was going too far this time. Some of the negative reviews said it made them smell like a trashy high-school girl a positive review said they loved it because they smelled like a fairy princess. The embodiment of nature and cosmopolitan sophistication-Butterfly invites the wearer to experience the ultimate in femininity and freedom. Here's an excerpt from the official description on the Amazon page: The one thing that worried me was just how feminine it was portrayed, in both marketing and reviews. It had the woodsy scent I was looking for, and I loved the idea of a “gourmand” berries-and-almonds scent. I found the /r/Fragrance Cheapies spreadsheet, and decided to go with /u/ViolinPlayer226’s recommendation of Hanae Mori Blue Butterfly EDP. I don’t dabble much in perfumes, but my experience with Japanese incense has fostered a love for woodsy scents (my favorites are Moss Garden by Shoyeido, and Matsuba Pine by Shunkohdo). ![]() (Why was that ever a budget fragrance to begin with‽) I wanted to try something different. ![]() I was looking for a cheap fragrance to replace my previous favorite, Bulgari Black, which has gone way up in price.
