But after coming across so many celebrity scents with the same formula (nondescript flower + random choice of fruit + vague musk + arbitrary piece of wood) and the same premise - it did lose a fair amount of its lustre. In hindsight, this perfume is quite fun and original for its time. It's a little too sticky-sweet to my taste, and without enough darkness to sustain my interest (I like sweet, but I also like a bit more of an edge to a scent - which is why I so enjoy L by Lolita Lempicka - the warmth of the cinnamon and the hint of immortelle really balance all the vanilla and musk overload). More vanilla and sweetness will come along further as it develops on the skin. So perhaps this is not entirely sugar and fluff. Another interesting element that comes out is sandalwood.
Sephora hanae mori butterfly skin#
It reminds me of the insane Japanese bubble gum I had long time ago, the one that turns your skin into a rose-smelling bed of red hives.
Rose that is slightly green, yet also sweet and juicy-citrusy. After a few good minutes, the rose peeks out of its hiding place. It took the gourmand sweetness of classics such as Eau de Charlotte (based on chocolate and cassis) to a new level of exaggerated sweetness. It envelopes with a smooth, sweet (and not sickening, yet) aura of fun-loving innocence. Creamy heliotropin creates an almondy nuance, and alongside strawberry-flavoured saltwater taffy, it is hard to imagine a little girl who won't like it.
But cotton candy is the true star of the show for the next few minutes. The beginning is somewhat fresh, with hints of crisp apples, and light citrusy rose and strawberry. While Angel and Lolita Lempicka had sweet notes that sugar-coated a very bold base dominated by patchouli and vetiver respectively - Hanae Mori's goes straight to the candy. It is probably the fragrance that have set the trend for the myriads of sugary fruity-florals that dominate the celebrity scent world. The sweet flowery smell of this perfume indeed makes every women feel like a butterfly, beautiful and feminine.Created in 1996, Hanae Mori's eponymus scent* is as young as my daughter (which is a perenial if not a "classic" in current perfume lifespan terms) and is about as girly as could be. The cap is sculpted in the shape of closed wings of a butterfly. The bottle is plain to look at, but the cap comes with a twist. This is something very rare and special.Ĭoming to the packaging, it comes in white box with blue butterflies on it. This means it does not dry down, the perfume smells same even hours after application as it smells at the time of application. Another very interesting thing about this fragrance is that this is a linear fragrance. However, after 6 hours, one needs to hug you to feel this fragrance. It is not so strong that everyone in the lift will notice your smell even after you leave, but one can notice it if standing with you in the queue. I apply 3-4 sprays of it in the morning and the smell lingers on me almost 9-10 hours and sometimes throughout the day (when not much outdoor activity). On staying power also, it scores very well. I have been lucky enough to try my hands on Hanae Mori Butterfly EDP and all thanks goes to IMBB for that. Hanae Mori Butterfly perfume range is one of them, it has perfume Oil, EDP, EDT and perfumed lotions and creams. It seems that she has been fascinated by butterflies a lot and that reflects in her creations too. Because of all her achievements, she is widely regarded as an icon of liberated women. While reading about her, I came to know that she is the only Japanese women to present her collection on runways of Paris and NY. Reason being it’s not easily available in India and we Bangaloreans are still deprived of Sephora 😛 So, coming to the perfume, this has been designed by the famous Japanese Designer Hanae Mori. Frankly speaking, before seeing this product in Sponsored products list, I was not aware about this perfume. As designer perfumes are timeless, so I decided to pick a perfume from the list, and this time, I went for Hanae Mori Butterfly EDP. However, finally my leave is approved and I am going to visit my parents and my parents in law at the end of this month and I am super excited about it 🙂 Coming to today’s review, this is my pick from December’s IMBB Sponsored product list. I am going very busy from the last one month, office work and daily chores is driving me insane and I am dying for a break.
