Musk Butterfly

Musk Butterfly

Musk Butterfly opens with a bright aldehydic rose accord, soon veiled by green-violet nuances before settling into a tender cocoon of ambrette musk and creamy sandalwood that feels like luminous, perfumed soap on skin.

Scent Development and Character

A luminous floral aldehydic musk where sparkling aldehydes and a trio of roses meet airy green violet leaves, softening into a cocoon of ambrette musk and smooth sandalwood with a delicate, powdery sheen.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Editorial estimate: best suited to daytime and office wear, as well as understated evening occasions where a polished but intimate trail is desired; performs especially well in temperate to slightly warm weather. Best in spring and autumn, with some versatility into mild winter and cooler summer days. Sillage is Estimated moderate to above-moderate sillage, forming a noticeable but refined aura rather than a heavy cloud. Longevity is Estimated long-lasting: around 7–9 hours on skin, with a more persistent trail on fabric.
