La Chasse aux Papillons
A soft, luminous white‑floral eau de toilette where jasmine and linden drift into a sheer, creamy orange blossom, evoking long, sunlit days and the carefree lightness of chasing butterflies.
Scent Development and Character
La Chasse aux Papillons Eau de Toilette moves like a veil of sunlit white petals: a soft jasmine accord rises first, brightened by a gentle, green-citrus lift, then melts into the tender, pollen-dusted nuance of linden blossom. As it dries down, orange blossom lends a sheer, creamy-white glow, keeping the composition luminous and airy rather than heavy, with a quiet musky softness close to the skin.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
On skin, La Chasse aux Papillons EDT wears as an airy, intimate white floral: bright and joyful at first, then increasingly gauzy and close. It feels particularly at home in warm weather, pairing easily with casual dresses, linen shirts, and understated daytime looks, but its softness also makes it office‑safe and suitable for relaxed evening occasions when a discreet bouquet is preferred. Best suited to spring and summer, when its airy white florals and soft citrus‑green facets feel most natural; it can also work in mild early autumn, but may feel too delicate in very cold weather. Projection is gentle to moderate at arm’s length in the opening, quickly settling into a close, diaphanous aura; it is unlikely to fill a room and is perceived as an intimate, understated trail. On most skins the Eau de Toilette lasts around 3–5 hours before fading into a very soft skin scent, with more radiance in the first hour and noticeably delicate persistence thereafter.
Perfumer and Bottle
Released in 1999, this is an Eau de Toilette credited to Anne Flipo. Current La Chasse aux Papillons Eau de Toilette is presented in L'Artisan Parfumeur’s modern faceted cylindrical bottle: clear glass with multiple vertical facets, a metallic cap, and a front label bearing the brand name and fragrance name. Packaging is a light-toned outer box emphasizing the airy, summery white-floral theme.
