Scent

Scented chameleon

Never touch a butterfly by the wings, it impairs its quality of life, was always my grandfather's admonition with a raised index finger.
The wing dust, as I call it in layman's terms, consists of many small scales and enables the fluttering creature to fly stably without expending a lot of energy. If the wing is dusted by contact with our skin's own fat, this affects the butterfly, but does not necessarily lead to death, as is often mentioned.
One scale follows the next, almost like iridescent fish scales, they represent the complete color spectrum of these flyers of a summer. The rich yellow of the swallowtails contrasts with the black, the intense red and iridescent green of the rams' tails. Also the brown bear, clearly accentuated with strong colors. Add to this the beautiful sky blue of the Hauhechel blue butterfly.
That's the scent. My theory: the microparticles that detach when the wings flap attach themselves to the nasal mucosa of the wearer and leave a highly recognizable mark. Impossible to ever forget this scent again.
An iridescent masterpiece of colors in which so many individual components form a perfect whole. Shimmering aldehydes open the round of dancing moths that love to rest in the sun on the pink blossom.
Very inconspicuous at first spray, on closer perception of the fragrance a fantastic world of fragrances that are completely unspectacular on their own, but together form a potpourri that I have not often smelled in this way.
Warm, soft, subtle spiciness with a temporary sweetness. In between, there is always the wafting of a lukewarm wind, which allows the butterfly to rise only to cool itself shortly afterwards on the fresh water.
Anyone expecting a green fragrance, as the bottle might suggest, will be disappointed.
Leather? Very briefly, fine, gray suede comes to the fore, only to linger longer on other occasions. This is either due to the mood of the day or the temperature. Who knows?
Interesting this cocoa note, which remains (very) discreetly in the background, as if someone had stopped for a moment with a cup of hot chocolate and a small veil of aroma floats in our direction. Slightly nutty nuances, with powdered cream, soft and creamy.

The name of the perfume is very well chosen for this constantly changing fragrance. It always shimmers differently, and the more often I can smell it on women, the more beautiful I find it.

The price is not without its drawbacks, as already mentioned elsewhere, the word limited triggers us. This fragrance fulfills the expectations we had - unfortunately in vain - for its namesake from Puredistance.
With the green butterfly, we are now in the comfortable position of being able to spray on the radiant light, warmth and sparkling colors of summer during the darker months.
