"The hunt for butterflies" is a name for this fragrance that I find rather inappropriate, just as inappropriate as the bottle itself. I would rather speak of a flight with the butterflies, the bottle should be multicolored, bright and convey cheerful movement.
This already indicates the direction in which this beautiful fragrance goes for me, even if I needed some time to learn how to fly with the butterflies, because they first flew to jasmine. As a jasmine critic, this immediately frightened me off during my first test years ago. Only the spontaneous perception of "jasmine" was enough to wash it off immediately.
Yeah, I'm terribly picky about jasmine. I used to like jasmine more than ever, but I didn't know much about it. In the course of my three years of perfumery, I've already gotten to know a number of jasmine notes, which I like after all. And I have noticed that jasmine and orange blossom together intensify my jasmine problem, while the simultaneous presence of tuberose can make jasmine palatable to me. Also YlangYlang sometimes succeeds in soothing the jasmine and taking its tip off so that I like it.
In La Chasse aux Papillons they are now all three in there, so that the jasmine and the orange blossom each have a softener. This will be one of the reasons why I can find jasmine beautiful here and perceive it more like honeysuckle, i.e. Jelängerjelieber, also a white-flowering herb, also often indolent, but strangely enough I find these characteristics of the honeysuckle beguiling, while I often find jasmine piercing-cutting annoying.
So, jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom and ylang ylang become yelang yelper for me. The butterflies have already visited five different flowers with their colourful lightness. If we add lemon blossom, which I feel very similar to orange blossom and cannot tell the difference here, then we already have six.
Now also lime blossom is listed in the pyramid. I love real lime blossom scent very much. I don't find it in La Chasse aux Papillons, but it may be that this note also contributes to my Jelängerjelieber-Melange.
That would be the end of it.
La Chasse aux Papillons consists only of this wonderful, luxuriant and yet in its way light flower combination, in which for me besides the lemon and lime blossom all are also individually perceptible, but in which overall and in the foreground "honeysuckle" is formed.
In the beginning I feel the intensity very strong, but it quickly subsides and already after 3-4 hours I wish myself more of the beguiling intensity back. Even if the scent is still discreetly perceptible for a few more hours and survives the next day on clothes, I would have preferred Jelängerjelieber even longer.
But half as bad: so I stick to my motto to spray earlier than to have to endure a never-ending, tantalizingly sticky musk or cashmeran base, which perhaps can not even be washed off.
