Dryad from Papillon Artisan Perfumes is a beautiful tribute to the vintage green chypre perfumes of yesterday. This perfume captures the musty, mystical atmosphere of an old, enchanted forest. When first applied to the skin, Dryad has a very distinct scent of bitter galbanum, aromatic herbs, and bright citrus. These three notes create a connection to the wildness of nature that is instant.
As the crisp, green edges become softer, a rich heart of narcissus, broom and jasmine develops into a lush, golden floral tapestry. This tapestry is then layered upon earthy oakmoss, vetiver and animalic leather. The dry down is dark, mossy and nostalgic.
This is the perfect choice for those who love uncompromisingly vintage bold green chypres, but it possesses a distinct, modern density and artisanal craftsmanship.
