Lovely!
I find Papilio to be a very intriguing scent. Not entirely feminine, nor masculine, the fragrance plays an elaborate game of hide and seek with my senses. Both comforting and elevating, Papilio is the kind of perfume that becomes a safe place for the one who wears it.

To my nose, Papilio openes up with a delicate bouquet of flowers. Picturesque magnolias, colorful heliotrope, luminous neroli and lily of the valley step into the light, like a warm hug. ”What a diaphanous scent!”, I said to myself. Then, something changed. A new facet of Papilio was revealed.

A harmoniously crafted fusion of woody notes intertwined with supple leather and a rather fruity-floral accord emerged. Soft suede and cedarwood create an elegant and kind of a masculine effect on my skin. Papilio becomes an infusion of power, whispering at my ear: ”You can do it! The world is your oyster!” and what an amazing feeling that is, to feel confident, to know both your weak points and your strength and own them both gracefully!

As time goes by, Papilio blends perfectly into my skin. I get whiffs of perfume with every move I make. We are one. The longevity is exceptional, with an arm length sillage.

Papilio is true to the Puredistance spirit and vision – a timeless scent, not following the trends. A fragrance that was born in one’s heart before materializing. Perfect for a signature scent and just as amazing as a comfort scent. Just like a butterfly, Papilio spreads its wings and leaves nothing but beauty and elegance behind.

Nostalgic and mood enhancing
I gave this fragrance to myself for my birthday - and I loved it immediately, so familiar and nostalgic it seems to me: it smells of October, of the damp autumn leaves on a sunny day in the park, and of my mother's leather wallet, which I can still remember, because it was her favorite for years - buttery soft, made of the delicate noble pink leather.
The fragrance is multi-faceted yet balanced and natural, nothing is too much about it. Opening - opulent, fruity, fresh but not sharp. Somewhat tart base, but not bitter or biting, but enveloping, heartwarming. Durability - very good, sillage - not slaying, rather close to the body. An all-rounder, for everyday wear as well as for special occasions the right thing.
I feel very comfortable with it - Papilio is definitely an enrichment of my fragrance collection.

High blend quality. Opens powdery/fruity/floral; creamy/earthy tones ramp as it dries w/ some nutty facets. Not the most modern. Feminine.
