Butterfly Eau de Parfum

Although Hanae Mori went to study literature at La Sorbonne, she returned home shortly after and began studying design. Her first couture atelier opened in 1951 in Tokyo. In 1995, the perfume Hanae Mori Butterfly was born. Thanks to the butterfly, which became her muse, her first fragrance met with international success.

Butterfly, the unique scents of the butterfly

Legend has it that a fabulous butterfly with translucent, sparkling wings came to rest on little Hanae's cradle from the very first day of her life, and never left her again… While it is true that Hanae Mori means forest flower, no one knows what prompted this butterfly to never leave little Hanae Mori. For this young girl who spent a great deal of time in nature, the butterfly became a source of inspiration, never leaving her side. It was therefore only natural that she decided to name her first perfume Butterfly. Loving and respectful of nature, Hanae Mori designed her perfume with total respect for the environment, choosing ecologically responsible ingredients and packaging.

The subtle blend of flowers and red fruits in Hanae Mori Butterfly

This voluptuous nectar appears as an ode to memories, to childhood. On the agenda for Hanae Mori Butterfly: elegance and romance… While Hanae Mori took a risk by not following the classic olfactory pyramid, Butterfly remains rich in meaning and beauty. For the gourmand side, there is almond tree and praline. On the red fruits side, blackcurrant and blackberry blend harmoniously to create a gourmand marmalade. It is peony, Hanae Mori's favorite flower, that brings the feminine aspect to the composition. The whole is enhanced by sensual notes of vanilla. The base is composed of cedarwood and rosewood, wrapping the composition in warmth. The sweetness of Hanae Mori Butterfly is gourmand and deliciously surprising. As for the bottle, it is understated and refined. Its lines are slender, its originality residing in the cap. Shaped like a butterfly with folded crystal wings, the cap reaffirms Hanae Mori's inspiration and gives the bottle a unique, elegant character.

Hanae Mori's first fragrance, Butterfly is astonishing. At once alluring, sensual, yet very daring, Butterfly reveals the sensitivity of its young creator. Because, according to legend, the butterfly is Hanae Mori's lucky charm, she decided to pay tribute to it here, as well as to nature and the forest, dear to her heart. Utterly feminine, Hanae Mori Butterfly reflects a woman who is beautiful, gourmand, sensual, and elegant in all circumstances.
