La Chasse aux Papillons appeared in 1999. Anne Flipo composed it for L'Artisan Parfumeur. The house files a childhood memory in it: games under a summer sky, meadows in flower, butterflies. Three declared materials — jasmine, linden blossom, orange blossom — over an opening of bergamot, lemon blossom and pink pepper.
Six materials over two tiers, three of which the house alone puts forward.
Three declared materials
The house page keeps only three names: jasmine, which it ties to Jasminum grandiflorum and sambac, linden blossom, Tilia europaea, and orange blossom, Citrus aurantium amara. It publishes no tier for them.
The opening and the bouquet
Its launch description, relayed in France by Printemps, gives a fresh, peppery start in which bergamot, lemon blossom and pink pepper enter, and a floral middle built on orange blossom, jasmine and linden blossom. That is the order kept here.
No base material is published, neither by the house nor anywhere else. The tier therefore stays empty, for want of being written down.
What stays outside
Victoria Frolova hears a tuberose under the bouquet, and The Perfume Society places it in the middle. The house never names it for this juice and keeps it for the Extrême: it stays in prose.
What the label declares
Fourteen entries: denatured alcohol, water, parfum, benzyl salicylate, benzyl alcohol, an antioxidant, methyl 2-octynoate, and seven regulated allergens — linalool, limonene, hydroxycitronellal, benzyl benzoate, geraniol, citral, farnesol. No substance banned in the European Union appears there. Printemps and 24S serve the same one, word for word.
