Where to buy
Moreover, Hanaé Mori has made the butterfly the emblem of its house. It would also seem that this time it has taken on a purple version. Focus on the new fragrance from the Hanaé Mori brand: Purple Butterfly.
Hanaé Mori's enigmatic and refined Eau de Parfum
Hanaé Mori displays a singular personality. Indeed, she is a true artist whose enigmatic world is absolutely fascinating. Hanaé Mori comes from a small provincial town near Tokyo. Later, she studied literature at the Sorbonne in Paris. Yet it is a bit of both these countries that one finds in each of her creations. What is more, Hanaé Mori recounts that a mysterious butterfly is said to have landed on her cradle one day just after her birth. It is said to have never left her since. It thus became her muse and the icon of her brand. It is precisely all this poetry beyond borders that one finds in this new fragrance, enigmatic, refined and addictive. Purple Butterfly is a juice steeped in sensuality. It creates a genuine fascination around it and reviews since its release have been unanimous: Purple Butterfly is like Hanaé Mori's butterfly, once one has made its acquaintance, it becomes impossible to forget it.
The iris and powdery fragrance of Purple Butterfly
Purple Butterfly is a fragrance that quickly reveals its femininity. It is displayed here in all its facets. It is at once powdery, woody and rosy. It is first introduced by the refined presence of iris, one of the most expensive ingredients used in women's perfumery. What is more, iris is also a raw material laden with symbolism. Its name means in Greek rainbow and messenger. Moreover, the Greek goddess Iris was known to appear in the form of a rainbow, delivering divine messages to mortals. Thus, it is a bit as though Purple Butterfly were conceived as a fragrance half human, half divine. Then it is joined by the noble flavor of violet and rose buds. Its femininity thus becomes bewitching. Its heart, meanwhile, revolves around plum, tuberose and black tea. Purple Butterfly thus displays numerous contrasts. It is halfway between luminosity and a darker mystery. It then concludes with more structured, woody tonalities. Its sillage notably releases a flavor of cedar combined with white musk and patchouli. On the aesthetic side, Purple Butterfly is housed in Hanaé Mori's emblematic bottle. Made entirely of glass, it is topped with a butterfly-shaped cap. For the occasion, it takes on a lovely gradient shifting from purple at its base to light pink at its top.
