Butterfly Flower

Thank you to @LadySweetice for the BBW request link! I went right to it! Butterfly Flower is one of the most unique and gorgeous fresh tropical fragrances! I'm sorry to say I only discovered it after BBW sold out of the body spray, so I was only able to get the body cream, and I've been trying to make that last. The notes of banana leaf, tea, and tangerine really make this an interesting freshie that is so much more complex than just your typical tropical floral. I have a bottle of Nateeva St. Thomas and, while that's lovely and they do have some notes in common, St. Thomas just don't have that distinctive tangerine and banana leaf (who'd have thought I'd love that so much!) combo that helps cut down the sweetness a bit and add some uniqueness. If I had more of the body cream, I'd be slathering myself in it morning, noon, and night. Fingers crossed that BBW brings this lovely fragrance back!

It's such a shame that this has been discontinued and BBW hasn't brought it back. This is one of the prettiest spring/ summer florals I've ever owned and I've never found anything like it. It opens bright and sparkling with the tangerine and tea notes and that lingers for quite some time as the syringa and mimosa come through with a sweet, pollen-like touch. The banana note is more green/ banana-leaf than fruity/ gourmand. Also, I don't really get coconut but it's probably lending a lactonic note to the base. This dries down to a clean and light floral musk without ever getting cloying and lasts quite well despite its scent profile. Really wish this would make it back into the BBW rotation, even if only available for a limited time. It's one of the best perfumes they've ever done.

I smelled Butterfly Flower before looking up the notes. I immediately got sweet powdery mimosas with a green vegetal side note. I couldn’t however pinpoint what it was. When I saw the notes i wasn’t convinced it was the tea but then it hit me. It was the banana peels! It is creamy and fruity but also green and slightly vegetal. Lovely! I got a subtle ripe banana note later on. What a lovely surprise! This is the only perfume in my huge collection that has a banana note. Banana, syringa and tea? How many modern “niche” houses incorporate such notes nowadays? But good old BBW of all perfumers did it! I love this one, so unique. If only they bring it back in their SAS I’ll surely grab some back ups. Although I’m rationing my old bottle, it’ll eventually be gone soon ❤️

This has been one of my absolute favorites from BBW. A true sunny, sparkling floral unlike anything they have had or have created since. Over the decade after it was launched then discontinued, they have brought it back in the body line a few times, but lately it has not reappeared. For those looking for a close dupe with a reasonable price tag, I have discovered Santorini Sunsets by Skinn Cosmetics made by Dimitri James. Promoted as a blend of Jasmine, Honeysuckle and Gardenia, but truly comes off as Butterfly Flower to me (the body butter and shower gel formulas are rich and divine)...available at the brand's website and the Evine shopping channel both in the US. Highly recommended as a replacement until BBW is smart enough to bring this back.

I thought I reviewed this forever ago! Well, the Texas Mimosa (Persian Silk Tree) are in full bloom right now, which means it's time once again to pull out my Butterfly Flower! These trees aren't native to Texas, but they thrive (sometimes invasively) here and are incredibly common in the central part of the state. Late May and Early June the smell of the pink fuzzy blooms will carry on the breeze; it's an intoxicating green, slightly soapy, sweet honesuckle-banana-sweeTart smell~ Over-applied this can become bubble-juice/solution...but worn correctly it absolutely captures the Texas Mimosa on the warm breeze~ (It also holds up amazingly well, but old bottle still smells as Mimosa as ever season after season <3)

Luckily for my body chemistry there is nothing at all in any way synthetic about Butterfly Flower. It was simply a masterpiece though and though. Very fresh, gentle, womanly, mature fragrance. It smelled like a fresh garden in the morning. Flowers upon flowers but delivered gently. Faint aroma of fresh cut roses, orchid, green notes, crisp notes. I love the banana leaf and the hints of coconut. Such a wonderful natural floral. Butterfly Flower had and still has quite a following(more so than their Cherry Blossom). Why it was discontinued is beyond me because it never seemed to be collecting dust on the shelves. I hope whoever is behind these careless decisions is or already has been fired.

I love Mimosa anything !"You can smell the mimosa , its just like our mimosa tree in the back yard a rich buttercup smell that I love , love , love a bit flowery , its subtil to me , my skin is dry so it absorbs fast , but the lotion makes my skin very soft and fragrant smelling , when mixed togteher with the EDT it makes me feel pretty like a woman should smell . They are packaged so pretty,this scent is a favorite of mine . It is so unique and does have a luxurious allure to it .

This is a unique scent for B&BW. The banana note comes in with tea at the beginning for a fresh opening, then settles down into the florals (the orchid is very nice). The slight note of coconut compliments the banana, but without smelling like this is a perfume straight from the tropics. Instead the tropical scents blend into the florals very well, making a very complex scent for the price. It's light, fresh, and perfect for spring and summer. It's unfortunately been discontinued.

Im only left with the mist now. They need to relaunch the full line of this. This scent is amazing, it literally smells like flowers. Nothing synthetic to it. It takes me back to my country town by the sea in Greece(Antirrio), this is how the streets smell during summer. Smells like Albizia, the tree with the fuzzy pink flowers. I have no words for this wonderful fragrance. I need an EDT or EDP version, altho the mist lasts long too.

This scent is beautiful. Just like the name. I would categorize this as Green Floral though, because it's definitely not fruity. The Banana only serves as a complimentary opening note. It might be overpowering at first, but wait until 15 minutes and it will give you the most beautiful soft scent of flower meadows in the spring. Extremely feminine scent and this perfume is actually the flowery scent that I can wear.

I owned this magnificent sunny floral scent in 2009 I only wish I would've bought more than 1 body mist and lotion. This is probably in my top 3 B&BW scents! It smelled so floral and tropical! If anyone has an older body mist and or lotion of Butterfly Floral I would love to purchase it from you. I only wish that they would bring this back and have it available at my local B&BW in CT. ✌🏻🦋🌼🍌🌸

I never gave this perfume a chance until it was to late. I really like the yellow flora’s in this but what I really love is the scent of fresh cut grass. Which is weird because grass is not a note listed. I don’t smell the banana or orchid at all. This is not a overpowering scent for me but I like strong perfumes that last all day.

My favorite scent of all time! It smells just like the mimosa tree in my front yard as I was growing up in Oklahoma. If anyone finds something similar, I'd love to know about it, since this has sadly been discontinued.

It's like a rose and a honeysuckle had a baby...I LOVE IT!!! It's such a beautiful refreshing scent...very floral...not too much musk which I'm glad the musk isn't overpowering...it would take away from it all.

This scent is beautiful. Very floral, but can be heady if sprayed too much. It is a must buy if you are a collector of BBW, as it is unique and stands out from the usual fruity and too syrupy scents.

This is a gorgeous smell! I own the body mist, lotion and shower gel for this. Fresh and sweet, but definitely not overpowering. It's perfect for the summer.

I LOVE this scent!! I wish they still had it in the stores. Recently used up my last shower gel of this scent.

This perfume reminds me of estee lauder's beyond paradise

this really smells like beyond paradise

What a relief to see banana listed in the notes of BBW BUTTERFLY FLOWER. I was wondering whether the SIRA DES INDES-like banana-ish facet of this fragrance was a figment of my imagination. Phew! Yes, this is a big fat floral fragrance with a tropical vibe and, specifically, a serious banana side. I am most familiar with this scent from the bath gel and lotion, but after my bath this morning, I decided to take out my sample vial of the edt and luxuriate in a triple layer of this scent. Then, to my great surprise, I also found that I had a huge bottle of the special edition Fragrant Waters BUTTERFLY FLOWER splash, which has been tweaked somewhat from the original, but is close enough to bear the same name. Knowing that I would soon be drenched in perspiration as I made my way to the library, I sprayed the Fragrant Waters splash all over my body before departing. All in all, I'd say that this is a winner. I generally prefer the body products to the straight-up fragrances of BBW, and BUTTERFLY FLOWER is no exception to that general rule. However, I would definitely recommend this particular edt to gals who like big, billowy, voluptuous florals a la FRACAS. Here we have mimosa, orchid, and syringa rather than tuberose as the focus. Is the quality the same? Of course not. But the spirit is definitely here, and I might even consider adding a bottle of BUTTERFLY FLOWER edt to my collection now that my bath gel is gone. Recommended! Update: whoops--too late! It's already been discontinued! /-:
