Hanae Mori Purple Butterfly

I do absolutely love this! It's wonderful. Very good depth, warmth and I agree it has a gorgeous oriental feel to it. I very much love violet and patchouli, and they are lovely in this. It is beautiful. All the flowers, fruits and sweet things, with the earthier, creamy woods and musk, and with the tea and patchouli giving a gentle spiciness, make for a divine fragrance. Definitely a beautiful perfume.

I have Just got IT! Very nice but nőt outstanding ás I have Hanea Mori edt. They are almost similar. The biggest difference is the slightly artifical note. IT is not present ín the Purple one, so IT is a tad more modern. I wish it had more detectable patchoulie, but otherwise a very adorable, sweet, I mean really sweet, longlasting fragrance.

This one is gorgeous! Simply put it is Hanae Mori with a load of powdery Violets and Iris petals delicately powdered with sweetness. Also a hint of nutty bitterness does make its prescence known; but only to balance it and that allows this to be sweet but never cloying! It's delicate and beautiful a love for me! Oh how I miss it!

PS. Lol NGEVITY AND SILLAGE not great... PSS I MUST apologize to HMPB... I'm wearing it again today and getting great sillage and longevity!!! The difference? Well moisturized skin. I have extremely dry skin and MUST use unscented moisturizer after shower or it's a waste of fragrance.

I. Am in. Purple Butterfly heaven. Exquisite fragrance. Lovely notes. I'm so glad I treated myself to this gorgeous fragrance. I've become a lover of violet / iris fragrance and the woody and patchouli notes ground it for me. True love!
