Madama Butterfly II

Beautiful. Elegant and refined, masterfully balanced timeless perfume. Fruity notes are very subtle here and iris isn't too talcy, green or sharp. What I really like about this perfume is that all components are so well-balanced that You don't have to guess and think about the notes, You can just enjoy the whole composition and how it changes in time. Everything in this perfume is elegant from first notes till the end. I think that this perfume plays most probably better on people who's body temperature is a bit cooler. I'm also not sure that the whole potential of this perfume would open up with tanned skin, therefor I think that this perfume would be most beautiful during fall or winter. I also think that this perfume would suit for women in all ages. Would be ofcourse interesting to try it on a man. I've noticed many times before that such musky floral perfumes can be very pleasant on men as well. On my skin this perfume lasted the whole day and I really enjoyed each change it made throughout the day. It's wonderful that there are still perfume houses who care about the art of perfumery and concentrate on sophisticated olfactory experience. After all thouse pseudo-luxurious perfume houses, who are only concentrated on loud sexual messages,it is so refreshing to enjoy well-mannered sensuality.

An otherworldly beauty. I first received as a free sample with a fragrance purchase from Indigo Perfumery. With one whiff, this fragrance moved me. It evoked a sense of comfort, luminosity, sensuality, and mystery all at once. I have never smelled anything like it, as perhaps it is the unique blending of notes I’ve never come across before: iris with tulip and sakura (Japanese cherry) blossom. It is certainly in line with my fragrance preferences, which are feminine, elegant, refined floral woody musks. Although unusual, it is still very wearable and accessible—not so strange that it can only be appreciated for its aesthetic characteristics by the Fragrance Community Intelligentsia. Indeed it is a work of art, and I applaud the perfumeur’s passion and effort to create such a beauty. Well done! Sillage is arms length and longevity is excellent due to the high quality ingredients. I would consider this an all-season fragrance.

Very beautiful. Opens smokey (incense) and herbal, dries down to a soft, smooth Iris and wood scent. There’s some sweetness present. This is a complicated but easy to wear scent — when I look at the list of notes I feel that I can smell each one of them. Nothing more to add except that I love it.

The opening of Madama Butterfly II smells of boozy raspberries, pink pepper, cherry blossom with a flowery accord of iris. The dry down is composed of a nice blending of Tonka bean, hay, vanilla, sandalwood, cedarwood and chocolate tinged patchouli. This is really well done! 😊👃🏽❤️👍🏽

Transitions beautifully from cyborg iris to powdery iris
