Musk Butterfly

This fragrance from the Les Fleurs Narcotiques collection explores a new duality. Between air and earth, Kilian Hennessy explores, with perfumer Mathieu Nardin, this powerful notion that contrasts fragility and strength. Musk Butterfly is also a reference to Madame Butterfly, like an ode to the metamorphoses offered by both opera and perfumery. As the curtain rises, the spectator discovers a deep musk and a trio of sparkling rose with aldehydes in effervescence, as can be a first encounter. The violet leaves reveal themselves over time, in the incomprehension and expectation of the loved one. The transformation takes place suddenly with a fresh shiver of ambrette mixed with sandalwood, like the abandonment of everything that has happened so far.
