CONCEPT
“Butterfly love is similar to rushing water: it falls, it rolls, it runs away murmuring:
it will dry up losing the source. Born from a storm, it has its length of time.”
Pierre-Joseph Bernard
BUTTERFLY MIND is a Fruity Floral Fragrance, full of vitality and light. It evokes the awakening of nature in spring and its eternal renewals, a fickle spirit, a love affair, a heart that beats faster. This composition is inspired by a book: “The unbearable lightness of being” by Milan Kundera. With a deep questioning of the balance between the light, reputed to be futile, but also free and happy and the heavy one which, although difficult to exercise, brings authenticity, seriousness and meaning to a life.
Smell and admire the balance of this alluring light fruity floral fragrance. You will find the aromas of Japanese cherry blossom, Sakura, but also Chinese white tea Bai Mu Dan. It’s the top notes, the ones you smell at the beginning that create a beautiful harmony. You will then have the pleasure of discovering the heart notes, which give this perfume its personality. These are the exotic Feijoa fruit and Hazel leaves and White Tea. To finish come the base notes in which you will be able to recognize the scents of Cherry and White Musk to complete this composition and make it unforgettable in its image of the lightness of a butterfly, but at the same time with a soft and persistent presence. The Musk plays the essential role here, it fixes the perfume and guarantees its long hold.

THOUGHTS
Butterfly Mind is a light fruity floral fragrance that evokes the arrival of spring, capturing a sense of vitality and renewal in the air. Although it is presented as a unisex scent, its soft and delicate character makes it feel slightly more feminine.
The fragrance opens with the gentle floral note of cherry blossom blended with the transparent freshness of Bai Mu Dan White Tea. This combination creates a soft, airy impression, reminiscent of a gentle spring breeze. The opening feels light and effortless, like the quiet beginning of the season.
After some time, the fruity note of feijoa begins to emerge. On my skin, it smells like a blend of berry sweetness and citrus brightness, creating a fruity and uplifting impression. On a blotter, however, the fruitiness appears more restrained and transparent. It may be that my skin chemistry and body temperature bring out more sweetness compared to the blotter.
On the blotter, I also notice the slightly dry, green nuance of hazelnut leaves. This evokes the image of cherry leaves turning green and trees shifting from winter’s brown tones to vibrant spring foliage. The fragrance beautifully captures the feeling of nature awakening in spring.
In the dry down, cherry and musk gently emerge, settling softly into the skin.
Overall, Butterfly Mind remains light and transparent throughout, embodying the freshness, vitality, and gentle beauty of spring.
JAPANESE SUMMARY
Butterfly Mindは、春の訪れと生命力を感じさせる軽やかなフルーティフローラルの香りです。桜とホワイトティーの透明感のある香りから始まり、やがてフェイジョアの明るくフルーティーな甘さが現れます。ムエットではヘーゼルナッツの葉のグリーンなニュアンスも感じられ、春に芽吹く自然の風景を思わせます。ラストはチェリーとムスクが柔らかく肌に馴染み、全体を通して軽やかで春らしい優しい印象の香水です。
