What do reviewers say about Butterfly – Hanae Mori and Ylang in Gold?
Gourmand fruit with actual structure, the kind of combination that makes people search for the bottle fifteen years later. It's a love story in a bottle.Butterfly – Hanae Mori
The sweetness pulls people in two directions. Some smell banana and bubblegum, others smell something more complex and layered. Here's the thing: it's unapologetically warm.Ylang in Gold
