What does Pretty Butterfly smell like?

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and it leans towards work, everyday wear and leisure. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light trail. Most voters find it feminine, with some calling it modern.

It opens with passion fruit, lemon and blackberry, then turns floral in the heart with Taif rose, Parma violet and lily of the valley. Musk, rosewood and patchouli set it on a soft, lightly woody base. Fresh, citrus and aquatic tones are balanced by green and sweet fruity touches. Clean Shower Fresh and Zara Pipeline have a close profile.
