What does Black Butterfly smell like?

It opens with lime, almond, cherry and tiaré, so a fruity sweetness comes first. The heart of iris, coconut, rose and freesia turns floral, powdery and creamy. White musk, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla then soften it into a warm, gourmand base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring in third place. It is suggested mostly for evenings and nights out, and nearly half of voters read it as feminine. Guerlain Mon Exclusif and Jean Couturier Vanilla Exotica have a close profile.
