What does Green Butterfly smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a close, steady trail rather than a loud one. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.

It opens with orris absolute, citrus fruits and orange blossom softened by chocolate. The heart brings jasmine, suede and vanilla forward, with aldehydes and white musk keeping it clean and powdery. Sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver settle the gourmand sweetness onto a woody base. Guerlain Le Plus Beau Jour de Ma Vie and Amouage Lilac Love have a close profile.
