What does Butterfly / Hanae Mori (1995) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens on a dark cluster of blackcurrant, blueberry, woodland strawberry and blackberry. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, Bulgarian rose and French peony set the scent on a floral base. At the bottom, French cedar, almond wood, rosewood and sandalwood temper the sweetness with a soft, creamy woodiness, while synthetic and gourmand shades stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and it suits leisure and daily wear, though it also works in the evening. Most voters read its character as feminine.
