Papillon Artisan Perfumes Hera is a floral, green unisex scent built around ylang-ylang, jasmine and iris, and it suits spring days and evenings best.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest spring and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Though it is unisex, most voters read it as feminine and classic.
Flowers lead: ylang-ylang, jasmine, narcissus, orange blossom and May rose. Iris adds a powdery softness, while musk leaves an animal warmth underneath. Beside the green and sweet tones sits a faint spicy, resinous trace.
