Musk Butterfly

About

Musk Butterfly wears like a cool rose lit by clean aldehydes, with a velvety violet heart. Ambrette, sandalwood, and musk stay close to the skin, leaving a calm, softly warm trail. It feels refined, quiet, and composed throughout the day.

Musk Butterfly opens with a clean aldehydic glow and a cool rose tone, where Damask and Turkish rose facets feel sheer and precise. In the first minutes, a green, slightly tart geranium thread appears with a soft fruity touch of litchi. The heart turns more powdery as violet and violet leaf add a velvety, dry texture without extra sweetness. The base rests on ambrette, sandalwood, and a musky effect, so the trail stays skin-close, calm, and gently warm. Overall, it reads as a floral-powdery composition with a clear, airy outline. Projection is moderate: present at close range without filling the room. It suits wearers who prefer delicate musky-rose fragrances for daytime, office hours, and quiet evening plans.
