I have a few hanae Mori perfumes, and I think they’re quite lovely. I thought I would love this one for sure. Yuck! I like a little powder in my perfume. But this one is way way way too much! So much powder It chokes me out. I’ll never buy this stuff again. This is the first time I’ve ever blind bought a perfume and couldn’t stand it.

Overly sweet with artificial floral scents, and super powdery. Reminds me of Coach Poppy and Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme, that gave me instant headache. I thought it should be “light” and “airy” as “butterfly”. If I was in a closed space with someone wearing this (like in the elevator), I would have a headache, no offense.

With iris, violets, and patchouli already being very powdery smells, I don’t quite understand why the artificial powdery notes are needed as they make it smell like secret deodorant

This one is gorgeous! Simply put it is Hanae Mori with a load of powdery Violets and Iris petals delicately powdered with sweetness. Also a hint of nutty bitterness does make its prescence known; but only to balance it and that allows this to be sweet but never cloying! It’s delicate and beautiful a love for me! Oh how I miss it!

Hanae Mori Purple Butterfly is absolutely gorgeous. Very distinctive, this is like someone slapped the S*** out of Hanae Mori Hanae Mori EDP with a huge, fluffy puff full of delicate, fragrant powder.
The scent, for me, is drop-dead gorgeous. Though beautifully powdery, this is lain over the top of dark, syrupy-ripe fruits (probably an impression created by the violet), warmed by the patchouli/wood/rose which blend to form the rich base.
Fragrance: 10/10. I adore this.
Performance: 10/10 Sillage can be monstrous if you so desire. This will last on clothing until it is laundered.
One of the best blind-buys ever, she is precisely what I thought she’d be based on reviews and the description found here.

I have Just got IT! Very nice but nőt outstanding ás I have Hanea Mori edt. They are almost similar.
The biggest difference is the slightly artifical note. IT is not present ín the Purple one, so IT is a tad more modern.
I wish it had more detectable patchoulie, but otherwise a very adorable, sweet, I mean really sweet, longlasting fragrance.

PS. Lol NGEVITY AND SILLAGE not great…
PSS I MUST apologize to HMPB… I’m wearing it again today and getting great sillage and longevity!!! The difference? Well moisturized skin. I have extremely dry skin and MUST use unscented moisturizer after shower or it’s a waste of fragrance.

I. Am in. Purple Butterfly heaven. Exquisite fragrance. Lovely notes. I’m so glad I treated myself to this gorgeous fragrance. I’ve become a lover of violet / iris fragrance and the woody and patchouli notes ground it for me. True love!

This is so powdery its bitter

This is very simply the original Butterfly EDP with some candied and powdered violets added. You could probably get close to this by layering the original with a scent like Insolence. I like it because I love violets, but I’m not sure I like it more than the original Butterfly. The creaminess of the original has been replaced with powder in this fragrance. Do you like creamy or powdery? Answer that question and you’ll know which fragrance you prefer. They are different enough to own both though.

I do absolutely love this! It’s wonderful. Very good depth, warmth and I agree it has a gorgeous oriental feel to it. I very much love violet and patchouli, and they are lovely in this. It is beautiful. All the flowers, fruits and sweet things, with the earthier, creamy woods and musk, and with the tea and patchouli giving a gentle spiciness, make for a divine fragrance.
Definitely a beautiful perfume.

Oh my, this smells great! definitely a Hanae Mori with punch! top notes are warm, rich, even earthy..I detect the orris note, patchouli, and a buttery iris..I like that it smells oriental, without any spiciness, just a warm aura..funny it almost smells like licorice also!
it gets a bit powdery in the heart,I then detect the violet..the base is so lovely, on my skin, like a sweet soft heaven! I thought it was a lot like YSL Manifesto Elixir, but I do like the Hanae Mori more, it is deeper, less powdery, more unexpected.the plum is there in the background too…this is a nice surprise from Hanae Mori…I personally dont see any similartity with the original which is more like a sweet powdery cloud to my nose..Purple is more dense..more interesting too..ii like that although it gets sweet and warm in the drydown, there is that elixir undertone throughout the scent.

OK. If you are a fan of the original HM Butterfly and you love iris, violets and patchouli……YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!! Honestly, I love it more than the original Butterfly. This is Butterfly covered in a nice layer of powdery iris, violet, and earthy patchouli leaves. Vanilla and toffee also dominate. Less floral than original, more earthy, sweet and powdery. Definitely has a ‘purple vibe’ compared to the original Butterfly. Wonderful twist on the original!! Utterly Gorgeous! Notes as written on tester bottle: Rose, Blackcurrant Berry, Bergamot, Plum, Tuberose, Toffee, Black Tea, Orris Powder, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, White Musc, Patchouli Leaves.
