Frequently Asked Questions

How does the "Extrême" version differ from the original La Chasse aux Papillons?+

The Extrême version introduces more prominent spicy top notes like saffron and pink pepper, alongside a richer base of beeswax and ylang-ylang. This results in a slightly deeper, more textured fragrance compared to the lighter, more transparent original.

Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+

Yes, it is well-suited for business and professional environments. While it features lush florals like tuberose, the green and citrus accords keep it fresh and polite rather than overwhelming.

How does this fragrance perform in terms of longevity?+

It is known for having moderate staying power. While it is more substantial than a typical cologne, it maintains a soft presence on the skin throughout the day rather than creating a heavy trail.

What is the best season to wear this scent?+

Most people find it performs best during the spring and summer. The honeyed linden blossom and fresh citrus notes bloom beautifully in warmer weather and direct sunlight.

Does the vanilla note make it a very sweet fragrance?+

The sweetness is natural and restrained. The vanilla and beeswax provide a smooth, creamy texture that supports the florals rather than turning the scent into a gourmand or sugary perfume.

Is this scent strictly for women?+

While it is marketed for women and features a traditional white floral heart, the earthy vetiver and dry saffron notes give it a botanical realism that can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates the smell of a natural garden.
