Perfume Haul: Hanae Mori



Hanae Mori Butterfly by Hanae Mori 3.4 fl oz (100 ml)

I love the fragrance and here's the description courtesy of Sephora.com:

Hanae Mori Butterfly
Hanae Mori, the great lady of Japanese fashion and Parisian haute couture, introduced this fragrance in 1996 and the subtle composition of scents make it unlike any other.

The fragrance is a rare blend of berries and flowers, with a distinctive tone of strawberries and almond, giving an impression of vanilla. The bottle's top is distinctly made from glass, a first for any fragrance. The top represents the beauty and delicate shape of a butterfly with folded wings.

Notes:
Strawberries, Bilberries, Black Currant, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Sandalwood, Almond, Praline.
Style:
Spontaneous. Modern. Festive.
