Brand: Hanae Mori

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.

Summary: it's excellent!
Comment: Shopping for perfume is always a pain coz there are so many of them and you might come across more than 1 of them that you really like. It's hard to pick. But this one is different, because it's different from any other perfume and it's got very distinctive smell, and it just pops up among 100 others and you know it's your favorite.

I always wanted to get one but i was not too satisfied with the price in the malls, and I just recently found it on amazon and decided to buy it. The shipping was fast, and I'm really really looking forward to it.

I really really like vanilla, and I also like Burberry Brit a lot, but after comparing these two, I decided to pick this one coz it's more unique, and less "common".

Summary: Husbands Review
Comment: I bought this for my wife at Nordstroms a couple of years ago for my wife and she loved it. That is why I am here now on Amazon, shopping for a new bottle for Valentines Day. I must admit that it is my favorite also. She was suprised that I picked it out but it really is exceptional. I hate stinky smelling people, When a man has cologne on and wants to shake my hand I cringe because I dont want it on me. OK Im an aqua velva guy and dont believe men should wear perfume but this man loves this perfume on my wife I mean she irresistable, hard to keep my hands her off when she wears it. GrrrRuff!

Summary: Unbelievable Fragrance which always gets comments!!
Comment: I'm not really big into wearing fragrances, but this is one I can't live without! I stumbled across it quite accidentally, and every time I wear it I get comments about how fantastic I smell. For hours afterward too, not just the first hour. The love of my life says it drives him absolutely crazy!!! So its nice that we all enjoy it!

Summary: Beautiful in the parfum concentration ...
Comment: I recently purchased Hanae Mori "Red Butterfly" Parfum. Although I have only had it in my possession for 2 months, I have been familiar with this fragrance (although not in this concentration) for about 5-6 years. Every now and again, I start to yearn for a new scent. When I selected my last one, HM Butterfly was a strong contender, but it did not make the final cut. It stayed in my memory, however, and finally made it home.

Hanae Mori is a strong scent. It is *very* sweet. In fact, it is so sweet that it helps me to curb my overactive sweet tooth. I cannot overdo the cookie dough anymore without feeling quite ill. Despite being rather complex, it does not smell too "perfumey." It is suitable for my age (38) and my temperament. I doubt I will wear it for the rest of my life, but it is what I need right now.

HM is very feminine without being flowery. As others have noted it does give the impression of vanilla, but if you sniff a little closer it becomes obvious that what you are smelling is sweet almond. There is something a bit tropical in the perfume also -- I think it is the jasmine which translates to my nose as pineapple in this fragrance. It is buttery and creamy with a bit of a fruity punch. The sandalwood contained leaves a nice seductive drydown without being too musky (although I have nothing against a good musk).

I would recommend this scent for girly girls or for women, like me, who need a little boost of femininity in their lives. My man likes the fragrance, and I find that it gives more than a subtle boost to my libido. I could not ask for much more. :()
