La Chasse Aux Papillons (1999)
by L'Artisan Parfumeur

A beautiful white floral that is saved from being pedestrian by the addition of pink pepper & linden. Decent sillage and staying power. What more could you want?

Lively, sprightly, citrus-punch jasmine. This is an idealized jasmine without the indolic, animalic notes. It is wrapped in lemon-lime-orange zest and floats merrily into the air. I would describe it the same way that I describe my obsession with juice: Frozen orange juice (and artificial jasmine perfume) is passable. Fresh-squeezed orange juice (and real jasmine absolute) is wonderful, but you can't use a lot. Five Alive citrus punch (and La Chasse Aux Papillons) is not exactly orange juice, but the combination manages to be just as enjoyable and somehow easier to enjoy.
This is a lovely, yummy, bubble gummy jasmine perfume that attracts me the same way Hermes 24, Faubourg does. No, it doesn't last a long time, but sometimes that is due to a high percentage of natural ingredients, which is a good thing. And it smells wonderful from the second you apply it until it is gone.

So gorgeous in the bottlel. On my skin it didn't really evolve-- just a strong blast of jasmine and a hint of orange blossom. On me it is too sweet and cloying.

This is a little too heavy on the floral notes for me. If you're into florals you would probably like this. I wouldconsider this more of a feminine scent and if you want a good idea of what you're getting before you try it, think Fracas.

Agree with others here that this is a gorgeous fragrance, soft and clear, BUT, the staying power is just unacceptable. Gone in one hour. Though I love the L'Artisan scents, I have trouble with staying power of many.

love this scent it's spring and summer in a botle,so sad it just last a few hours i just love the first notes of crisp and fresh linden and jasmin with a subtle orange flower.for me it's only fit for warmer weather and not the cold we're having right now too bad i have to wait about six months before using it again so it's back to a la nuit for a heavier jasmin
