Hanae mori butterfly sephora12/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() My husband loved it and I just did not buy it. I sniffed it in NYC back in May and almost bought it. Well now I have and I know I will love it. I have spent tons on very $$$$ perfumes and just would not spend the money on this one for some odd reason. I will own this perfume I have been lusting after for years. Well last night I ordered a bottle online and I am so happy. Well I have been saying I was going to buy a bottle of Butterfly since that day and I have never done it. Well I returned it the next day, because it was to heavy for me to wear. Well I liked Butterfly better because it was a much lighter scent than Escada, but went with Escada for some dumb reason. I again sniffed this scent a year ago while on a shopping trip in Neimans and well still felt the same, but the sales lady was telling me to go with Escada not Butterfly. I think it is the strawberry note and the Almond note. There is just something about this scent that I really love. I keep coming back to it to sniff for some reason. I sniffed this scent about two years ago and thought it was very nice. I do not own a bottle of this just yet, but I will soon. I feel I won't be throwing away as many "expensive mistakes" as I have in the past thanks to this great site! How boring it would be if we all liked the same thing. I'm not going to say I like every fragrance you do but that's what makes us all unique. There are some "expert noses" that post very valuable info. Even though I'm an amateur I find I'm starting to know more than the ladies at the counter. so now when I shop I know what I'm looking for. And, I love this site!!! You all have helped educate me on notes, etc. Hanae is one of those that the longer I wear it the better I like it. I agree, Burberry Touch and Hanae Mori are close but to me they are far enough apart that I know I'm wearing something different. I think next time I will go with the pink because it seems softer.on me. The berries and vanilla are nice but my favorite is still a soft floral and vanilla. The writer of a 1990 Vogue article on Japanese fashion quoted Mori, “the high priestess of Japanese conservative fashion,” as saying that “the whole Japanese concept of beauty is based on refined hiding, or concealment, of things.” While always maintaining a sense of propriety, Mori had a larger and more generous mission, one that opened doors for many others.I purchased a bottle of Hanae Mori Blue but I had tested the pink (eau de toilette). But if there was a sense of correctness in her work, there was also hidden strength. She liked to say she was her husband’s employee, for example. Nonetheless, she remained a product of her time: She was conservative in dress and in certain ways of being. ![]() Mori’s arc, as Robert Trumbell noted in The New York Times, is a post-war Japanese success story. It was her gift to create beautifully made clothes that had the allure of the “other” for both Western and Eastern women alike. “I cannot force ladies to wear kimono, but I can create the atmosphere of the kimono,” she said in 1983. Besides using Japanese motifs, she worked with silk, and used kimono fabrics in her work even as the kimono was less worn.
