La Chasse aux Papillons by L Artisan Parfumeur

guest_sakura

My addiction. Soft and floral, youth without being loud.This one is all about subtlety and I love that it's a light scent from beginning to end. This scent is distinctly a jasmine parfume but a subtle one. Unlike that Juicy garbage which attempts lady-likeness by adding a generic tween version of jasmine.

That reminds me of the gardenia plant.It's a very natural perfume for someone who doesn't like heavy stuffs!!

On second smell, I do like this scent a bit more- It still smells like calamine lotion, but I find it oddly compelling-(can't explain!) It reminds me of L'Heure Bleue, which also gave me a negative first impression because of medicinal notes-

Like Mals86, I got a really strange chemical vibe in the mid-tones that lasted for at least 6 hours, reminiscent of...Calamine lotion!
I'm going to give it another try tomorrow to see if it's an acquired smell...
It does have more staying power than Mimosa por Moi, which was disappointingly fleeting, as one would expect with said papillon, instead...

Lovely extremely well made floral for romantic ladies! Yes, it is summery or springtime, but it's not so "fresh" after all. Once the initial burst of freshness fades down (10 minutes at most) this scent becomes quite an intriguing and elegant pure white floral. While it is usually defined as a light and innocent scent, I find it has some sexyness. Youthful but not teeny, floral but not flat, it's somehow a "knowing" scent. It has something in common with Givenchy Organza.
Try and spray a little more if you dare! It will become a cloud of flowers with a strong lime blossom note (which is the part I like less) and very matchable with a highly feminine elegant outfit and attitude. Tuberouse, especially is very aggressive as a flower and not so demure! The lime blossoms should provide a sense of serenity. I especially love the "honey" sensation even if I'm not sure this contains any honey at all. It simply captures the smell of the corollas which are honeyed in itself during their bloom in order to attract bees and the alikes :-)
Lovely alone, I enjoy it mixed with L'Eau d'Ambre. The Extreme version is also very nice, but it's more spiced and it pushes the sunkissed warm white flowers feeling to higher tones.

I really, really wanted to love this one. I do generally like white florals, and the imagery of the name is just beautiful and appropriate.

I did love the opening notes, which were all juicy citrus and orange blossom - such a happy scent. An hour later, though, the lovely florals (I smelled lots of jasmine and orange blossom, with just a hint of tuberose) were fading to something that reminded me of bathroom cleaner, very chemical and harsh. This may be the linden (lime blossom), or a musk in the base. In any case, La Chasse aux Papillons was gorgeous for fifteen minutes, pretty for an hour, and wretched thereafter. I am jealous of those of you who can wear it! Lean over... yes, over here... ah, you smell wonderful... sigh.

Warm, "honey-ed" floral. It's okay, but not for me (I guess I say that a lot..I'm picky). :-)

Such a beautiful white flower scent... reminds me of the Chanel florals, but less aldehydic and more realistic.

A summer garden buzzing with bees collecting honey and bright butterflies flitting about my picnic cloth - I love La Chasse for its imagery AND the perfect capture of honeyed flowers and sunshine....Tatiana's fragrance!

I like this version more than the extreme. Extreme is very spicy and not as long lived on me. Chasse to me is all about white florals, balmy lemon, spring time in a bottle. I would think if a butterfly might wanted to be scented this is probably what he'd choose. I have a 15ml bottle and I use it sparingly for special occasions. This also reminds me of my bottle of Apothia If come to think of it.

As zoka said this is a simble and warm honeyed floral played in a really soft vibe.Tuberose and jasmine wispers in a watery and steamy orange blossom canvas.Yes it's beautiful but it lasts for 30 min and the subtle, quiet and not so happy nature and it's feather quality gone too.

this is a beautiful and soft perfume, gentle as a summer breeze. unfortunately, i kept wanting it to be something more, to have a bit more BITE. maybe a tart note? this is only my personal preference, it is still a beautiful and lovely perfume. i just kept wanting it to be something it wasn't, which really isn't fair.

Henriette

Very lovely perfume, one of my favourite. On my skin it resembles Aprés l'Ondee by Guerlain and I adore its not being too flowery

Offcourse this fragrance make me think about summer. Actually the most perfect summerday and little children running around cherful and pretty. It is such a delicate, happy and flowery fragrance and not at all overwhelming, to sweet or to much... It is clean, a bit tangy, crisp, mild... everything one can wish for in a summerflowery fragrance.

But the memory of the perfect summerday fades, as do this perfume. It makes me smile and relax for a short while and then *poff* it is so gone... it only last about one hour or max 1½ on me and that is a big dissapointment. It is so good I want to reapply over and over again, but that make med realise it would only last very short... like the summer in Sweden I think! ;)

Like elgab89, I think it's so much like a spring flower bouquet, it will smell like you've been rolling around in a flowerbed! Very soft and flowery. For me it provokes many memories of the Jasmine flowers on my grandmother's balcony in Italy. Although I think the main flower note is tuberose, I get way more jasmine out of it. Jasmine is my favorite smell, so I really love this stuff. A very true, clean floral for the summer.

I like it very much, flowers with a honey note, warm and sensual.

So soft and flowery. It smells like a spring flower bouquet. Very pretty perfume.
