EDP · 1999 · womens

L'Artisan Parfumeur has long specialized in unconventional fragrances that prioritize raw material quality and artistic vision over commercial trends. La Chasse Aux Papillons, released in 1999, exemplifies the house's commitment to distinctive florals that feel lived-in rather than precious.

The fragrance opens with a bright jasmine and orange blossom duo that immediately establishes its white floral character. The heart deepens this floral narrative, layering tuberose with more jasmine and orange blossom to create a creamy, powdery core that feels both fresh and slightly indolic. The base grounds everything with coconut, heliotrope, and patchouli, while sandalwood and vetiver add a subtle earthiness that prevents the composition from becoming overly sweet or one-dimensional.

This is a fragrance for someone who appreciates florals with substance and complexity, not just pretty florals. It works best during warmer months or evening wear, when the creamy floral heart and warm base can fully develop on skin. If you gravitate toward The Homesteader, The Sensualist, and The Romantic, La Chasse Aux Papillons deserves your attention.

jasmine
jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
orange blossom
orange blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.

tuberose
tuberose
One of the most intensely floral natural ingredients in existence, rich, creamy, and almost narcotic in its sweetness. Tuberose is polarizing by design: it's meant to be enveloping, not background. It has rubbery, vanilla-like facets that make it feel both sensual and slightly retro.
white flowers
white flowers
A family rather than a single note, white flowers in perfumery typically refers to an accord of white-petalled blossoms (jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, lily) blended to create a rich, heady, indolic warmth. The quintessential note of feminine oriental fragrances, sensual and enveloping.
Base · 3–12 hrs
coconut
coconut
Creamy, tropical, and slightly sunscreen-like, coconut reads as summery and carefree. In light doses it adds a beachy sweetness; in heavier use it can veer into suntan lotion territory. Most effective when paired with citrus or florals to lift it from the beach bar and into the realm of wearable tropical fragrance.
heliotrope
heliotrope
Powdery, sweet, and slightly almond-like, heliotrope is the quintessential 'retro' note of Victorian-era perfumery, now experiencing a fashionable revival. It smells of sugar, vanilla, and just enough floral to keep it interesting. In modern fragrances it tends to read as nostalgic, soft, and unapologetically pretty.
patchouli
patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
sandalwood
sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
vetiver
vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
