#SEPHORA HANAE MORI BUTTERFLY SKIN#

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. I hope everyone had a great weekend! Back to the grind….I purchased a bottle of Hanae Mori Blue but I had tested the pink (eau de toilette). As for the fragrance, I would personally take a pass – unless you find the scent to-die-for, reapplying constantly is kind of a hassle and a terrible waste of money!

#SEPHORA HANAE MORI BUTTERFLY SKIN#

I think if you have less sensitive skin than I, you might really enjoy the body washes, if you can get your hands on them. Also, it seems you can’t order the fragrance online in Canada…damn restrictions! On Sephora‘s website they no longer carry the body wash…but it’s still available at. Price of the body wash is $20USD and the rollerball was $19USD. At least it’s travel-friendly so I can reapply often, but at this rate it will be gone in a couple months. The staying power of the fragrance leaves MUCH to be desired I find it dissipates on me within an hour or two.

Since I was on a major spree, I grabbed the rollerball version of the scent and have been enjoying it – the scent at least.

Instantly I was drawn to the Vanilla Grapefruit scent (notes are: sparkling grapefruit, crisp sandalwood, lime, and Madagascar vanilla), which reminds me strongly of Hanae Mori’s ‘Butterfly’, which I wore all last summer. When I visited Sephora last week, for some reason I was compelled to smell the Lavanilla fragrances just out of idle curiosity. It doesn’t strip my skin of moisture, to be sure, but I think all the botanicals and extracts are too much for my sensitive skin.

Sadly, I immediately felt itchy and uncomfortable once I applied it to my skin, and even rinsing thoroughly didn’t help matters – my eczema flares every time I use it. Even more disappointing, I had high hopes that due to the natural aspects of the wash, that it wouldn’t irritate my eczema and leave my skin feeling comfortable rather than dry. It’s described as an ‘exotic blend of fresh coconut oil, Tahitian tiare flower, and warm Madagascar vanilla,’ and unfortunately for this non-floral loving gal, I get more flower power than vanilla coconut. The scent, while definitely not ‘fake’ smelling, isn’t really all that pleasant either. Unfortunately, for all the great reasons to love the product, I was left disappointed with both the scent and the gentleness of the body wash. When my Sephora package came, I eagerly hopped in the shower to try it out. Additionally, the brand touts ‘all-natural’ ingredients and is ‘free of harsh and possibly toxic chemicals,’ using coconut oil to gently cleanse the skin, and cocoa seed & shea butters and olive oil to keep skin hydrated, among a host of other good-for-your-skin ingredients. The description of the scent sounded right up my alley – I love anything coconut scented, and I’m often drawn to fragrances with notes of vanilla, so – match made in heaven! I read some reviews that said the fragrance wasn’t cloying or fake-smelling, which sounded promising as well. Last month, I ordered the Vanilla Coconut body wash from Lavanilla.
