Our inspiration :
« Oh, little one, dear wife, your fragrance of verbena »,
the names he called me on coming here.
Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly” tells the story of a young Japanese girl named Cio-Cio San - Japanese word for “butterfly” - marrying and getting dumped by an American naval officer named Pinkerton. The scent of blooming Sakura is spreading all over Cio-Cio-San, perfumed with sweet Verbena she is waiting for the return of the man she loves.
Perfumer : Philippe Poissonnier
This fragrance is inspired by Madama Butterfly, an Italian opera by Giacomo Puccini.
Cio-Cio-San means Butterfly in Japanese. This is how the American officer Pinkerton nicknamed the very young heroine of this opera who fell madly in love with him.
The iodized notes of the Nagasaki berry mingle with the scents of the Sakura cherry tree under which the very young Geisha Cio-Cio-San, perfumed with verbena oil, is desperately waiting for the return of his love.
