Hera is the perfume I created for my eldest daughter for her wedding day. Originally, it was intended just for her, but my daughter Jasmine insisted that she would like to share Hera with the rest of the world.
I am therefore delighted that Hera is being added to the Papillon collection.
It is a perfume I am extremely proud of, mainly because I was able to use some of my and my daughters' favourite fragrances, and because of the feelings associated with this creation.
Hera contains the following absolutes: jasmine, orange blossom, ambrette, May rose, Turkish rose, iris, narcissus and ylang-ylang. Together with heliotrope, clary sage, bergamot, vanilla, labdanum and musk, Hera is a festive bouquet of floral notes. It is entirely modern, but with a subtle nod to fragrances from a bygone era, a creative style for which I have become known. I hope you love this new perfume as much as I do."
The packaging
Hera is an Extrait de Parfum and will be available in 50 ml bottles. The packaging for this fragrance is a reversal of Papillon's brand colours, the black and gold packaging used for the Eau de Parfums. Instead, Hera is packaged in a high-quality golden box with black foil. The reversed colour scheme of the packaging makes it easy to distinguish the Extrait from the Eau de Parfum, which adds to the overall luxury of Hera. The bottle is also screen-printed with gold, which contains real gold particles.
