Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

When Italian chic meets a fruity-floral fantasy, Les Copains Papillon is born.
This women's fragrance, released in 2004 as an eau de toilette, has become a true ode to femininity.
Born under the sun of Bologna, the Les Copains brand infused it with lightness and passion—the very qualities we love so much about Italian style.
Papillon gives a woman the feeling of an endless celebration. Its moderate sillage leaves a delicate yet memorable trail.
It is the choice of romantic, self-assured women who appreciate elegance and natural freshness.
An ideal companion for spring walks, summer dates, and sunny days, this fragrance wears lightly yet has character.
Although there are no official application recommendations, we suggest applying 3–4 sprays to the wrists and neck—enough for the fragrance to reveal its full beauty.
Thanks to its fruity-floral profile (Floral, Fruity), Papillon is especially lovely in warm weather, when notes of bergamot and melon come alive on the skin.
If you have fallen for Les Copains Papillon, take a look at similar fragrances: Faberlic Bouquet d’Aurore, Guerlain L'Instant de Guerlain Eau de Toilette, and Zermat Print in Yellow.
Each shares the same playful floral-fruity aesthetic, while offering its own distinctive accents.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
Top notes: bergamot, lemon, and orange create a sparkling citrus opening. At the heart of the fragrance bloom black currant, grapefruit, melon, and peach—a sweet, juicy core.
The base lends warmth and depth through amber, cardamom, cedar, jasmine, lily, magnolia, white musk, and violet.
Together, they create a multifaceted yet harmonious composition that unfolds gradually, revealing new nuances with every passing hour.
