2003: the world took its first breath of Papilon Oilily. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the fruit and floral families. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
The longevity is high — this one will stay with you for the long haul. Brand country — the Netherlands. Papilon Oilily — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
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
The scent of Papilon is built as an expressive line of development, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Oilily is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Fruit, Citrus, Whiteflower and Floral. It also reaches into Wood. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Floral and Fruit.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch juicy fruity opening notes: Cherry, Grapefruit and Peach.
When the opening settles you notice Jasmine, Lily and Rose holding a silky white floral direction. In the base the line is anchored through Cedar and Sandalwood, reinforcing a deep woody trail.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood with each one in a clear role. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High points to a sustained drydown presence.
Taken together Papilon sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
