"Many of my perfume creations are heavily influenced by periods of history, romantic and literary concepts, nature, people, and works of art. Much like a painting or a piece of poetry, they are fragments drawn from these muses that combine and transform into something entirely new," says Liz Moores, the woman behind the brand Papillon Artisan Perfumes . "When I create a perfume, I think about colors, textures, and places. I imagine the people who might apply the fragrance to their skin and hope that the perfume will help them express their unique, personal nuances," she adds. So who is Liz Moores, and what is so special about her brand's products? Here is a brief overview of this perfume house and its products. The woman behind the brand, Liz Moores, began her olfactory journey while working as a massage therapist. She would often incorporate essential oils and discovered that they helped her clients relax and recover. She says she had always been interested in perfumes, and for years bought and collected niche fragrances. Perfumery was what truly intrigued her, and she wanted to know what perfumes were made of. The result eventually took shape in the founding of her perfume brand. Papillon Artisan Perfumes is a London perfume house she established, with the aim of working with the finest, rarest, and most expensive ingredients from around the world to create exquisite fragrances and bespoke perfumes. At the beginning of her journey, some of them were extremely difficult for her to source. But gradually, the difficulty became a challenge, and today the use of unusual materials in her work provides her with great inspiration. The perfumes she creates are presented simply and without gimmicks. Her work embodies her personal philosophy that honesty and integrity will inevitably create something beautiful. And so, a collection of beautiful, handcrafted fragrances is created using the finest raw materials in the world, from Osmanthus blossoms from China, Rose Centifolia from France, pink Lotus from Egypt, and exotic spices and resins from around the world. Although these rare and expensive ingredients, which are seldom found in mainstream perfumes, are often used here in generous proportions, Liz creates these niche fragrances with skill and passion. All the perfumes are wonderfully composed, have Eau de Parfum strength, and use very high percentages of pure extrait. These fragrances are handcrafted, as mentioned, and filled into their signature bottles almost one by one. The Angelique perfume by Papillon Artisan Perfumes is a Pirchoni Yarok fragrance for women and men. Angelique was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is, of course, Liz Moores. The notes of this fragrance from Papillon Artisan Perfumes include Orris, which gives it an earthy, Avkati root scent with floral nuances of violet wood; Osmanthus, a flower that smells like Apricot, soft and sensual, with a milky skin and woody character; Mimosa, which conveys very sweet Pirchoni Avkati notes with light green and woody nuances; the warm-headed, floral champaca flower; and Cedarwood, which gives a soft woody scent originating in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco or Virginia in the United States. It should be noted that there are also many synthetic materials that smell like cedar when used. However, Liz has committed to using the genuine products, so it is very unlikely that she did so here. There is also frankincense, which releases a Balsami, Raanan, slightly Yarok, Atzi, and spicy scent with a Peiruti top note. This is a fragrance that remains on the skin for a long time. It is highly noticeable in intimate situations. It is especially suitable for warm summer days and is very popular and beloved by those who have experienced it on their skin.
