Launched in 2021 by Ikiryo, Bees and Butterflies is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of sweetness and warmth. Created by Vincent of Dreamhouse, this composition opens with a vibrant fruity note that transitions into a heart of white floral and honey, creating a harmonious blend of natural and gourmand elements. The base notes of beeswax, animalic nuances, and amber add depth and a subtle earthiness to the fragrance.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an all-day warmth. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it time to evolve into its honeyed heart before venturing out. It pairs well with a cozy sweater or light jacket in cooler weather.

The story behind the bottle.
The gentle hum of a garden in full bloom, where bees flit between flowers and sunlight filters through leaves, creating dappled patterns on the ground.
