The story behind the bottle.
Madama Butterfly by Shiseido is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women that captures the essence of delicate femininity and lasting elegance. The composition opens with bright, fresh notes of rose and fruity accords, creating an initial burst of vibrancy. As it evolves, iris and violet introduce a subtle depth, while powdery and sweet undertones lend a soft, comforting warmth. This fragrance is an ode to the intricate beauty of Japanese culture, reflecting Shiseido’s heritage since 1872.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for a balanced wear. The bright top notes are fleeting but impactful, so reapply if needed to maintain its vibrant freshness throughout the day.
