Papillon Artisan Perfumes
The Story of the Brand
Liz Moores founded Papillon Artisan Perfumes in 2011 and launched her first three fragrances in 2014: Anubis, Angélique and Salome. Her creations are inspired by history, romantic and literary concepts, the nature around her home, people and artwork. As with a painting or a poem, it is fragments of these muses that combine into something new. Papillon has since received many accolades, including at the Fragrance Foundation Awards, the Art and Olfaction Awards and Basenotes.
The Signature of the House
Characteristic are the square bottles with the butterfly on the label and compositions that are honest and rich, often with natural materials such as orris concrete, ambrette absolute, hay absolute and beachcombed ambergris. When composing, Liz Moores thinks of colours, textures and places, and of the people who will wear the scent.
Collections
The collection includes Anubis, Angélique, Salome, Tobacco Rose, Bengale Rouge, Dryad, Spell 125, Epona and Hera, the latter in pure parfum concentration.
Popular Fragrances
Anubis, the house's very first fragrance, became a bestseller. Salome won Basenotes awards for Best Feminine Fragrance and Best Niche Fragrance, and Tobacco Rose and Bengale Rouge are much loved too.

Why Fragrance Has No Gender
In niche perfumery, it is not about categories but about experience.
Many niche houses do not create their perfumes specifically for men or women. Instead, they tell a story, evoke a memory or bring an emotion to life. The scent takes centre stage, not the gender of the wearer.
At ParfuMaria, we believe a fragrance has no gender. Every scent develops in its own way through the natural chemistry of your skin. At Papillon Artisan Perfumes, too, you are free to choose, however a scent is described.
So try not to be guided too much by terms such as women, men or unisex. The most beautiful fragrance is not the one that fits a certain box, but the one in which you recognise yourself and which you enjoy wearing.
A fragrance does not choose a gender. A fragrance chooses a personality.
What the ParfuMaria Team Thinks About This Brand
We admire Papillon for Liz Moores' personal signature: every fragrance tells its own, often intimate story and is made with materials of exceptional quality. It is artisan perfumery in the truest sense.
