This item is no longer available. Browse our recommendations for something similar.

Details & care

What it is: An eau de parfum beloved for its lingering impression of vanilla despite not a drop of vanilla appearing in its formula.

Fragrance story: The vanilla note is achieved through the blend of wild strawberries from the South of France, Bulgarian rose and almond wood from Hawaii. The embodiment of nature and cosmopolitan sophistication, Butterfly invites you to experience the ultimate in femininity and freedom. The fragrance is an enchanting counterpoint between Hanae Mori’s rural upbringing in pine-dotted southern Japan and her youthful exposure to Paris’ swirling elegance.

Notes: Wild strawberries, sweet blackberries, blackcurrants, bilberries, Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, French peony, almond wood, sandalwood, rosewood, cedar.

Sweet Floral Vanilla

This perfume has such a unique floral vanilla scent, it is my absolute favorite. It smells like a beautiful sunny day no matter when you wear it. It is sweet without being overwhelming. I have had more compliments on this scent than any other. It is classic.

Lacks Originality

I was excited to try this perfume as the reviews seemed pretty good but I was quite disappointed. This particular scent smells like many fragrances I have used myself during early high school years. It doesn’t have a note that sticks out more than the other. It is well balanced but it’s just not a head turner for me. It seems to have longevity which is great but this almost reminds me of a VS Pink body mist. Sweet not headache inducing but very youthful. Great for a pre-teen/ teen as a starter perfume!

It's Back--Yeay!

Thrilled that Nordstrom is carrying this delightful scent again! It's been my favorite for many years, til the perfumer stopped sending it to the U.S. for a while. Even looked for it while in Paris last month to no avail. It's a subtle, clean scent that lasts all day.

Hanae Mori

This Hanae Mori 'Butterfly' Eau de Parfum is such a nice fragrance, I have loved this for years and will keep wearing it as long as it is made! I get compliments from everyone. The fragrance is light and long lasting, it stays on all day. You can wear it for all occasions, and it doesn't change is't smell even though it gets hot in the summer, you smell just as beautiful.

Sophisticated & Fresh

I've been wearing Hanae Mori "Butterfly" for years & it routinely elicits compliments. It's such a sophisticated fragrance, but somehow still manages to remain light and fresh. Pair it with the body lotion for lingering effects & grab the roll-on for your purse.

thank you Nordstrom

I loved this perfume in college and was recently reminded of it. Nordstrom was the only retailer I could find it at so had to buy two bottles. It is a gorgeous, sophisticated scent without being cloyingly sweet. Now in my 30’s, I appreciate this perfume so much more.

Luxurious without being overpowering

I love this perfume. I used to use this religiously about 10 years ago, and I am happy to be using it again. It’s got a really warm and feminine feel to it. It’s not a citrus-y spring-y scent so if that’s what you want this is not right for you. It’s luxurious without being overpowering.

absolutely amazing

If you like vanilla, then this is your sent. Very nice and unique perfume. Definitely different from all perfumes that I have. I feel like all notes are similaires . What smell looks like ? You will smell vanilla, jasmine, almond in a nice way. The smell does note change at all, you keep smelling the same notes as the first time you spray it. Very sexy and romantic. My husband like it too. It last hours after in your clothes . Yes I will recommande it.

Named after a butterfly what is more beautiful.

Hanae Mori has been my personal fave for a long time. I always feel good wearing it. The bottle is lovely and lasts forever. I did purchase it when there was a gift with purchase! Always the best and which I am a total sucker, but that is why I love Nordstrom!!

Classic, airy scent

Yay! I love this perfume. It's one of my favorites. It's very light but long lasting. Compliments whenever I wear it. It puts me in a good mood whenever I spray it!

Hanae Mori "Butterfly"

I received this perfume as a Christmas gift last year and I must say I have been in love with it ever since. I've gone through three bottles already and it's almost time for my fourth. It's the perfect perfume for ANY event. It's long lasting and a little bit goes a long way. Unlike most perfume that compliments you better depending on the season, this Hanae Mori compliments well during ANY season. Definitely worth the purchase! It's perfect for any age. Both my mom and grandmother love it as well.

Not quite what I remember

The scent does not quite meet my expectations. I love this fragrance but this bottle just did not embody the pizzazz that I remember. The aroma is almost none existent.
