This fragrance is inspired by Madama Butterfly, an Italian opera by Giacomo Puccini.
Cio-Cio-San means Butterfly in Japanese. This is how the American officer Pinkerton nicknamed the very young heroine of this opera who fell madly in love with him.
The iodized notes of the Nagasaki berry mingle with the scents of the Sakura cherry tree under which the very young Geisha Cio-Cio-San, perfumed with verbena oil, is desperately waiting for the return of his love.
