PAPILLON ARTISAN PERFUMES

NATURE. ARTISTRY. METAMORPHOSIS.

Founded in 2011 by perfumer Liz Moores in the heart of England's New Forest, Papillon Artisan Perfumes is a symphony of nature and artistry. 'Papillon'—French for 'butterfly'—perfectly captures the spirit of metamorphosis: transforming rare, raw materials into extraordinary fragrances that transport you beyond the ordinary. Each creation is handcrafted, blended in small batches using classical methods, making it a true work of art.

Meet the Founder, Liz Moores – The Heart Behind the Scent

For Liz Moores, inspiration is boundless. It is drawn from periods of history, romantic and literary concepts, people, artwork, and above all, the beauty of nature itself.

"Many of my perfume creations are greatly influenced by periods of history, romantic and literary concepts, nature, people and artwork; much like a painting or a piece of poetry it is the fragments which are extracted from these muses that combine and make something entirely new. When creating a perfume, I think of colours, textures and places. I imagine the people who may wear the fragrance and hope that the perfume will help them conjure their own unique and personal allusions.
