Musk Butterfly is a fresh, green rose from By Kilian, released in 2021 for women and composed by Mathieu Nardin. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, under half add woody, and a minority find green, musky and fresh sides.

Aldehydes and litchi open it with a sparkling, slightly sweet, rosy brightness. Turkish and Damask rose form the heart, fresh and petal-like rather than jammy, with geranium adding a minty, green rosiness and violet and violet leaf bringing a cool, powdery, cucumber-like freshness. Ambrette, a plant-derived musk, gives the base a soft, slightly nutty, skin-like warmth, while sandalwood and a light touch of oud add a smooth, dry woodiness beneath the flowers.

There are no community reports yet on how long it lasts or how far it projects. A green rose on soft musk suits spring and summer daytime, and the scent should appeal to people who like rose kept light, clean and close to the skin.
