Dryad - eau de parfum

Dryad by Papillon is green, mossy, rich and very bohémien chic. The fragrance refers to mythical forest nymphs, and as the name suggests, it is a romantic green chypre with a slight retro feel. The perfume opens with vibrant galbanum and soft bergamot. After that, sweet herbed narcissus nestles and apricot and cedrat give warmth to the soft mossy, woody base.

Liz Moores was inspired to make this fragrance by a poem that her daughter Jasmin wrote:
“…..My body is swelling with the oak’s root and seed
Our veins and our vines weave together with ease,
And as your chatter dispels at the shake of our leaves,
You set your ear to our chest, to hear the whisper of trees.
We rise not in your throat, nor your mouth, nor your teeth.
But we streak coloured streams set to dazzle.”

Bergamot, Orange blossom, Styrax, Cedrat, Thyme, Oakmoss, Galbanum, Apricot, Benzoin, Orris, Lavender, Narcissus, Vetiver
