Description
Mademoiselle Fleur’s garden was famous for its butterflies. Every spring they arrived in clouds: little blues, painted ladies, swallowtails with their elegant trailing wings. She planted lavender and buddleia just for them and spent whole afternoons in a deck chair with a sketchbook, trying to capture their colors before they flew. Her neighbors joked that the butterflies had a standing reservation at her house.
One summer she imagined how wonderful it would be to bring them indoors, perched on the perfume egg that stood on her dressing table, ready to take wing whenever she opened it. This butterfly perfume egg, resting on its matching stand and finished with a coordinating tassel, captures that delightful idea. Keep it in mind for a wildflower enthusiast, a bride, a gardener who plants for pollinators, or a friend who collects pretty things for her vanity. Arrange it on a dressing table or a bedroom shelf among framed botanical prints. Its tassel adds a soft, graceful flourish.
