Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 Review (Liz Moores) 2021+ Sacred Chimera Draw

Natural cycles, numerology, the study of ancient texts: all of these ineffably matter. One cannot affix a price to such things; they are the rhythms of a society which run deep beneath our trappings of civilization. I’m particularly consumed with sanctified subtext, and I suspect that award-winning artisanal perfumer Liz Moores is as well. Her latest fragrance was inspired by the Egyptian Book of the Dead: Papillon Artisanal Perfumes Spell 125 involves The Weighing of the Heart, a ceremony which Ancient Egyptians believed occurred after death. An individual’s heart would be weighed against a feather; at the culmination of this ceremony, the heart (seen as the nucleus of intelligence and emotion) was weighed by the jackal-headed god of embalming, Anubis. If the scales balanced, Osiris received the deceased and granted them eternal life.

Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 revolves around the number 7 – holy to many cultures and faith systems (it’s also my favorite number). Perfumer Liz Moores’ seventh perfume was released in the perfumery’s seventh year, on the seventh day of the seventh month. It completes a cycle which commenced with another Egyptian-themed fragrance –  Ms. Moores’ first, Anubis. All niceties aside, this would have felt hollow, were not Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 such an exquisite entity and worthy of every morsel of hyperbole it has received. It is going on my best of 2021 without a moment’s hesitation. Spell 125 is bottled ensorcellation, such an exalting scent that its mystical loveliness is an absolute joy to wear. If your spirit, your corporeal and/or shadow self have been ailing, I firmly believe that this is the panacea; it has that effect upon me.

I truly appreciate that Ms. Moores doesn’t churn out release upon release, but rather invests her considerable energies into honing a fragrance to her exacting standards before it goes to market. She normally utilizes a fair number of naturals, but in Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 the list appears to be fully botanical and the materials are splendid. Pared down to the divine essential, this perfume is composed precisely: there is no need for the superfluous, because each element is so multi-faceted that their individual nuances kick in and emulate a much larger list of components.

To demonstrate how these substances sing in multiple voices at once like the Tibetan monks’ legendary harmonic chanting, we might begin with the conifers. Siberian pine has a magnificent complexity: it is light yet powerful and tenacious, with its sweet fruity balsamic tones and crisp dry top note; it contributes a certain woody warmth. Black hemlock is a marvelous partner for Siberian pine due to its berry-plentiful, juicy jammy quality. As if that alone weren’t sufficient, black hemlock adds an ambery richness as well. Each material is a perfume all by itself, and when combined a certain character manifests which resembles intricate embroidery.

 

 The Influence of Ancient Egypt on 21st century perfumery

Frieze of Nefertiti making an offering. Egypt, ca. 1350 B.C.E. From the collection of the Brooklyn Museum of Art. 

 What follows is the juxtaposition of chalorous tones with cooler ones: each participant is complete, versatile and satisfying alone. When they join forces, a handsome chiaroscuro occurs. It feels sacred and worldly, singing of the sea, soil and sap. The spiritual tears of trees, the heartwood of matter, the flower come to fruition and the salinity of birth pass before your nostrils; it smells familiar, comforting and ancient indeed. Ambergris lends its marine muskiness, subtly underscoring Spell 125 with its tenderly animalic salty breath on the wind; precious green sacra frankincense has a clarifying quality, coolly powerful and studded with rich citrus facets which smell sweet and sharp, crystalline as a mountain stream and equally refreshing. Earthly abundance assumes the form of sultry ylang ylang’s elaborate scent profile: spicy, waxy-fruity, banana-like, lactonic and animalic floral. She’s so complicated and delightful – especially when keeping company with Indian sandalwood’s creamy earthy/meditative personality. Suavity meets spirituality in a place where there are no rough edges to be found, only a wedding of heaven and earth. Many fragrances of late have been touted as meditative, and perhaps they are; Spell 125 is incontestably among the finest available, and one which I must possess, a sacred chimera.

Notes: white ambergris, Siberian pine, black hemlock, green sacra frankincense, ylang ylang, Indian sandalwood.

 N.B. – I’d like to note that, in the drydown – Spell 125 shares a distinct lineage with Jacques Guerlain’s Djedi and Sultan Pasha’s Thebes 1. This is high praise indeed. Only by placing them side by side can one trust the comparison (because the listing of notes is not the same). Djedi is another perfume unicorn; Thebes 1 I refer to as my “In questa tomba oscura” attar, as Sultan is well aware. I’ve not seen others remark upon this aspect of Papillon’s latest fragrance.

  • Wow, Ida. This review is magnificent. Everyone will be desperate to sample Spell 125 after hearing the “singing of the sea, soil, and sap.” ❤️ Indigo Perfumery should prepare well! Personally, I will always chase after white ambergris. I can’t wait to try some of this fully botanical creation. This kind of scent is exactly what one hopes for (thoughtfully crafted over time, excellent materials, artistic vision, beauty, complexity, etc). I did not know about Papillon Artisan Perfumes, but I plan to know much more in the immediate future, thank you CaFleureBon! This is exactly why I adore you all & send thanks for your work! Thank you for the notes on Djedi & Thebes 1. Thank you for the detailed look at the ingredients. Thank you for the opportunity to own this beauty! USA

  • Danu Seith-Fyr says:

    Not eligible, but a magnificent piece of prose, from the Mistress herself, completely entrancing as per Liz Moores latest offering to the Gods and mere Mortals. Living in SW France is always an advantage except for this draw limited to the USA.

  • oakmossink says:

    I resonate with Ida’s experience so very much; the juxtaposition of the earthly and spiritual, the sacred and worldly. I had the joy of stopping in to Indigo Perfumery this past week and meeting Ann and smelling Spell 125. We were on our way home from a funeral and frayed from the long drive from Chicago to Baltimore and from mourning. I’ve been doling out my sample of Spell 125 since and it comforts me, even while it baffles me.

  • 7 Perfumes in 7 years. Spell 125 sounds very special. I did sample tobacco Rose another favorite. Love the notes from Spell 125. The idea behind this fragrance tells a story. Ida did a wonderful job describing the emotions and feelings involved. This sounds like a Gem from her collection. Thank you for this Chance USA

  • NikkoNikko says:

    I picked up Anubis during a visit to Portland last month and I can totally understand what Ida means about this house having an ancient feeling to it. The metaphor about the notes harmonizing like a Gregorian chant is spot on. The story behind this perfume and timing of the release date is awesome. Spell 125 seems like the perfect companion to my bottle of Anubis and ill be getting my nose on it as soon as I can! Hopefully sooner than later! Thanks for the opportunity to win, from Idaho USA

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I had the chance to sniff one spray from my local shop as she had a tiny vial and was allowing a small sniff to allow as many customers as possible to experience it. A meditative fragrance seems like a good thing for this time in the world, letting us not forget to be still as we bustle about our lives again. I like that “marriage of heaven and earth”. I have never heard of the fragrance Djedi, I’ll have to look that one up. I am anxious to try this on skin, of course, hoping I win, but if not I fortunately have a local shop to give it a try. USA.

  • I’m in love, already.
    I’ve been waiting forever to hear the first reviews of Liz’ latest creation and truly not surprised to read about how beautiful it is.
    Frankincense, among with most resins and incense is my first love but when I heard Ylang was an added feature I about cried….
    I love everything in the Papillon line, but this one, will probably rival my beloved Salome for the top prize!
    Thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart for the review and the chance to win a bottle (I’d die!)
    USA

  • Dubaiscents says:

    I was so happy to try this amazing scent yesterday and now, coincidentally, I can enjoy another lovely Ida review (she does such a better job of explaining these scents then I ever could). I adored the mix of pine with incense and the ylang-ylang adds just a touch of unusual to the whole thing. Liz has really outdone herself this time! I have several bottles from this house but Anubis is probably my favorite. I would love to add this to my collection. Thank you Ann, Indigo and Cafleurebon for this chance! US

  • I loved imaging what “sea, soil, sap” smells like. My phone autocorrected “soil” to “soul.” And I think that is appropriate. I have tried Anubis and want to smell the whole line! CA, USA

  • drewactor says:

    I agree with Ida that one of the things I admire most about Liz is she takes her time and doesn’t rush any france, only to release them when they are her vision made reality. I just tried this and love it. I also like how you point out that Liz seems to use only botanical this time around. My favorite of hers is still Salome. In VA USA. Thabk you all for the draw.

  • Belladonna says:

    Oh my, –I love the description but what really got my attention – “If your spirit, your corporeal and/or shadow self have been ailing, I firmly believe that this is the panacea; it has that effect upon me”. Difficult to select a favorite but Anubis is the front-runner. Thank you for the generous opportunity! In the US

  • Big fan of Anubis one of the best frags I have smelled
    Great review Ida especially tying in the meditative part
    USA
    Thanks to INdigo

  • Fantastic review! A great read. What I loved most about the review (aside from the timing—I was just about to buy a sample of Spell 125 when I saw this review and draw!) was Ida’s exploration of the Egyptian history underpinning the name and general vibe of the fragrance. Earlier today, I was wondering, “Hmm, Spell 125… I wonder what that means?” Now, I know! And my curious to know what this smells like is stronger than ever.

    Cheers from NC, USA.

  • I agree that Liz takes her time to create perfumes. I love Anubis so much that I have two bottles of it. One of the fragrances I want to smell badly is Djedi so it is comforting to know that Spell 125 has some connection to Djedi. My fav. from Papillon is Anubis. I am in US.

  • I found it interesting that Spell 125 was released in the perfumery’s seventh year, on the seventh day of the seventh month. Very cool! It seems like an earthy meditative scent that I would enjoy. Thanks for the opportunity to sniff! Mich USA

  • patrick_348 says:

    This is another vivid review from Ida. I love how she takes a cultural context related to death and embalming and describes its perfume analogy in a way that makes it seem glamorous and appealing. “Bottled ensorcellation”–what a great turn of phrase! And with only six notes listed, Ida does a great job of explaining the subtleties of each one, making it clear why no more are needed. I have never tried a Papillon Artisan perfume, but this review makes me want to explore the brand In the US, in NC.

  • jmmcmenamin says:

    I love the story of the weighing of the heart!
    I’m not familiar with the brand, but Bengale Rose sounds lovely. Located in Louisiana, USA.

  • I have tried a small sample of Spell 125. Ida’s very poetic review does this perfume justice. I am a big fan of Papillon Artisan Perfumes. My two favorites are Tobacco Rose and Salome.
    USA

  • Ida’s description of how the notes of this one work together makes it sound fascinating. I haven’t had a chance to sample any of the Papillon Artisan Perfumes, but I’ve heard wonderful things about Moores’s work. Maybe I’ll get a chance to try this one. I’m in Oklahoma, USA. Thanks, as always, for the draw!

  • The explanation of the inspiration of the scent was great. I really enjoyed the description of the scent and how each note contributes multiple scent profiles. Ive not tried anything from Papillon yet but would love to and Spell 125 sounds wonderful. Thanks for the generous draw, from CT USA.

  • ccwperfume says:

    I love the comparison to Guerlain Djedi, another mysterious and beautiful fragrance. My favorite Papillon fragrance is Angelique. I have never loved iris but this one changed my mind. Thanks for the opportunity. With love from California.

  • joshuabrian says:

    Great review! I loved all the old world imagery. I’m sure my fiancé would love this one! From USA.

  • Julesinrose says:

    I always love whatever Ida writes but the word “ ensorcellation” is fantastic! I have a ton of respect for Liz Moores, having read quite a bit about her perfume making process. . I’ve only tried one of her fragrances, Tobacco Rose, which I like very much. In Maine, USA

  • AleksCipri says:

    When I was young I really loved reading about Egyptian history and mythology. It was very interesting reading the intro and inspiration for this amazing perfume. I really love meditative fragrances, and the way Ida describes Spell 125, this perfume is right down my alley. I haven tried any of the Papillon Artisan Perfumes, they are a bit outside of my price range. I’m from Illinois, US.

  • I enjoyed most the descriptive paragraphs on how Spell is experienced by the reviewer. I don’t have a house fave, I haven’t tried any. US

  • Spell 125 sounds absolutely dreamy. Ida has such a way with words that I am ensorceled just reading it. I have never actually tried any Papillon Artisan Perfumes, but this review has me over at their site picking out samples. I am in the US.

  • Jed Or Alive says:

    I always enjoy Ida’s reviews, and this one is no exception. I especially appreciate that she explores the story and inspiration behind the perfume. As a fan of Papillon, especially Anubis, I was already very eager to try this one. With the comparisons (in the drydown, at least) to Djedi and Thebes, there’s no doubt in my mind that I need to get my nose on this asap. Located in California.

  • Cynthia F. says:

    I have heard nothing but extremely high praise for Liz Moores’ perfumery. And what an enchanting review- a flood of olfactory imagery in words. This fragrance seems almost incomprehensible. Ancient Egypt is fascinating and the idea of capturing it’s scent is very exciting . I would love to experience it as I have not tried any of Papillon’s perfumes. Texas, USA

  • rachel wiener says:

    Thank you Ida, this is the most gorgeous review yet of Spell 125! I love how you describe the perfume as a tapestry weaving what just happen to be my most favorite notes together into a marriage of heaven and earth. I adore Anubis which I don’t own (yet) though this one sounds like my dream scent. I am in awe of Liz’s integrity and creative imagination and she seems like a delightful person from what I’ve gathered from interviews. I mean she has an , pet spider and Raven for Goddess sake! I’d be over the moon to be able to have this magical elixir.

  • Ida, your reviews help me travel mentally and emotionally while not physically leaving. The description sounds somewhat sacred, aided for me by the sandalwood and frankincence. I love Anubis and Spell 125 sounds just as beautiful. NC USA

  • Fragrance Capital says:

    A magnificent review, I’m really enjoyed reading it and found myself writing about it even I’m not eligible for the draw. I’m Egyptian and one of my dreams is to create an Egyptian fragrance brand that represents the rich history of Egypt and the beauty of Egyptian ingredients.

  • Ida’s review claims Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 to be the best of 2021 – it is indeed a very high accolade from someone who has sampled many a fine perfume. I am naturally very intrigued. It’s heartening to note that the perfumer is not in a rush to churn perfumes, but takes her time to create masterpieces. Unfortunately, no experience with this brand, yet. Hopefully the Lady Luck will shine on me in this draw. Appreciate the review and draw. I am in the USA.

  • Jim Kolmar says:

    I love the reference to “marine muskiness”. I wonder about mythical creatures woken from the deep, energized and fresh from a fight with Cthulhu… ready to do battle in a more earthly realm. I can imagine from this review it’s somewhere deep in a dark, dank forest, waiting for the opportunity. I’m sure it’s something feral, ethereal and miraculous. I’m in the US of A.

  • Spell 125 sounds ancient and modern all at once. You have certainly given it high praise and I am excited to try it out. In Maryland.

  • This review is so poetic! I love the vocabulary, like “chalorous”. And I love the idea of a perfume that evokes chiaroscuro. My favorite Papillon perfume is Dryad, followed closely by Bengale Rouge. I live in the US. Thanks for doing another lovely draw!

  • Lovely review Ida. I like your prescription of Spell 125 as a panacea for an ailing spirit (which I’m sure applies to most of us). I’m intrigued by the notes which seem to consist of abundance from the earth and sea; black hemlock, white ambergris, and green sacra frankincense. I wish I lived closer to Indigo Perfumery to sniff this creation. I’m in MD, USA.

  • One of the reasons I like Ida Meister reviews, is her being honest. Most of Cafleurebon contributors will not have the …. to mention that the fragrance they reviewing reminded them of other well known colognes…even slightly. Kudos to you Ida.
    BSpell 125 is woody, aromatic, supernatural and related to ancient Egypt. I’m intrigued.
    Thank you Ida, and Indigo Perfumery
    USA

  • Aquafortis says:

    Ida’s writing is exceptional and just draws one in like a lucid dream. I most enjoyed her ability to place Liz Moore’s modern interpretation and incarnation of Spell 125 within the mysterious and ancient context of Pharonic Egypt and the cryptic allure of Gods, demigods, and long-lost rituals of death and rebirth. I have not been able to sample many from the Papillon line, but did very much enjoy Anubis.

  • I enjoyed Ida’s very detailed description of Spell 125’s notes and the feelings they evoke. I am a fan of all of Liz Moores’ creations and my favorite Papillon fragrance is Salome. Thank you Indigo for the draw, I live in Littleton, Colorado USA.

  • What a fantastic review Ida! I’ve never had an opportunity to sample a Papillon perfume. I don’t usually buy samples but I might make an exception for this one! White ambergris sounds very interesting. And knowing that Spell 125 will make Ida’s best of 2021 adds to my lemming. Can not wait to try this!
    I’m in the US.

  • Uncle1979 says:

    Spiritual review by Ida . Her take on Spell 25
    reminded mr of making and eating Basbousa with orange blossom water , and burning incense.
    Basbousa is really popular in Egypt, and Egyptian diaspora in US.
    I have no experience with Papillon Perfums…for now.
    Appreciate the review, and the giveaway campaign
    USA

  • Bravo, Ida, for this beautiful review!!
    Such a interesting perfume inspired by The Weighing of the Heart ceremony. I am intrigued. Love pine in perfumery very much and will be happy get this magnificent my collection,
    USA

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    If finest ingredients are used, the smell is voluptuous , there’s incense, sandalwood and ancient Egypt mysticism , I’m interested.
    Thank you Ida and Indigo Perfumery
    USA

  • mariotgomez says:

    I enjoyed how Ida shared the numerology behind this fragrance.

    I had just received an order from Tigerlily Perfumery. To my surprise and fortuitous, a sample of Spell 125 was included. I had just opened my package, as I began to read this article.
    I was hesitant to try the sample since it includes a Siberian Pine note in the fragrance, which I am not fond of. But, Liz does her magic in having the note perfectly balance, never overwhelming the other notes.
    Before trying Spell 125, Salome was my favorite Papillon sent. Now, it is a tie. So, knowing the numerology, trying it on, and how the dry down is being compared to Djedi, Spell 125 is being added to my wishlist of scents to purchase.
    I live in the USA.

  • Edward Gergely Nagy says:

    What a thorough review, Ida paints a well-rounded picture of what to expect with Spell 125 and shares that magic with us. So far, my favourite perfume has been Angelique but Bengale Rouge was a close second for that beautiful drydown.

  • WaltherP99 says:

    Vivid review by Ida , i really enjoyed it.
    I’m familiar with Papillon Perfums , I know all of their fragrances, excluding Spell 125. I was curious about Anubis , the main reason I got the official sample set. I used to travel quite often to London, before ….. £30 is what i paid ~2 years ago.
    There’s specific DNA that runs through all Papillon Perfums fragrances . All are nice in their own way, BUT all are connoisseurs type of scents , Try before you buy!
    If I have to rate my favorite ones:
    1.Anubis
    2.Bengale Rouge
    3.Tobacco Rose
    From Spell 125 I’m expecting the traditional funky facets, the pine , the incense, sandalwood and slight throwback to the 80s.
    All profiles I already follow
    Thank you
    USA

  • Ida’s writing is so engaging! Thank you for all the Egyptian history and beautiful photos of artistry. My favorite fragrance is Bengale Rouge. A true masterpiece as wll. Spell 25 sounds amazing “Spell 125 is incontestably among the finest available, and one which I must possess, a sacred chimera.”Please, Please. USA Thank you Ann and Ida.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thank you for such a beautiful review Ida.

    I’m just in awe of the harmonious nature of these notes, with the concept that is being conveyed. The comparison to Djedi and Thebes 1 is high praise indeed. While I haven’t smelt these fragrances, I have read multiple reviews about them.

    I imagine myself taken back to this ceremony, the scent of incense wafting through the air at night, the salty breeze from over the Niles cooling down the evening, flowers strewn around everywhere as offerings, with all the denizens scented with wonderful resins and sandalwood paste.

    Ahh, this review made me day dream for a while.

    I have not smelt anything from this house before unfortunately.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Such a well written review by Ida! Bravo! I just love how she highlights each of the materials in Liz’s masterful work, but verbally interlaces them much as the perfumer has done in an olfactive manner. What strikes me about Spell 125 is the melding of the sacred and the earthly, it’s that exact moment when an terrestrial being is on the threshold of the spiritual realm. I think this is what Liz is trying to convey through her finely honed composition. The only fragrance I have had the pleasure of sampling from Liz’s oeuvre is Bengal Rouge, which is fantastic in and of itself. Thanks so much for the chance to try the beguiling and intriguing Spell 125. I’m in Oregon, USA.

  • Another beautiful review from Ms. Meister, she has a way of painting olfactory pictures with her words and mixing in a little historical/cultural lesson that teaches me something new. I’m impressed that it has gone on her Best of 2021 list and she calls it a “joy to wear.” That’s some high praise but I’m not surprised from this house. My favorite right now would be Bengale Rouge but I’m impressed by everything I’ve tried. I’m in the US and I’ll be sampling this one for sure.

  • I appreciate how Ida caused me to have an understanding of what this fragrance is like without me ever having smelled it. Based on how Ida wrote about this fragrance, I can tell that she takes this fragrance seriously and now I do too. I definitely want to try this fragrance and I want to see what Ida was talking about. I haven’t tried any releases yet from Papillon Artisan Perfumes. I live in MD., U.S.A.

  • So beautiful review, Ida.
    This perfume sounds very rich- it’s interesting combination of sharp citrus, creamy sandalwood, Siberian pine, ylang-ylang.
    I am not familiar with Papillon perfumes.
    US

  • IvanVelikov says:

    Siberian pine, balsamic tones, ambery richness , marine muskiness, frankincense and pinch of Egyptian mysticism, Spell 125 is artistic fragrance i’d like to try.

    Never had a chance to smell Papillon Perfums.
    Thanks
    USA

  • redwheelbarrow says:

    What a beautiful, poetic review. There are some interesting notes that I’ve never heard of her like black hemlock and Siberian pine. This sounds so beautiful, earthy and grounded. I have not had the opportunity to sample any of Papillon’s perfumes yet. Thank you for the draw. I am in the US.

  • sephrenia300 says:

    Lovely review! I particularly liked the way you tied Spell 125 back to Papillon’s first fragrance, Anubis, and the imagery that wove through your review. Anubis is so far my favorite Papillon perfume, but I can’t wait to try more. I’m in the US, and thanks for the draw opportunity as well.

  • petergigov says:

    Judging by Ida Meister review of Spell 125 , and previous Papillon Artisan Perfumes reviews on Cafleurebon, I tend to believe a lot of Liz Moores work is throwback to the 70s and 80s.
    Pine , incense, slightly salty and animalic feel , all balanced with creamy sandalwood. I like it.
    Nice giveaway, USA
    Regards

  • Are all Papillon Artisan Perfumes inspired by Ancient Egypt? I have a sample of Anubis , that’s why I asked. Deep dark leathery balsamic fragrance with pronounced sweet, floral and warm spicy nuances .
    Spell 125 and Anubis are like two brothers, together ruling the kingdom, first one during the day , and second one in the night.
    Thanks for the draw
    USA

  • This perfume just sounds so conceptual! It really just seems like a work of art from the description. It really just sounds like a spell…definitely something to smell in person! I don’t have a favorite from Papillon because I haven’t tried anything from the house before. I live in the USA. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • goodnight_moons says:

    I haven’t tried any Papillon scents yet, but I’ve been wanting to and this makes me even more excited! (I’m also a bit of a word nerd, so I’ll be chewing over “sanctified subtext” for a while, and was gratified to learn the term “chalorous”…)
