A story which questions, challenges, and redefines the traditional notions of femininity and independence. The tragedy of Giacomo Puccini’s Cio-Cio San has inspired numerous artistic works including several fragrances. Senyokô portrays Puccini’s Madama Butterfly in contrast to the traditional narrative. Madama Butterfly II is presented as the reborn Cio-Cio San, an optimist relieved of her sadness. This new fragrance is a novel representation of Cio-Cio San celebrating her reincarnation and independence: journey with Cio-Cio San as she transcends her state of innocence to achieve liberation. One fine day, Cio-Cio San is by the sea. The reborn Cio-Cio San is deep in contemplation, wondering what her new life holds. Confident, strong and empowered, no longer does Cio-Cio San yearn for Lieutenant Pinkerton’s affection.
