The ultra-joyful notes of Hanae

With Hanae, the Japanese designer wanted an ultra-joyful fragrance, brimming with happiness, that of a bride and of two beings uniting. The bucolic and poetic universe of Hanae is paired with a fruity, floral, and particularly sparkling scent. Hanae opens on sparkling, fresh notes of bergamot. This blends with the gourmand, sweet notes of red apple and blackcurrant. Then the garden of Madagascar, a symbol of happiness, takes over the composition. Jasmine is, notably, always present in bridal bouquets. Orange blossom lends its luminous, radiant side here. As for wild strawberry, it adds a sweet, soft touch to the garden of Madagascar, offering a truly bucolic garden. The base is creamy and enveloping, with sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla, and patchouli. The bottle, too, is highly poetic. Rectangular, it presents a sober, refined look. Its cap is shaped like butterfly wings. A small white flower is also tucked at the neck. One finds again the nature and the butterfly so dear to Hanae Mori's childhood.

The secret garden of Hanae dreams of happiness, joy, and enchanting, magical scents. This very particular fragrance simply symbolizes happiness. With Hanae, Hanae Mori reveals another part of her intimacy, her personal life. The forest, nature, birds, and the butterfly are ever present, helping us to escape.
