One Of The Most Beautiful Scents I Have Encountered To Date...
Hasu-no-Hana is so well blended, individual notes are difficult to identify... It opens with an intoxicating mix of natural bergamot and slightly bitter orange before moving to its heart of what I believe to be a jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose combo, with slight patchouli and tonka bean support to sweeten things a tad further and iris adding a very minimal powdery quality. I know I am not doing the scent justice in that descriptor as it is truly a captivating combination of a number of well-blended notes, but the overall heart accord is not easy to describe, except in one word, "beautiful". The base is made up of the remnants of the heart notes with the tonka bean support growing in strength, coupling with a non-smokey vetiver and just the faintest trace of sandalwood. While I personally find this absolutely intoxicating on a lady, it is very unisex, IMO. Projection and longevity are both superb.

While Hasu-no-Hana is not the kind of scent I usually look for, I am definitely happy to have found it. It is one of those compositions that you just have to experience yourself to understand just how enticing it is. This, to me, is a "special occasion" kind of scent. It speaks class, beauty and sophistication to the extreme whenever I smell it. Hasu-no-Hana is expensive, and IMO deservingly so. 4.5 out of 5 stars, and highly recommended to all.

Elegant and High Class
Of the four Grossmith perfumes I have tried (decant samples) only one performed well on my skin. That one was Phul Nana. Shem el Nesim smelt like a very expensive talcumn powder, Amelia was lovely but had hardly any strength; and then there was Hasu no Hana.

Hasu no Hana started out with a slightly bitter bergamot and orange which died down in a few minutes allowing a lovely sherberty jasmine to come through. Nicely powdery but not too dusty, with some nice woody notes and a little sweet like vanilla but not quite. Elegant and high class. Wonderful.

Half an hour in and it started to remind me of something, a scent memory drifting in and out of my mind over the next couple of hours until a little lightbulb lit up and a word popped ino my head. Tabu.

'Really', I thought, 'Tabu? Grossmith compared to modern Tabu?'

So I did a side by side comparison and of course they smell nothing alike; but the dry down, aye there's the rub.

On my skin they are remarkably similar. Tabu much more bitter and far more spicey, brighter, more orangey. Tabu definitely could not be mixed up with the Grossmith and yet there is something.

The concensus of opinion (family) was that the Tabu was far nicer on my skin. The Hasu faded quicker that the Tabu, being almost gone by the five hour mark.

I can enjoy modern Tabu for what it is (a beastly watered down version of the original) and do. That on my skin it performs better than the Grossmith is an utter shock and, truth will out, not something I like to admit as I do rather like expensive perfume and particularly like the idea of Grossmith recreations of the past.

Which just goes to show something but I am not sure what it is.

Gosh! What a beautiful timeless beauty. I have only recently warmed to chypres and this is a stunner if there ever was one. The oakmoss, iris and tonka bean are very evident on the opening. The citrus notes add their usual freshness along with a bit of kick from the vetiver.
It is first and foremost a warm aromatic, earthy fragrance on my skin. I think it is very unisex and I would love to smell it on my fella.
I can see what folk mean about the tranquility and peace this fragrance evokes. Moderate sillage and longevity.

Elegant soft floral chypre
Hasu-no-hana opens with bergamot, but then goes right to a clove-y carnation. (I see that carnation is not among the listed notes here, but I swear I am getting eugenol or something very like it.)

If I am very attentive and put my nose right up to my hand (where I applied the fragrance) I can just about identify ylang ylang, but I cannot parse out any other florals in the heart. I agree with Dr. Seid, that it is quite lovely.

Hasu-no-hana ends with patchouli and tonka. I've worn it all day today, and the base is now all cinnamon/clove/vanilla, which is how I usually perceive tonka.

Overall, it's a lovely soft chypre, quite elegant.

This perfume shares a few notes with Shalimar Eau de Parfum . Before the fragrance properly settled and let those bits of the puzzle fall into place, my mind already made that connection. Now I cannot get rid of it.

Of course, there is more to this perfume. It is rich and sparkling. The transition from its Shalimarish top notes to that multi-layered floral body is magnificent. I get an ylang-ylang enriched with iris and tonka. Patchouli and vetiver in the base. Sounds simple, but there is depth and complexity. Enough to discover.

And yet, it is no use analyzing further. Everything screams Guerlain in my mind: Its top notes, its progression in distinct phases and even the way the base notes evoke a fuzzy warmth. I am losing it! Now, Guerlain is not bad in any way, but this association prevents me from appreciating the perfume as it is. Hit the reset button, I give up.

Such A Delicate fragrance for a Chypre. The oak moss is in there, but it's not sharp, so the blend is just heavenly! TIMELESS
