Japanese Poet

A very original and unique EdT. Sweet, virile flowers with citruses and vanilla.
It starts with a sparkling and sweet candied lemon note, accompanied by a strong ethyl-maltol. Soon lavender, black current and meadow bouquet become the main players. Drydown is made of sweet vanilla and almost gourmand chocolate.
A distinctive cologne. A westernized Japanese soul. More poet than engineer, more haiku than logarithm.

ありがとう森英恵 (Arigatō Hanae Mori)

At the top, it looks like Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche, but much more balanced and pleasant. There's a mixture of vanilla and lemon, but without harming us like Chanel does (at least that's my opinion). Lavender gives a good spice on the way out.

Afterwards there is a sweet and floral perfume. Jasmine predominates and chocolate appears along with vanilla. It is, therefore, a very delicate fragrance.

It's a great example of a very elegant sweet and floral fragrance for men, although I think women can use it well too.

Performance is equally good. Fixes well (about 8 hours on me) and projects reasonably in the first 2 hours. For the price, I think it's more than excellent (I paid €13 for 50ml)! Despite having bought blindly, I don't recommend that they do it. This is because it is a very different fragrance from the mainstream.

It's worth investing in a decant before or trying it out in a store (if you find one, of course).

My only problem is that I bought the 50ml instead of the 100ml. But it's certain that as soon as I'm done with this bottle, I'll buy another one (this time, the 100ml one)!

Arigatō Hanae Mori!

A Sweet Fruity and Floral Unique Composition for Romantic Occasions

It's a very unique fragrance for men and I have never smelled anything like this perfume before! It is complex , classy and sweet but not overpowering. I read comments and checked reviews on YouTube. Katie Puckrik explains this perfume very well. It opens up with like fresh sweet Lemon then it changes like sweet floral, dry down is sweet vanilla chocolate. If you like a very unique scent, you will like this one. Hanae Mori HM is suitable for the spring, summer and fall. Longevity is very good. I really enjoy it and I love HM Hanae Mori EDT.
Highly recommended.
Two Thumbs Up.

DNA equal, fresher in execution

For the EdP of HM I wrote a positive review many months ago and rated it with 10. Even today I still like this fragrance very much. It is unique and simply has a unique DNA that clearly stands out from many. Not such a typical scent, where you think you have smelled it somewhere before, of which there are so many on the market. In addition, the brand is very unknown and this fragrance or brand is available almost exclusively in Internet shops. Just a great insider tip. Here at parfumo the EdT & EdP are more known with some owners. By the way, the HiM is also really great. A cinnamon-woody spicy fragrance that completes the clear men's fragrances of this brand. Especially this HM is also very suitable for ladies because of its many sweet notes and flowery accents.

This EdT was actually not on my radar at all, since I already owned the EdP. I rather think less of these EdT,EdP,EdP Intense-blah blah blah. A lot of it is a waste of money, at least if you already have one of these series. Of course, there are often small differences, but I don't jump that much on it. Particularly with clearly higher prices I pay attention then with Flankern to the fact that the smell does not go too much in the direction of the already bought one.
In this case, you can't go wrong. 50ml for just over 20 Euro. The 100ml were unfortunately out of stock after Jeremy had caused a hype again and suggested this scent in a video for scents around 20 Euros. He said in it that the EdP is too sticky-sweet for him and the EdT is much fresher. He's right, in principle. This has screwed the citric much higher and is therefore much fresher. I like both of them very much, although with more freshness, this one is a little bit more suitable for men and could also score in summery temperatures, similar to the Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne.
What I simply like very much about this one is this beautiful sweet citric. Gourmands with freshness are not often found and here everything simply fits together. Balanced, likeable and just not too much. Especially the start with lemon-cassis paired with sweet notes is simply very convincingly different, especially for men.
The EdP is more for the nightlife, as it is extremely strong and sweet with crass performance. The EdT lost a little bit of its freshness, but still moves with very good performance. Due to more freshness, it can be used for several occasions
I can recommend both of them unconditionally. Who likes it fresher should buy this EdT

The versatile one

I don't even know how to begin a description of this fragrance?
He literally cast a spell over me by wearing it several times and never let go. But why?

Hanae Mori, a perfume house unknown to me until now, with drugstore bottles and quite little chic. Especially when unpacking the fragrance shipment, there was little joy, which immediately resulted in a cautious attitude towards the contents. I thought it would be fully synthetic and boring. But for 16 Euro (50ml) you can't go wrong, that's the price of a delivery order (comes quite often, so I can judge that!).

The text, however, should blow my mind...

First impression:

I cannot describe the fragrance in categories, I have the feeling that it combines almost every scent. But you can smell what you have to capture: vanilla, chocolate, tonka bean and, minimally, lemon. The remaining ingredients are hardly to smell out, this is how densely this scent was composed. There is no trace of synthetics at all, it smells almost natural.
Fragrance course:

When spraying it on, the first thing you notice is a surge of lemon and you almost think you're dealing with a summer citrus scent with a slight chocolate note. However, HM becomes increasingly creamy and milky, like a soothing beauty veil with finely composed silage. I would describe it - after the top note - as creamy-sweet-fresh. Whereby the freshness is not freshness in the intended sense, but through the combination of the fragrances the impression it has fresh elements. Sounds complicated, maybe you understand what I mean. It's similar with Kilians Intoxicated, which isn't really fresh either, but it seems fresh. Maybe somebody knows the shower gels that are very creamy at the same time or combine more cream than shower gel. That's the way HM smells. It's complicated to describe it, you'll notice :D However, it remains quite linear and ends up in a nice amber veil.

Shelf life/silage:
High-Level: It lasts 8-9 hours and is clearly perceptible at least half of the time, which has been confirmed again and again by friends and relatives. Even if you think it's gone, it suddenly reappears, simply wonderful
