What does Hanae smell like?

Citrus and green lead the scent: yuzu and juniper bring freshness, while green tea keeps it calm. Chamomile, geranium and May rose soften the floral side, and apricot adds a light fruity touch. Frankincense gives it a resinous, faintly smoky and powdery depth, with the spicy side staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer has its share too. It is worn for leisure, nights out and the office. Feminine and masculine votes are almost equal, so it truly reads as unisex. Lush Black Pearl and Maison Margiela (untitled) have a close profile.
