Hanae by Keiko Mecheri is a delicate and enchanting fragrance inspired by the perfumer’s Japanese homeland. This scent captures the essence of a misty teahouse garden in Kyoto on a pale spring morning, where the air is filled with the fresh and floral aromas of the season. Hanae is a tribute to the beauty and tranquility of spring, expressed through a harmonious blend of citrus, floral, and powdery notes.
The fragrance opens with a bright and invigorating burst of yuzu and other citric notes. The yuzu, a distinctive Japanese citrus fruit, introduces a crisp, zesty freshness that immediately awakens the senses. This vibrant opening sets a light and airy tone, reminiscent of a refreshing morning breeze in a serene garden.
As the scent evolves, the heart reveals a bouquet of white flowers, exuding a gentle and pure floral fragrance. These white flowers are complemented by fruity berry notes, which add a touch of sweetness and a hint of tartness to the composition. The interplay of floral and fruity elements creates a delicate and nuanced middle, evoking the subtle beauty of blossoming flowers in spring.
The base of Hanae is anchored by powdery crystal musk, which provides a soft and clean finish. This musk adds a layer of elegance and sophistication, enhancing the overall shimmer and delicacy of the fragrance. The powdery quality of the musk rounds out the composition, leaving a lasting impression of softness and refinement.
