For Him Eau de Toilette, very contemporary and so sensual ...
After studying design and sewing, Hanae Mori opened her first boutique in downtown Tokyo. In 1954, she was considered one of the best stylists in Japanese cinema, with over 700 designs to her credit. Hanae Mori embarked on perfumery in 1995 with “Butterfly”, an ultra poetic and bucolic fragrance. In 2012, she presented “Him”, a spicy woody essence for confident men.
Male power according to Hanae Mori
“Him” is the brand's second men's fragrance, after “HM”. With "Him", Hanae Mori wanted a perfect harmony between elegance and intensity. This resulted in a juice that was both sweet and woody. The brand also wanted us to “immerse ourselves” in this sensual and intoxicating olfactory universe. "Him" represents nobility, elegance and power. It is therefore a fragrance of high masculine intensity, mysterious, of which he (him) alone holds the secret. The "Him" man likes to seduce, but naturally, in his image. He stands out for his natural elegance and chic, which gives him an undisguised charisma. Hanae Mori wanted to portray the strength of a man, the one he can with nature, in the middle of the forest.
The contrasting notes of Him by Hanae Mori
"Him" is defined as a woody and spicy fragrance, which changes the register for Hanae Mori who was more used to a more "fragile" fragrance. The freshness of flowers and citrus in the top notes mingles with a warm and sensual heart. "Him" opens with the fresh notes of mandarin. These are overtaken by the violet flower and the gray pepper which contrast with the sweetness of the tangerine. The heart is more intense and combines fig wood with a duo of cinnamon and tonka bean. The power of man is here revealed by his gentleness. The base is woody and amber. The bottle kept the shape of "HM". We find the original bottle tinged with brown echoing the woody side of the fragrance. The brown case recalls the texture of wood.
The brand's second male fragrance, “Him” is a fragrance made up of contrasts between freshness, intensity and softness. The notes are both warm and fresh and offer a particularly rare composition. Hanae Mori trains us and advises us to “HIMmerge” in her olfactory universe. Bold, masculine and refined, “Him” reveals unknown lands.
