HiM

Hanae Mori HiM is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. The fragrance opens with Violet Leaf, Pepper, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Tonka Bean, and Fig Tree, and dries down to a base of Fir Resin, Teak, Musk, and Cedar.

Our verdict on HiM: Statement

A divisive beast, HiM is either a hidden gem of spicy-woody warmth, or a synthetic mess. Most will find it a cosy, understated autumn/winter option, but some will struggle with its cloying sweetness and lack of dynamism.

Its warm-spicy and woody accords, combined with moderate to strong performance, make it unsuitable for high-heat sports or overly formal settings. The comforting, inviting nature is perfect for dates and casual outings, while its subtle sophistication allows for office wear, provided it's not oversprayed.

About

HiM opens with a vibrant, fresh-spicy kick of violet leaf and bergamot, quickly joined by the dry warmth of cardamom and pepper. The heart reveals a rich, figgy sweetness, enveloped by cinnamon and tonka bean, before settling into a deep, resinous amber and cedarwood base. It's a journey from zesty freshness to a comforting, spiced wood embrace.
