Hanae Mori HiM is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. HiM opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Fig Tree, Cinnamon, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Teak. Hanae Mori's HiM carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

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.
