Tiziana Terenzi Hao is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Paolo Terenzi. Hao opens with Orange, Orris, and Lotus, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vanilla, Ambergris, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Oud, and Myrrh. Tiziana Terenzi's Hao carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Hao is a divisive scent that's either 'creme de la creme' or a 'fail'. Expect a sweet, powdery amber-caramel, with some finding it delicate and femme fatale, while others detect a thin, 'cheap booze' woodiness. It's not for everyone, but its fans are fervent.

About

Hao opens with a sweet, powdery woodsiness, hinted with a fresh burst of orange and the elegant touch of orris. This soon transforms into a warm, inviting heart of gooey caramel, rich vanilla, and smooth ambergris, balanced by creamy sandalwood. The dry down is a deeply resonant blend of myrrh, exotic oud, and frankincense, given an earthy depth by cedar and musk, creating a cocooning, luxurious trail.
