Tiziana Terenzi Hao is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Paolo Terenzi. Hao opens with Orange, Iris, 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 a Statement verdict, a musk-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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its strong amber, caramel, and oud notes, Hao leans more towards evening and cooler weather occasions. While some find it appropriate for all year, its richness makes it less suitable for office or sports, shining best on a date or formal event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
