Hanae MoriBy Hanae Mori For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray, 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

VENDOR WAS VERY CAREFUL IN SENDING MY FAVORITE SCENT!

Kind of expensive

I love this cologne, have been using it for years, but all of a sudden it is out of stock. Don’t know if they have stopped making it (as designer Hanae Mori passed years ago), but I purchased this bottle at double what I would have normally paid. Won’t do that again, but glad I have this last bottle.

I have trouble with the right words to describe things that are masculine or feminine as in today's world these words seem archaic and even offensive. I'm a male who has recently grown to enjoy things that are not traditionally considered masculine or marketed as being for men. That includes fragrances.My dad was an Old Spice guy all his life and I tended toward spicy/musky scents in deodorant (Old Spice original scent), cologne (Dior Homme), and even candles and incense. In the last few years I have broadened my perspectives on gender and what constitutes male/female or masculine/feminine. Where I am at now is if I like the way something looks, smells, or feels, I no longer care whether it is marketed for a specific group.Sorry to drone on, but as it relates to Hanae Mori By Hanae Mori For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 Ounces, I just like the scent very much and don't care that it is marketed as a woman's fragrance. I still wear Dior Homme as my go to fragrance but do occasionally spray a bit of this on as well for variety.

I am disappointed that the product I received was not the eau de toilette (as listed) which I prefer, it was the eau de parfum. I've been wearing this fragrance for years and tried both versions; the way it works with my skin is the eau de toilette has more of the sweet strawberry top note and the scent carries around me and lasts longer. Eau de parfum has less alcohol so it does not evaporate into the air as much, the scent stays closer to the skin so I have to put my nose to my wrist to really smell it. It also smells a bit different, with the deeper notes more prominent. Still, one of my favorite scents either way and an excellent price.

A friend of mine gave me a bunch of samples of Hanae Mori Butterfly EDT about 8 years ago. I fell in love immediately with the soft sweet warm notes, but as a poor college student once my samples ran out I was SOL. Eventually with time I forgot about this fragrance until last Christmas when I happened across the rollerball at Macy's. I promptly purchased but couldn't find the full size in store once the purse size ran out. Enter Amazon. I took the chance and while I was nervous and had my doubts, after reassurance from other buyers I clicked purchase. I have no idea how the 3.4 oz can be $30 here and $116 in all the big stores but this is the real deal. I have a very sensitive nose that can tell minute difference in scent and this smells precisely like my rollerball. I purchased through Amazon and received it in perfect condition 2 days later. The scent is soft warm and sweet. Not overly complex with a blend of berry and praline that give the impression of a vanilla scent, as it's supposed to. But it's not as deep as vanilla. Even the EDT lasts ridiculously long on the skin. I can apply it on my pulse points at 9am and still smell it lightly at 6 pm. But the scent while lingering and projecting, isn't overwhelming and strong. It's perfectly acceptable for the young woman in the workplace or college.

Heavenly femininity in a bottle. Not too flowery, not too powdery. Just right. How to describe? Well....if you close your eyes and take a whiff, you're amazing, confident, sexy and strong. It's like you're walking amongst a freshly bloomed cherry blossom, sweet pea, tulip spring garden on the dewy morning of a beautiful warm spring day. No one scent stands out amongst the rest. Other reviews mention vanilla - maybe a hint, not overpowering at all. At first application, naturally, the scent is strongest but does change after a few hours, and gets even more beautiful as time passes. Love the sturdy bottle and cap. This is my 2nd bottle. First one kept for several years without going rancid. This isn't one of those everybody wears it scents; you WILL stand out because it's not strong and offensive like the big name brands, but carries a light sexy smell that turns heads. It's a neat thing to be speaking with someone and watch as they inhale, smile and say, "Ohhh, you smell amazing!" Sadly Sephora stopped carrying this, so I'm thankful for Amazon.

This purchase was to get the perfume my deceased best friend used to wear. Because the date she died was approaching, I decided to purchase the perfume that she so loved. I was careful not to purchase the Butterfly scents that are shown, but the one resembling the one she wore. Two things I would tell people thinking of ordering cologne or perfume from this company are as follows: 1] the purchase is not returnable and 2] look at all the little pictures that run down the side or bottom of the bottle pictured. I did not see any butterfly anywhere on the picture that day, but today , having gotten a bottle of cologne having no distinctive fragrance or staying power, I see there is a tiny picture with a butterfly on the side of a box, to the left of the bottle shown. There is no mention of it being a Butterfly fragrance anywhere in the description or on the bottle shown.BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!
