Hanae Mori N01 Hanae Mori for women

I just met the co-founder and president of the company that makes the Hanae Mori fragrances and he signed my No. 1 bottle! He's incredibly handsome so I think it's pretty cool. I LOVE No. 1 and I LOVE my No. 1 bottle even more now! Ha! LOOK HIM UP! Thomas Saujet! : )

HANAE MORI N01 is a *very* fruity, fruity-fruity (not floral) perfume! Blackberry, blackcurrant, and raspberry completely dominate the composition from start to finish, which is good news if you're looking for a fresh fruit facsimile, but bad news if you're looking for flowers!

Since this creation is said to contain jasmine, I'm going to try to mixing it with a jasmine soliflore in order to up the overall perfumic integrity. As it stands, N01 seems to me like only half a perfume and quite a bit less complex than some of the other blackberry-centric fragrances I've tried, including the Trish McEvoy variations and even VS VELVET AMBER BLACKBERRY. The fruits here do smell inviting and authentic, but they leave me wanting something more.

This has all of the berry and none of the smoldering warmth of Givenchy Hot Couture. For me this is a tidy version of HC (subtract the pepper and magnolia) There is something about the raspberry in the two scents that is less fresh juicy berry and more sweet hard raspberry candies. I do sense a hint of musk and sandalwood smoothing out the fruity edges. I enjoy this scent very much because of its similarity to HC. A good daytime version. The sillage is quite powerful at first but becomes quiet after a couple of hours. Lasting power is satisfactory. If you love the way the berry is done in Hot Couture, you might like to try this.

Fresh, tart and creamy, with a subtle dark bitter-mint undertone from the dark berries. This wears like a deliciously clean veil on your skin that warms your senses without weighing you down.

A well balanced floral fruity with a naturally elegant feel that will easily capture your heart. This is one of my daughter's perfumes that I steal a squirt of now and then.

quiet, gentle creamy berry scent which wears close to the skin. so close it whispers. but it is beautiful.

wispy smooth with the faintest hint of oil as it hits the skin in much the same way as Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy.

the mix of berries with their fresh green leaves & the tartness of grapefruit create a sheer & spectacular opening.

this is a citrus-berry which you hope never leaves you; the intriguing top notes are gently scintillating albeit fleeting, so hurry up and take it in, or blink and it's gone. some of the most beautiful things in life are always ephemeral. *sigh*

the first spray is knock you down bitter and then its gone to a very faint gourmand pie smell but i mean ever so faint its gone as soon as you spray it,last maybe 5 minutes at most...I honestly cant believe Hanae Mori would even bottle this for sale there is nothing to it you are buying a bottle of alcohol with a very very small amount of scented water...this is so ridiculous because the very faint smell is so pretty but so gone..body sprays last alot longer than this EDT

I smell blackberries, and lemon custard (presumably the sum of citrus and vanilla), but what really makes this one stand out is a mouth puckering tart and slightly acerbic note. It reminds me of black tea and verbena, and has something in common with L'Occitan's Verbena edt. Perhaps this is what they are calling bergamot and grapefruit. Whatever it is, it's lovely.

The dry down is a slightly powdery version of the lemon custard note, a faintly sweet skin scent. I don't normally care for vanilla gourmandes, but the bright tart top notes set this apart from the rest. I can't stop sniffing my wrist.

Like a photorealistic warm blackberry pie. Unfortunately,the EDT has NO lasting power whatsoever; about an hour. It is not available in an EDP. If the fragrance had better lasting power, I'd buy it in a hot second at any price.

Reminds me of Victoria's Secret Moods "Succulent," which has been discontinued

This is a pretty scent but it doesn't last at all - it's about like a body splash. I sprayed it on and one hour later it was barely detectable. by one and a half hours it was completely gone.
When I first spray this, it smells like some kind of berry-citrus fizzy soda :). Then it dries down to smell like sweet vanilla & berries. I'd describe this as a bright, bubbly fragrance - not particularly warm. it would be nice to wear in the summer. I think any age can wear this - while it is sweet and similar to popular "teen" scents like Britney Spears etc, this smells much more natural, more artistically executed, and just all around higher quality - it does not smell synthetic or generic. a lovely scent, lovely bottle, but not worth it to me because I do not want to reapply every hour.

I have a sample of this and I agree it smells like a better, less sythentic Britney Spears Midnight fantasy. I smell berries and vanilla but the middle notes have a tart note from the lemon. I love that part and it is very wearable for every season. Have to get a bottle

Creamy,dreamy fume. At first there is a bowl of berries,huge,ripe juicy ,the smell alone makes ur mouth water.I catch a hint of jasmine but its not enough to b called floral,Later,the berries seem to b stewing in a pot of vanilla.so sweet,sexy and brings a smile to ur face.Not overbearing not sharp.smells like comfort food.This must b a comfort scent.Lasts a long time.

delicious scent. Almost so good you want to eat it :)

HELLO....Midnight Fantasy is that you??!! 0.o This smells just like Midnight Fantasy except it is fresher, lighter, and not as artificial. The lasting power is great as well. ;') But if you can't afford this scent I would simply suggest buying Midnight Fantasy and layering/cutting it with a citrus oil/lotion. And then....BAM...there you have it...Hanae Mori #1.

Update: It is know available from online retailers for as low as $30 for the tester bottle. I am ordering mine as we speak!!! WOO HOO! Patience is really a virtue! ;'D

I was able to test this last week..and I would love to own a bottle. I have always been a blackberry lover and a musk lover..this is a great combo of both that gets slightly. Muskier as it dries down. To my nose, this is more of a berry gourmaund. Along with kastilemi (sp? Sorry) ...I don't like the other hanae mori creations...but I wish this one was a keeper!

A truly fruity blackberry fragrance-light and warm-has some tartness to temper the sweetness.The jasmine note is very soft and light-Surprisingly elegant and balanced floral fruity, not synthetic at all. Becomes a skin scent that never loses the blackberry idea. If you are a blackberry lover, you will probably like Hanae Mori N01-if not, don't bother. My other blackberry experience is with Amethyst by Lalique, which is pleasant and perhaps more tart, but more soapy and floral than fruity-this one surely wins, and would deserve the name Amethyst more. Why should the more enjoyable fragrances always be limited editions-I don't personally like Hanae Mori original or Magical Moon but they will continue to be easy to find. Very irritating!

Forgot to mention..I LOVE the bottle too. It's completely adorable!!!

Yippee!!! Finally got my bottle today. I love it! I smell alot of sweetly luscious dark berries, with a hint of citrus, and vanilla. the jasmine is folded in nicely and discreetly. It actually smells VERY similar to Mistral Blackberry which I also have. LOVE them both!!!! Perfect for the warm weather!!

this one is REALLLY good!
i smell LOTS of berries and vanilla and grapfruit. it reminds me of midnight fantasy

Found it at Nordstrom's website. Can't wait til it arrives!!

Thank you so much for adding this to the database!!!

This is one of the few blackberry fragrances I can wear. It smells like warm raspberries and blackberries, jasmine, and musk. I am surprised to see black currant, grapefruit, and bergamot in the notes, because usually those notes create a tart, crisp, or refreshing effect on me. This fragrance is soft, fruity, and warm...not loud, nor sharp. It's also not your typical floral-fruity fragrance.

I love it!
