Hanae Mori N06 Hanae Mori for women

The full notes are:
Toop notes: Moroccan jasmine, neroli, and bergamot
Middle notes: Egyptian jasmine, Tunisia orange blossom, green roses, American peony, and heliotrope
Base notes: Tahitian vanilla, toffee, a touch of sandalwood, and benzoin

This is definitely a throwback to the original Hanae Mori Butterfly with the toffee and vanilla sweetness happening in No.6. At first spray I get a blast of jasmine, neroli, orange blossom mixed in with that bubblegum sweetness that I think this house is really known for.

As it sits there on my skin the flowers peak through beautifully, bringing more jasmine, orange blossom, peony, and just a touch of heliorope and benzoin. The bergamont peaks through the flower petals in a very subtle way, just enough to give it a slightly green, citrus edge but never dominating or asserting it's presence. The toffee and vanilla really make this a very sweet fragrance, but the addition of the florals (the strongest of which are the jasmine, orange blossom, and peony) make it beautifully sweet. And that benzoin and bergamont are just enough to add a touch of greeness to the florals.

It has a big LIKE from me, but just like the original Hanae Mori Butterfly I can see the sweetness being too much for some.

I hate to be so cruel, but this fragrance most reminded me of those little blue cartridges designed to freshen up toilet bowls. Needless to say, I was not impressed. I'm so disappointed, because jasmine, sandalwood, and blackberry are some of my favourite notes, and I couldn't smell them anywhere!

I was not impressed with this perfume at all. It's rare that I blame things on chemistry, but this perfume smelled so surprisingly awful that I figure it must be me. I don't smell fruit or berries at all. On me it's vanilla, a hint of flowers, and a terrible synthetic note that I can't quite describe, but it ruins the whole thing.

No. 6 really impressed me! The top notes are really juicy, with the mandarin being most prominent on my skin. The blackberry didn't seem to be too "intensive", but provided a sweet, supportive note. The bergamot wasn't clearly detectable to my nose, but I felt the "zest" of it. There is also something slightly herbal about the top notes. I can't put my finger on it!

The heart phase is definitely more floral, and the musk creeps in early. I love orange flower in general, but it seems to take a back seat here. I smelled mostly jasmine and peony, with a clean musk note.

The dry down of this fragrance is amazing!! The sandalwood is sweet, woody, and warm, and the musk and sandalwood blend so harmoniously...it's a very intimate fragrance in the end! This one is definitely on my wish list!!!

This had too much jasmine flowing out and it's not my cup of tea , didn't like this one , love the original one !

No. 6 might be my least favorite from the collection so far. I don't remember it at all. I took one whiff of it and said no thank you and moved on. I'll try it again but No. 1 is still my absolute favorite. : )

Oh they totally skipped No. 5 bcuz there's already a No. 5! Duh! Haha! : )

Oh wow this sounds GREAT! Wait, where's No. 5?! Ha! It looks great too! Green is my absolute favorite color! I can't wait! : )

oh beautiful color! i love hanae mori scents and the bottles, but they are rather soft with decent sillage, what is a bit annoying sometimes - they have so nice and tempting compositions if they just would be a bit stronger. can t wait to test this anyway to see how it develops on me!
