Review of Hasu-no-Hana Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

this Legendary Triad of Perfumes, Hasu-No-Hana (1888), Shem-El-Nessim (1906) and Phul-Nana (1891) I bought as Three in a Niche Perfumery in Rotterdam. it was either in the late 1990s or the 2000s. I was numb as well as mesmerized, left in disbelief as also lucky to have acquired these outerworldly perfumes. the perfumes seem as well Alien as Teletransported from an Historic Age. they precede the Roaring Twenties yet possess a Majesty English Perfumes can Beheld or in their Demureness and Retraction, be Suggested only these Florises and Penhaligons and Atkinsons, are not my cup of tea. whereas these three Empresses, fully are. Hasu-No-Hana (I have just spritzed it on) embodies a Powdery Trajectory with love of all the Flowers, used. Oakmoss, Patchouli and Vetiver can offer some 'concrete' woody flustering but the Iris and Lotus (so aptly described by alphairone beneath), this flower probably more reconstructed than mirrored in a Bio Physical Scent Profile with the Glass Clôches on your head, all these opulent Flowers speak their path, Sing their Heraldings of the Voluptuousness of the Vegetal and Floral Gifts in Pollens, Powder, Perfumes, interspacial and surfacial interdependent network in the perfume and then, OUT in the air. what strikes the most is the Power of Powderiness, the Pled of Pollens, the astringency of Oakmoss, I am just writing as this heady perfume whirls around me. Iris, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Lotus and Jasmine all come to the fore. as usual the fruits go beyond me wheter they wither and welt the opening together with a (theoretical) midsection. it isn't a study nor a calculatorix but an Emotion and Sensation. the Base Notes are also immediately present and return in the base but also the flowers keep coming. it is a Fluff of Powder and Sunshine, yet also the darker resides of Victorianae loose themselves in flight, in rivulet as also Arpeggio, yet more an Adagium to celebrate and herald Life and Death. Next to the venerable History of these perfumes they gained another Micro History in my House of 25 years. especially Hasu-No-Hana developed an Amber coloured Whine-like teint, macerating and retroactive flowering in vitro, the darkest of the Three. That Grossmith took the time and laboriousness to recreate these Pearls of the Past, is an enigma as well as it shows such Loyalty to History of Perfumery. I can compare these perfumes with those of Oriza L.Legrand, Guerlain and Chanel, and well yes, Creed as they were really Drapers of Cloth to the Real Figure already in 1730 (I made a research). however the perfumes date from at early as the 1950s but show a same eruditeness and exemplary refined but not as Floris, Penhaligon nor Atkinsons, so Deftly Demure that with Blenheim Bouquet I smelled ... nothing, nor with Night Blooming Jasmine. neither with Penhaligons Elizabethan Rose or Marylebone Wood. this are perfumes that stand the test of time. Perfumery is a rich Art.
