The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Phlur and crafted by Nathalie Benareau, Hanami is a fragrance that captures the essence of an intimate gathering under cherry blossoms. The composition opens with aromatic notes that give way to warm spices and powdery woods, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. It balances balsamic warmth with subtle floral undertones, making it feel like a soft blanket on a cool evening.
One or two sprays are sufficient — the aromatic top notes quickly give way to a warm, enveloping base. It's best worn close to skin for its full effect, as it tends to stay intimate rather than filling a room.
