The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Hao by Tiziana Terenzi is a new Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men, launched in 2024 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi. The composition opens with the sweet warmth of caramel and Sicilian orange, creating an inviting contrast to the deep, earthy notes that follow. Orris and lotus bring a subtle floral complexity before giving way to the rich, warm spices of myrrh and frankincense. At its heart, Hao is anchored by Australian sandalwood and Cambodian oud, which blend seamlessly with vanilla and ambergris for an enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

One spray is sufficient to capture Hao's full essence. The caramel and orange top notes are fleeting but set the stage for the rich base notes that develop over time. This fragrance reads best when close to skin — ideal for evenings at home or quiet, intimate moments.
