I keep coming back to it to sniff for some reason. I sniffed this scent about two years ago and thought it was very nice. I do not own a bottle of this just yet, but I will soon. I feel I won't be throwing away as many "expensive mistakes" as I have in the past thanks to this great site! How boring it would be if we all liked the same thing. I'm not going to say I like every fragrance you do but that's what makes us all unique. There are some "expert noses" that post very valuable info. Even though I'm an amateur I find I'm starting to know more than the ladies at the counter. so now when I shop I know what I'm looking for. And, I love this site!!! You all have helped educate me on notes, etc. Hanae is one of those that the longer I wear it the better I like it. I agree, Burberry Touch and Hanae Mori are close but to me they are far enough apart that I know I'm wearing something different. I think next time I will go with the pink because it seems softer.on me. The berries and vanilla are nice but my favorite is still a soft floral and vanilla. Later in 2009, an exhibition called ‘Made by Hand: Hanae Mori and Young Artists’ was launched in the cities of Mito and Tokyo by the Hanae Mori Foundation.I purchased a bottle of Hanae Mori Blue but I had tested the pink (eau de toilette).
Her retirement was a great loss to the fashion industry. In 2004, Mori presented her last couture collection on the runway before retiring and in the start of 2005 Hanae Mori Foundation was founded to help creative youth. Mattel Inc.’s collaborated in 2000 with Hanae Mori to create a Hanae Mori Barbie Doll. In the same year, she designed costumes for Salzburg Festival’s opera called ‘Elektra’. Mori also received the Order of Culture Award from the Japanese empire in 1996. In 1993, she designed kimonos and wedding dress for Japan’s Princess Masako. In 1992, Mori was the official designer of costumes for Japanese contestants at the Barcelona Summer Olympics. Back in her former homeland Japan, she celebrated thirty five years of being a designer by holding an exhibition in Tokyo. In October 1989, Mori received the highest honor, Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur by Francois Mitterrand, the President of France. With her intricate designs and attention to detail, Mori designed over 150 costumes for Cinderella, a ballet of Paris Opera. In 1985, Mori tried her hand at costume designing for Madama Butterfly for Milan’s La Scala theatre. She teamed up with Japan’s famous architect, Kenzo Tange to open the Hanae Mori shopping complex in Tokoyo. She opened her shop at Paris’s Montaigne Avenue in 1977 and became a part of Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne later that year. By 1975, Hanae Mori’s contemporary mix of western-Japanese designs had gained so much popularity that she was invited by Grace of Monaco to present her collection. With groundbreaking success of her first perfume, Mori went international with her first boutique in New York located at Waldorf Aristoria. The Hanae Mori Fragrance was launched in the US in partnership with Shiseido which was called gently devastating by Vogue. In 1967, she was delegated the task to design uniforms for Japan Airlines’s air hostesses. It was her signature butterflies that caught Vogue’s eye and soon Mori’s designs appeared on the cover of Vogue Magazine. Mori soon started designing her first ready-to-wear clothing line which she presented in New York at Hotel Delmonico. It was 1961 when Mori went to Paris and visited Coco Chanel that completely changed her take on fashion. Mori was the designer of costumes for over three hundred Japanese movies. After gaining three years of hands on experience in designing clothes, Hanae Mori opened her own boutique in Ginza at Tokyo where she started off her career by designing clothes for Japan’s growing film industry.
