Hanae Mori perfume, created by Japanese fashion designer Hanae Mori and originally launched by Shiseido in 1968, holds significance as her first fragrance. The name, pronounced as "HAN-eye MORE-y," is accurate. It's a beautiful scent that has remained popular over the years.
In Japanese, "Hanae Mori" (花衣 森) roughly translates to "flower garment forest" or "forest of flowered clothes." "Hanae" (花衣) combines the characters for "flower" (花) and "clothing" or "garment" (衣), while "Mori" (森) means "forest." So, the name evokes imagery of a natural, floral landscape intertwined with the world of fashion.
