Hasu-no-Hana is a release from Niche luxury perfume house Grossmith and perfumer Richard Melchio. London perfume house Grossmith is a house originally founded in the 19th century by John Grossmith before being resurrected. Years of research led to finding the original formula books, from which Grossmith's original 19th century fragrances were brought back. Today, Grossmith is run by Simon, Amanda, Eleanor, and Kate Brooke - 5th and 6th generation descendants of John Grossmith - that have "restored Grossmith to its rightful place as a prominent classic English perfume house that once again is producing the finest perfume in the world." The Classic Collection fragrances ressurrect the perfumes of the 19th century Grossmith: "Using the original formulae and keeping natural materials wherever possible, irrespective of cost, Grossmith have ‘remastered’ three classic fragrances, Hasu-no-Hana (1888), Phul-Nana (1891) and Shem-el-Nessim (1906)". Hasu-no-Hana, a Chypre Floral, has a scent profile of woody, earthy, citrus, aromatic, powdery, mossy, iris, floral, warm spicy, and yellow floral accords. Top Notes Bergamot, Bitter Orange Heart Notes Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Iris Base Notes Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean From Grossmith: "The scent of the Japanese lotus lily. A bright, radiant composition with pronounced Chypre and Amber facets on a woody dry, very sensual base. Hasu-no-Hana hailed the dawn of modern creative perfumery. Originally created in 1888, this scent has a timeless quality which comes from its pioneering spirit." Note: Samples are sold by the 0.5ml. You may purchase only up to 1ml.
