Honō 炎 — Flame

Hono opens with the resinous warmth of cistus labdanum — earthy, intensely warm — lifted by a note of orange that keeps the composition from becoming heavy. This is the opening of a fragrance that knows exactly what it wants to do.

The heart introduces Siam benzoin and lavandin, adding a chewy, balsamic sweetness combined with cinnamon leaf into something of extraordinary sensuality. The amber accord deepens through the dry-down, arriving at a base of vanilla, tonka bean and cedar that is impossible to fault.

Hono — Flame — is an amber fragrance of extraordinary depth, delivered at 30% EDP concentration. Warm without being heavy, opulent without being loud. Wear it when silence speaks louder than volume. Wear it at twilight.
