Hao
Hao is an Extrait de Parfum from Tiziana Terenzi's Anniversary collection, created as an homage to the legendary intercultural romance between Marco Polo and Hao Dong.
About This Fragrance
Crafted to commemorate the seven-hundredth anniversary of explorer Marco Polo's death, the perfume takes inspiration from the legend of his bond with Hao Dong, the daughter of Kublai Khan. The narrative captures an encounter between imperial China and maritime Venice, translating this legend into a fragrant dialogue between Mediterranean botanicals and Asian resins.
Scent Profile
The opening introduces delicate Sicilian orange blossom alongside tranquil Chinese lotus flower and powdery Florentine iris, establishing an airy, citrus-tinged floral prelude. In the heart, smooth Australian sandalwood and creamy Madagascar vanilla bourbon merge with ambergris and golden Turkish caramel, generating a rich, balsamic core. A base then unfolds through grounding Lebanese cedarwood and soft musk, enriched by Cambodian oud, Laotian white oud, and the contemplative warmth of Jordanian frankincense and myrrh.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
Conceived for connoisseurs of complex amber and woody perfumes that blend gourmand sweetness with frankincense and myrrh, *Hao* provides a resonant, contemplative character well suited for intimate gatherings. Its opulent warmth suits cool evenings as well as autumn and winter occasions.
