Water ylang, & soapy lotus.
It’s pink, it’s like a soapy lotus with water ylang on top of white musk, and soap base. I keep on sniffing heliotrope & slight sandalwood. I kind of smell some soapy roses as well which is quite amusing rather than sharp.
I liked this one when i first sniffed it as it has that doses of ylang, lotus, heliotrope, and water. Amusing.

“Like human beings, the beauty of flowers is short-lived…
Its very transience is the reason why beauty exists.
(After a poem by Onono Komachi, Hyakunin Isshu anthology)” via
Hana is the Perfumer’s impression of the poem above – “Symbol of fragility and beauty. An elegant bouquet of jasmine and rose.” To me Hana is the most “French” perfume out of her collection because from the first sniff it reminded me of Chanel No5. Discovering it, was another reason to be impressed with Miya Shinma Parfums’ diverse offerings. Hana does share some of the promiment notes with Chanel No 5 such as rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, patchouli, iris but the interesting thing is that, it doesnt have any aldehydes at all. I could swear it had aldehyde in it. The soapy, sparkling, clean feeling that aldehydes evoke is still very present in Hana. Incredibly airy, transparent, clean fragrance that settles into feminine, powdery, floral scent. Elegant and classic, Hana could very well represent Ms. Miya Shinma herself, very ladylike and polite French tought Japanese perfumer. If you find Chanel No 5 to be a little too heavy for you, I’d recommend trying Hana- the Symbol of Fragility and Beauty!

I absolutely agree with Jeca. I guess that this strange crystal Flower comes from the accord of the orange blossom with rose and iris. I smell the rose, but it is fragile and very “clean”. I would better describe this through a soapy note that appears at the very beginning, but then it changes in few minutes in a rose-iris accord, after 10 minutes ylang-jasmin notes come out. After one hour it is just the most delicate, soft and intimate flowers powder laying on the skin.
I guess that elegance could be described by smelling so good and clean, so nice and feminine without revealing that you are wearing a perfume.

It’s a light scent like the rest of this collection. Powdery, even dusty, clean like a white sheet, with a red flower in its center, and it’s not rose (I smell the rose very clearly, oily almost sultry, but here it plays another role for me), it is a red poppy, with subtle thin blossoms and dusty fragrance.
I smell several layers in this composition at the same time, a flower you are watching with admiration, everything around is unimportant and doen’t exist. Such a visual association I have, and also I feel total silence in it.
