‘Hao is a poetic tribute to eternal love, a delicate and poignant commemoration of the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo’s death. This fragrance tells the mysterious legend of a love born within the ancient walls of Imperial China, where destiny intertwined the lives of Marco Polo and the sweet Hao Dong, daughter of Emperor Kublai Khan and granddaughter of the feared Genghis Khan. The story chronicles a magical encounter, a case of love at first sight that occurred when, on hearing Hao’s melodious voice as she sang from the balcony, Marco was enraptured by a passion that left a lasting mark on his heart. With her ethereal beauty and enigmatic charm, Hao Dong became the love of Marco Polo’s life. Their strong, deep bond led them to live together in the court of Kublai Khan, joining together two distant worlds. Hao followed Marco when he returned to Venice, leaving behind her homeland forever. But their love story came up against misunderstanding and prejudice in the Italian city. Hao could only find solace in her voice, singing softly to evoke memories of her beloved land. To this day, their love remains shrouded in mystery, a bridge between two cultures and a testament to a bond that stood the test of time. Hao opens with bright, delicate notes, Sicilian Orange Blossom lends a citrusy freshness, Chinese Lotus Flower evokes the serenity of oriental lakes, while Florentine Iris adds a touch of elegance and mystery. In the heart of the fragrance, Australian Sandalwood and Madagascar Vanilla blend in a warm and enveloping embrace. Bourbon Ambergris and Turkish Caramel add a golden richness, evoking the hidden treasures of the imperial court. The base notes reveal a deep,mystical foundation: Musk and Lebanese Cedarwood provide a reassuring solidity, while Cambodian Oudh and Lao White Oudh add an exotic depth. Jordanian Incense and Myrrh close the blend with a spiritual aura, evoking the mystery and sacred nature of a timeless love. Hao is an olfactory journey that celebrates the beauty of legendary love, a bridge between cultures and souls. A fragrance that is an ode to the magic of predestined encounters and the wonder of infinity.’ – Terenzi
