Hattai was designed to embody the spirit of rare or endangered fauna It represents a wolf tracking silently through the woods - a chiaroscuro of light and shadow in equal measure. For darkness, there are red berries stewed in mulled wine, thickly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom and dusted with the darkest of organic cocoa powder. Fruity and spicy, like those dense fruited breads and buns eaten all across Northern Europe at Christmas. For the light part, there is a sparkling, almost fizzy amber-Ambroxan accord that is honeyed and resinous but not heavy. The musky, radiant sweetness of the drydown lifts and diffuses the darker, fruited elements of the scent, making them as bubbly as a glass of champagne. The fruit and spice dry up over time, leaving a trail of smoky woods in their place. What a surprise this one is, turning from a festive, cozy quasi-gourmand to the scent of a log fire on the cold night air. Hattai features notes of red berries, cacao, cinnamon and cade wood. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
LE COUVENT DE MINIMES HATTAI REVIEWS
Fragrantica: It's very gourmand to my nose. For me Hattai is a mix of pulla (cardamom buns) and kanelbulle (cinnamon buns), quite sweet and spicy. And it has a very interesting woodiness in the background, that's even a bit animalic, but this might just be the story behind the fragrance influencing me too much. It's minimalistic, like the rest of the collection. I think it would suit someone who likes simple, but good quality products. I love it.
Fragrantica: Wood, cinnamon combined with bitter cacao, with a hint of sour berries. Well. I’ll come back here! Very beautiful with moderate projection but longevity is huge. Definitely a big character.
