CLEOPATRA'S BOUDOIR

Ho Hang was launhed in 1971 by Balenciaga, it was a men's fragrance  created by nose Jacques Jantzen.

I have read that there have been 3  formulations of Balenciaga's Ho Hang. A Basenotes reader mentioned this about Ho Hang: " There are huge differences between the original vintage formulation and the two subsequent formulations. The two subsequent formulations differ among themselves only in terms of quality, the most recent and third formulation being a more attenuated, cheaper version of the second formulation. The second formulation is more of a woody oriental, with a subtle but rich and complex balsamic component, whereas the original strikes me as more of an aromatic fougère."

It is classified as an aromatic fougère. The fragrance only comes in an eau de toilette and  features top notes of bergamot, lemon, orange, basil, mint. Heart notes are rosewood, geranium, carnation, lavender, nutmeg, and pimento. Base notes are patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, Tonka, labdanum, and musk.

The name means "very fragrant" in the Cantonese dialect of China.

"Ho"=好 in Cantonese roughly translates as good, but in this context is an adverb that modifies "Hang", and would translate as very.

"Hang"=香 in Cantonese translates to fragrant (as you said). But if you asked me, I'd spell it as "Heung", pronounced "Herng"
