A pink bottle. A fruity top note. An edge of tart acidity. Not exactly a combo we haven’t come across before. And now Miller Harris are trying their luck with it by releasing Myrica Muse. I reviewed the release, as well as their much-loved L’Air De Rien, in a recent episode of Love At First Scent. Here’s a link to the video: Miller Harris Myrica Muse and L’Air De Rien reviews.

All things considered, Myrica Muse is by no means the most stultifying example of a sharp, fruity floral. In fact, the patchouli in its drydown is surprisingly full-bodied, lending the whole a hint of chypre-like sophistication that isn’t signposted at the start. But ultimately, it’s unremarkable fare, with little new to add to the genre.

Thank goodness we still have L’Air De Rien. Its core accord of orange blossom and labdanum may not be especially novel, but it’s the details at the outer edges that make this a must-try piece of work. Whiffs of scented pencil eraser. A barn on a summer’s day. The pliable texture of a well-worn, leather handbag. They all come together to create a mood that is both otherworldly and familiar: like watching a film that manages to immerse you in the atmosphere of a bygone age while simultaneously making you realise that the past will forever remain an unreachable planet. A quirky, undefinable original.

  1. Hello, i am new to your site and really enjoy reading your reviews of my favourite fragrances. I’m a skin scent person mostly now but funny enough as a teen I loved and wore Rive Gauche( to my prom! A boy pronounced that I smelled good-he had good taste!)
    I’m very intrigued by the new Dyptique L’Eau de Papier. Will you review soon? Most other Dyptique I find overpowering.
    Excited they may have a skin scent now..
    Thanks for your great content!

I love hearing from my readers, so please feel free to write a comment or ask a question.
