MILLER HARRIS - CELADON - Stories Collection - Eau de Parfum -
The hidden craving for the beautiful season. It also comes from here, from scents like this. Fragrances that surprise, the very moment you didn't know you could desire them. Here is the lightning-fast beauty effect, the unveiling of fulfilled desire.
.
Così è la voglia recondita della bella stagione. Arriva anche da qui, da questi profumi. Fragranze che sorprendono, nel momento stesso in cui non sapevi di doverle desiderare. Ecco l’effetto bellezza fulminea, di svelamento del desiderio esaudito.
Come arrivare ad una scena clou di un film o nel punto di narrazione cruciale dell’ultimo romanzo che stai leggendo. Punto di svolta del racconto questa fragranza Miller Harris, che ha già nel nome - Celadon - il significato di fragilità e bellezza, qualcosa da maneggiare con grazia, sintesi di esperienza e sapere millenario.
Celadon è ispirata ad una delle opere più rilevanti del panorama letterario cinese ‘Il sogno della camera rossa’ di Cao Xueqin (1792), romanzo allegorico in cui vengono tratteggiate, con sapiente utilizzo di particolari, le strutture familiari della Cina dell’epoca ed i profili attitudinali dei numerosi personaggi che le compongono.
Romanzo storico in cui convergono, nel cuore della narrazione, molte figure femminili ritratte in un momento di appassionante condivisione per la poesia. Dai loro componimenti emerge una gentilezza che illumina, una semplicità descrittiva che appartiene alla purezza dei loro sguardi, posati sulla bellezza essenziale e insostituibile della natura.
Pari è la trasposizione olfattiva in Celadon, creazione parte della collezione Stories, ispirata ai classici della letteratura mondiale, che Karine Vinchon-Spehner ha saputo interpretare con dovizia, nel rispetto del tono verdeazzurro ceruleo tipico della ceramica omonima e di un incanto odoroso che richiama, forse, quel lontano sentimento di Cao durante la stesura del romanzo, l'aver iniziato a scrivere per gioco, per ingannare la noia delle serate piovose.
Essenza di freschezza e purezza verdeggiante floreale, di rugiada o temporale che sia, questo verde è intriso di sentori vegetali, gocce luminose sulla pietra di giada, un giardino idilliaco dove gli odori parlano, morbidi e schietti.
Puoi tradurre i balsamici aromi di cardamomo, mate, verbena, foglie di pomodoro, come infuso di benvenuto nella terra del Dragone e lasciarti lusingare dal candore dei fiori, magnolia, lavanda, tuberosa, come appena recisi e posti in bella vista nella potiche celadon.
Adorabile la delicatezza e l’equilibrio dell’evoluzione che, in presenza dell’accordo boisé affumicato con legno di cedro e muschi non cede all’inquietudine delle ombre ma risalta in splendore fino all'ultima vibrazione su pelle. Poetica.
Creata da Karine Vinchon-Spehner.

This Valentine's Day, I'm once again looking through my little selection of discovery sets, daydreaming. I'm inviting you to 1) daydream with me 2) get inspired 3) help me pick a set to try!
(I broke down the prices to a ml price since the size of the samples varies a lot. I also added shipping to Germany in these equations, so they won't be accurate to every location)
Versatile. Includes 1ml samples of all 9 perfume oils of the brand. The scents usually have a very unique composition, with many being very food-focused (cola, pesto, croissants..). Funnily enough, I've seen many perfumeheads hail these strange notes as seductive when worn, which I find intriguing. Pro: Interesting concept! We could step out of our comfort zone? Con: It might suck. The offerings might be TOO specific and/or too eccentric. 3,86€/1ml (but they're oils!)
Miller Harris. Chic british brand, modern and elegant, contemporary and classy. The selection includes some of their best sellers: a variety of delicate, transparent scents, flower-forward or oud-centric scents. Powder&sandalwood, tea, rose&liquorice. Pros: Includes Scherzo, which I've wanted to try for years (..like everybody, I suppose) and I appreciate the variety offered - I'm very curious. Cons: The selection does NOT include the fragrance Jane Birkin designed for/with the house (L'air de rien). BOO!! Some fragrances (oud, rose) are not that interesting to me from the name alone (upsetting combination, I would've preferred a "assemble your own kit"). 3,06€/1ml
Atelier des Ors. This discovery kit is free to assemble. Gold and slinky black cats, champagne, madeleines&tea, Klimt-inspired scents: The concepts of the AdO scents are right up my alley (and the bottles are beautiful, of course). I had the chance to smell a few in person last summer, but didn't get to spend time with them and really try them on skin. Pros: selecting the scents myself is a great way to ensure I will at least be interested in all of them. Con: The full bottles are expensive (we're talking 230€), so I'm a little scared to fall in love with a scent. 2,8€/1ml
Bienaimé. A house with a long history got a revamp and relaunched a few of their scents. The discovery set includes all four scents for women and the new masculine scent. They're committed to the vintage aesthetic and their heritage, both in their gorgeous packaging and in their scents: unapologetically powdery, flowery, delicate. Lipstick, powder, veils of flowers. Dolls and princesses. The male scent sounds aromatic-fresh, too. In short: Charming sophistication. Pros: I adore vintage scents. Also, the founder Bienaimié was the nose behind Quelques Fleurs, which became Dita van Teese's signature scent - apart from the fact that I just like scents like this, the backstory might explain the vibe I get from them, too. Cons: Maybe they're TOO vintage? Old-fashioned? 1,43€/1ml
Essential parfums. Each scent is made in cooperation with an expert parfumeur. The idea is to return perfumery to its roots, with excellent ingredients and at an affordable price (they have a manifesto and everything). The names suggest a focus on different notes in each scent: Rose, Vetiver, Fig, Musc... It sounds like exquisite minimalism to me. When I see them mentioned on social media, they're usually highly praised (The musc, bois impérial...). Also it's interesting that they're so respected yet fly somewhat under the radar. Pros: A wide variety at a very good price. Cons: Maybe basic? The perfumes don’t seem to tell stories to me, it’s mainly ingredient-focused. 1,6€/1ml

Perfume chat, because it's hot, summer's ending, and I'm of a mind to list out some of my favourite Hot Weather Perfumes. To be fair, once it gets above 30C/86F, I don't tend to wear scent, but all these I ones I could, and have worn in hot weather, and worth mentioning. Lot of citrus going on here, not much floral, and heavily leaning towards citrus cologne strenght (and away from big floral, gourmand, or sweet eaux de parfum). BYO gender, none of these are marketed specifically one way or another.
-Cédrat Enivrant (Atelier Cologne): the 'cedrat' here is not referring to cedar, but to the ur-citrus known in english as the Citron, aka the mighty Etrog. It's one of the original citrii from which all others spring: it's lumpy, bitter, like 60% rind, and doesn't care what you think. Cedrat Enivrant is a bitter cocktail cologne resembling a French 75 - which is gin and champagne - but dry AF. There's a mintiness, and a pine needle dryness as well. Starts off very high and tart, dries down herbal.
Paris-Deauville (Chanel): part of their Eaux de Chanel cologne-style lighter series, this is an orange/basil combo that stays fairly light and dry - the sweetness is from orange, but otherwise the addition of basil heart note keeps this summery and green. Starts off quite juicy, but 'dries' as it dries, ending in mostly sweet herbs, and the basil is unexpected. Light enough to be a splash bottle though, not a typical Chanel.
Blenheim Bouquet (Penhaligon's): despite going all-in on flashy, heavier things lately, Penhaligon's keeps the old BB on the shelf because I'm p sure it's still one of their best sellers: it's a classic for a reason. Despite listing notes of lemon, black pepper and pine, this comes off mainly with a 'clean pencil shavings' vibe on me, and it suits that freshly-sharpened pencil image. Lemony, sharp, dry, precise. if it was a person it would be Anton Lesser's character in Endeavour.
Melograno (Santa Maria Novella): I sought this out after seeing it on-screen in Casino Royale as one of Vesper Lynd's few belongings in Venice, and it did not disappoint. A warning: despite the name, if you go in expecting a syrupy bath and bodywork's style fruity pomegranate, or dislike things 'that smell like perfume' this perfume is not for you. There is very little, if any, fruit in Melograno, and I confess it's a surprise entry to a cologne-y summer list because it lists several flowers (and oakmoss! and patch!), BUT the reality of it on me is dry dry dryyyy. I have worn this in very hot weather, and the impression is a herbal soap in the cleanest italian bathroom that's ever existed, with a rigid linen handtowel, and some dried flowers in a bowl on the window.
Bergamotto di Positano (Floris): if you DID want fruit, but not syrup, Floris has you covered for orange and mandarin. It steers away from Body Shop fruit with marine notes, but don't let that dissuade you if you avoid CK One types: there's a softness to this from some ginger, green tea, and vanilla in the background. Never goes overly gourmand on me despite the fact that these are all edible things.
Ouarzazate/Series 3 (Comme des Garçons): whaaaaat, an incense in a summer list?? Adding it here as we can't have an entirely citrine list, and this makes the cut due to DRY. CdG did a little series on incense of various styles (the most infamous being Avignon, which does actually smell like a realistic in-use thurible, so hats off to them), and Ouarzazate is their desert incense vibe. It's clean in that dry sauna/spa room sort of way. It's the driest and woodiest of the 4 they did imho. Like walking into a shady, cool, dark wooden room when it's hot outside.
Le Pamplemousse (Miller Harris): MH perfumes divide into those made when Lyn Harris was the nose (interesting, lots of werird herbal combos), and those after she left (generally bigger and sweeter) - this is one of the former. Obviously grapefruit as a theme, which is always a nice bitter citrus for summer, this wears like a crisp white shirt. Despite mentioning things like rhubrarb, the notes are kept in strict order by rosemary, sage, and vetiver. The grapefuit fades as the herbs take over on drydown, manages to evoke clean laundry with no musk. (Bonus points: I have also loved Le Petit Grain from the same house for its twiggy orange tree bundle vibes, but it's discontinued)
Budget options: some countries get great sampling or decanting services (not mine, booooo), and getting 10mls of the above might be easier for you than me, but if not: here's some you can get for a lot less cash but still give you quality-
Vetiver Pamplemousse (Zara): done by theee Jo Malone, so that gives you an idea of the vibe (light, approachable). It's grapefruit, tangerine, and vetiver. Vetiver keeps it dry, quite linear development. Might be slightly 'spicier' than the MH Pampelmousse, or at least more vetiver-forward. Comes in a rollerball for those wanting a short commitment!
4711 (Mäurer & Wirtz): how could i not end on the OG, the classic, the unbeatable 4711. Four-Seven-Eleven has been freshening up people's bathroom routines since 1799, and boasts of a recipe (mostly?) unchanged since Napoleon was tramping around the area. It's citrus, it's lavender, it's romemary, it evaporates in 8 seconds, it's fresh lemony goodness. It's an aftershave, it's a cologne, it's a linen spray, it's a bath soak, is there nothing it cannot do? M&W have started to do endless 'remixes' of the base cologne, in many fruit and floral varieties, but the classic is where it's at. And it costs almost nothing.
#perfume#text post shenanigans#some of these do travel sizes and giftsets (floris and pen's mainly) and SMN does an amaaazing cake soap in that perfume#might do an autumn/winter list later in the season#[edited for typos after posting!]

riize as fragrances (hc)

ft. riize (ot7!)
꩜ .ᐟ a/n: this has been on my mind rent free so i had to get this out of my noggin😗 also all of these fragrances i have smelled irl so yk i'm not yapping without knowing what these smell like lmao.
꩜ .ᐟ credit to @cafekitsune for the dividers :>
— shotaro
in my opinion, shotaro is the most fashion forward out of the members, so naturally, his taste in scents seems to be more adventurous too. bcs of this, finding just one fragrance was super hard lol; i feel like he'd be into diff types of scent. nevertheless, i think le mâle by jean paul gaultier meshes quite well with his freespirited nature. the bergamot and mint notes accentuate that but the vanilla makes it sweet and warm, almost in an edible way. yet the lavender makes this aromatic?? like expensive aftershave if you will, which is super manly tew🫣 this perfume is also quite loud in my experience so, like his outfits, it'd grab attention whenever he goes somewhere.
— eunseok
eunseok also seems like the type of guy who leans more towards masculine scents, but not as loud as shotaro's. terre d'hermès eau givrée by, suprise, hermès, is just that: manly, sophisticated yet mischievous. it's giving "i have my shit together, but i know how to have fun" yk? the citrusy notes are super fresh which reflects his "relaxed" attitude but, it's not warm nor sweet. bcs of the juniper, it's quite sharp, spicy and yet, almost feels like the cold? idk but it's the opposite of a warm scent, it's like a cold breeze (briize :D) on a summer night?? pls dont @ me, this is what my nose is telling me. also the woody base gives it a manly vibe. this particular photo of him just fits this scent so well UGH. he looks so good.
— sungchan
ANOTHER SUPER MASCULINE FRAGRANCE !! i mean is this surprising?? acqua di gio profumo by giorgio armani pairs well with his masculine yet playful personality. it's similar to shotaro's and eunseok's with the citrus BUT this one is particularly deep bcs of the incense note in the base. it's super aquatic but not watery nor smth that will fade away in three hours. it's the type of perfume you'll smell while walking in the street and think "wow, this is a man." LIKE IM NOT KIDDING LOL. this is something that WILL get compliments, especially from women. and idk... i don't think he'd be experimental with his perfume; it's a classic for a reason.
— wonbin
we all know he's a bit silly despite his (failed) efforts in keeping a mysterious facade. so i think this desire to be seen as a "cool" guy also translates into wearing a perfume that matches that. okay ngl i struggled a bit for wonbin. but when i smelled it, i was convinced. black datura by miller harris is dark, sultry and surprisingly sweet, which totally fits. it gives me the vibes of an 80s rockstar. the flowery and fruity notes combined with the smoky amber and musk just screams wonbin to me. it's dark and sexy. this is also a unisex scent, which ties well with his attitude towards fashion and style; he's not afraid of wearing something unique and this perfume is def rare to smell in the wild.
— sohee
i feel like sohee isn't the type to care too much abt this; he probably has few scents he likes and just rotate between those. he seems like he likes refreshing vibrant scents without being too overbearing nor sharp. l'eau d'issey pour homme by issey miyake is so sohee coded to me; the mint, mandarin and yuzu notes give this fragrance a youthful vibe. it's almost sparkly? it's literally summer in a bottle. but compared to other summery scents, this one is more green than blue (aquatic) bcs of the earthy notes like sage and vetiver which kinda matches his more grounded personality—he seems like a very down-to-earth dude. the musk makes this more intimate, and the cedar and sandalwood gives this scent a slight masculine edge. that coordinates nicely with his introverted boyish charms.
— seunghan
in my head, seunghan's a total romantic. i feel like he'd want to wear something that will woo his partner and eternity by calvin klein is perfect. it's been around since the 90s and is still going strong; i dont think he'd wanna explore too much. this scent is clean, citrusy and aromatic that reminds me of his shy yet outgoing? personality. but after a few hours it's less of that and more musky, and woody, which is manly, intimate to me. this isn't a scent for clubbing nor for young immature guys. but the slightly masculine vibe matches well with his charisma on stage. the mature yet nostalgic vibe kinda ties well w/ his dependable and considerate nature.
— anton
at last! i think anton doesn't want a super loud and striking scent bcs of his more quiet personality—he'd much prefer something intimate, a scent you'd be able to smell when in close proximity (like hugging or smth🤭). i think lazy sunday morning by replica (maison margiela) is perfect for that: it's clean, and musky which gives a "your skin but better" smell. and honestly this is smth i'd wear too! it's cozy, and smells like fresh sheets to me. like i said, this is perfect for snuggling together on a couch... and out of the members, he seems like the most approachable so i feel like this meshes well w that, as it's quite unisex and appealing to almost everybody.

got paid yayyyyy okay so i bought perfume that was suggested to me for a astarion sort of scent, i bought a sample of Rêverie de Bergamote from miller harris to mix with beloved by stone & wit. i bought a 10ml roller of beloved bc brandy is a more rareish scent it seems? plus i like what the other scents there are so, if i dont care for the bergamot and rosemary smell i got here, i can maybe try something else. plus 65$ for a bottle is a bit much for me rn so. we shall see.

Autumn and Winter Scents for the Dark Academic
Some of my favourite scents for cooler weather, with a dark academic vibe. All of these perfumes make me think of cozy nights and blustery days. All unisex, at a variety of price points. If you guys like this, I’ll make one for Light Academia scents as well! Details below.
Jazz Club - Maison Martin Margiela
Boozy cocktails in a smoky bar, with a sweetness that ties it all together. MMM calls this a male scent, but it's got enough vanilla that I think it leans really unisex. Great in colder weather, smells perfect on a wooly jumper. My boyfriend likes to borrow this.
Nirvana Amethyst - Elizabeth and James
Floral tobacco with a dash of pencil shavings. This is what your 90s revival poet friend wears. It is elegant and well blended, but the cedar pencil note keeps it from being stuffy.
Étui Noir - Miller Harris
Old leather jacket and smoky incense. Very moody, dark with a strong gothic vibe. Buy this if your favourite colour is black. Spray with caution - it is very strong!
No. 3 Pomegranate - Hotel Collection
Spicy pomegranate and rhubarb. Fruity but not sweet, with plenty of spicy pepper and cloves. Complex, it is the opposite of 'cute'. This is what pumpkin spice wants to be when it growns up. No. 3 is a dupe of Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir, but sold at Aldi. BARGAIN BUY, people! Even on reseller sites (amazon, ebay) you can normally pick it up for less than £15.

vetiver insolent is too powdery for my liking. I enjoy the vetiver but it’s like if Chanel did a vetiver perfume. These miller Harris fragrances are really a hit or miss for me. the British perfume sensibilities don’t suit me

L'Air de Rien (Miller Harris)
L'Air de Rien wears a embroidered sheepskin Afghan coat with long, curly blonde fleece festooning the collar and cuffs. Stained from long travels, softened by hard wear, it reeks of cigarette smoke, incense, patchouli oil, lanolin, and the accumulated body odors of she who has worn it -- largely without the benefit of soap and water-- for six weeks straight.
And what an eventful six weeks it's been! Tangiers, Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, fueled by hashish and mint tea from morning to night... Remember the souk in Fes, spices by the sackful lined up on the paving stones? Remember sleeping on the beach at Essaouira, to be awakened at dawn by children selling fresh dates wrapped in palm leaves? Then there was that midnight camel ride under a sickle moon... was that still Morocco? Or Algiers? (Or Paris; they have camels and moons in Paris, don't they? All that bourbon can make a girl forget things...)
Anyway, Paris: pastis and cigarettes on the balcony of Jagger's suite at the Hôtel de Crillon. He was in rare form that night-- and L'Air de Rien's got the bruises to prove it. This Navajo silver-and-turquoise bracelet? Mick gave it to her, naturally... for services rendered. (But the black leather bullwhip? Well... it wasn't exactly given so much as taken; a souvenir, you understand....)
Other souvenirs housed in the coat's infernal pockets: ticket stubs, phone numbers, unpaid traffic citations, Gauloises Bleues, pot seeds, licorice cough lozenges, tear-stained love letters, soiled panties, stolen hotel room keys, a Barretta (loaded), a hash pipe (empty-- je suis désolée!), and silk-tasseled mala beads worn shiny by repeated caresses between perfumed fingers...
She shows up on your doorstep at two a.m., bleary-eyed and laughing, pushing her way past you without further invitation. You'll let me crash here, won't you, love? Ravenous from weeks on the road, she empties out your refrigerator for an impromptu feast-- and leaves a mountain of dirty dishes in your kitchen sink. She seems to smoke just to show off her French inhale, and to wear clothes just to theatrically remove them while you watch. When she's gone, your sofa cushions smell of her for weeks-- the rich and musky scent of an outlaw life, replete with unbrushed teeth, unwashed hair, and the wood smoke of a thousand bonfires.
It could be as people say-- L'Air de Rien is Muscs Koublaï Khän's spoiled little sister, coasting around the world on the last fumes of a much-abused trust fund. But you don't believe everything you hear, do you? Better to take the word of her spiritual mentor, Edna St. Vincent Millay: L'Air de Rien is one of those "gypsy souls following false paths in search of camping grounds that cannot be on earth, thirsting after poisoned springs, singers of forbidden songs, insatiable..."
Scent Elements: Oakmoss, neroli, musk, amber, vanilla

Beloved by Stone & Wit layered underneath Rêverie de Bergamote by Miller Harris would probably get the smell but that'd also be like eight billion dollars. I might suggest grabbing a roller of Villa Diodati by Poesie (4.50 per sample vial!) and pairing it w/ your bergamot/brandy area of choice? Aside, Poesie also has a fragrance called Maria Montessori that features similar notes. Bergamot, rosemary, etc. Might do it for 'ya. Academy of Pleasure by Alkemia? Maybe? Perhaps Amor Intellectuals. Everything else I Have in my cheap zones tends to run super sleazy-slutty so i hope this assists. Check out Imaginary Authors, Zoologist, Zingaro, Immortal Perfumes, and Alkemia for some fun zing.
i will check these tomorrow bc i will impulse buy FOR SURE rn. thank u babe ily this is a lot of effort to make me happy 😭 (said in a kind voice, impressed voice)
