Miller Harris - Scherzo EDP - 100ml

Bestselling Scherzo Eau de Parfum recreates the heady glamour of 1930s French riviera in our Unisex best-selling Miller Harris perfume. Bursting with fruits, flowers and shimmering sunshine.

An intensely vibrant scent, full of colour, depth and a rush of sweetness, Scherzo captures a multitude of blooms: dark red rose, clouds of peony, sunny yellow narcissus and crisp white pittosporum. The sweetness of tangerine is offset by the intoxicating purple richness of davana, which adds a twist of liquor to the scent. The base shimmers with oud, earthy patchouli and a sprinkling of sugar to capture the feeling of a confectioner’s window.

Launched in 2018, Scherzo fragrance is inspired by a passage of text in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night. This short passage was the only thing given to perfumer Mathieu Nardin as the brief for the fragrance to be created. The resulting perfume has gone on to become an instant classic and a Miller Harris perfume bestseller in our house of fragrances.

Star Notes

PEONY

Voluptuous, sensual yet fragile and fresh, a national emblem in China and Japan symbolising beauty and abundance.

OUDH

One of the most expensive ingredients that perfumers can use, in the Middle East it is known as 'black gold'. This dark resinous oil derived from agarwood gives a long lasting and intoxicating depth.

SWEET NOTE

Fitzgerald writes descriptively of the real roses "looking like sugar flowers in a confectioners window". Maltol is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of larch trees and pine needles.
