La Pluie Miller Harris 2011
3
A Warm Floral Shower
The name confuses me a bit.
With La Pluie, I can't really connect what I see when I look out the window. I expected a cold English downpour, but La Pluie is a warm tropical island shower that primarily brings the scent of a flower:
Ylang-Ylang in high concentration.
Both on me and on another "test subject" (friends and acquaintances must, um, are welcome to lend me their arm), the Ylang note develops extremely dominant. Since I like Ylang, this doesn't bother me, especially as it comes across very naturally here.
Here on parfumo, I stumbled upon a thread where someone was looking for a scent that smells like rubber doll heads. So, if you like that, you might want to try La Pluie, as the Ylang sometimes shifts into a rubbery quality, combined with a light vanilla sweetness. Also, those who love Guerlain's Ylang-Vanille might enjoy this scent, as it develops quite similarly, with a bit longer longevity.
And for this reason, since I still have a bottle of Ylang-Vanille, it probably won't join my collection just yet, although it is a candidate for purchase.
Thanks again to the lovely donor of the sample!
