Refined seaside breeze
I recently picked up a few samples after eyeing Miller Harris for a few years. I adore slightly offbeat oceanic scents, so really looked forward to giving Minier a sniff.
My initial impression when spraying on paper was disappointing: it smelled generic, muddled, and boring. I quickly dismissed the sample in favor of the others in my package.
So imagine my surprise when I decided to spritz a bit on my wrists before going out to run errands: there was the fragrance I was expecting! A cold, bright sea breeze rustling through green dune grass on a base of driftwood, but all of this through a refined, classic lens that I can only really describe as "perfume-y," in that it isn't a photorealistic scent by any means, but a perfumer's interpretation of the scene.
This is an elegant take on a chilly seascape, much brighter and less brooding than something like Oud Minerale (which I also adore).
