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).

Oh another Miller Harris from the Stories Collection! I'm still very much in love with Celadon, it really was love at first spray, and the pyramid reads like a best-of-my-favorite fragrance notes. This one has to go!

The gravis on the i makes me think of elves, green hills or optionally bearded guys in kilts and it wasn't such a bad guess, because according to Google, Mìneir is Gaelic and means "explainer". According to the homepage, the scent is "inspired by a single page from 'The Journey to the Lighthouse' by Virginia Woolf", which of course I don't know, but according to the clever internet, the story is about a family and their visits to the Scottish Isle of Skye (ah, so Scotland was right). I like reading - just not necessarily anything written before 1980...

Lighthouse, Scotland, sea - I'm in. Miller Harris recently opened a warehouse in the Netherlands and the fragrance reached me within 24 hours of ordering, holla the forest fairy! The bottle is just as beautiful as the others in the Stories Collection and this time it's a smoky blue-green/petrol/what-can-you-call-that-color-exactly? Okay, it also matches the pyramid and makes me hope for a tart green herb-salt-wood scent. A little prayer at this point that no overly masculine Aquat comes around the corner...

The start is almost medicinal, lots of green herbs (more cardamom than mint, I don't perceive sage individually) and yes eucalyptus but not in that sauna-cold style but rather discreet. It wants to play along and yet not disturb anyone with its presence. I feel reminded of Globulus in a slightly green-greyer version, Mareld also has parallels (but is a bit fruitier).

At first, Mineir is almost a little too masculine for me, but fortunately that quickly changes, although it becomes saltier and woodier, it somehow becomes softer and warmer and therefore more unisex again. And the dreaded shower gel aftertaste is also absent. The woods are all well dried, salt-encrusted. No mustiness and no algae. I (fortunately) hardly find any patchouli, myrrh if then only discreetly, good moss, not too much - just right!

Emilie Bouge also created Hydra Figue in the same house and both fragrances have a certain overlap: cardamom, sage, salt, maritime notes. Hydra Figue, however, is located more in the Mediterranean, while Mineir represents the turbulent, lead-grey North Atlantic. If you need further rough classifications: Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel Eau de Toilette or Ichnusa, both with reduced fig green go in the same direction.

For those of you who think in pictures, think of a walk on the beach, it's windy, Brittany, Scotland or Scandinavia, it doesn't matter. Gray sky. It's fresh but not cold. A chance to really blow your head out. Jever advertising in fragrance form.

The sillage is socially acceptable. This is familiar from the other Miller Harris fragrances and I really appreciate that. The longevity is in the healthy mid-range for me with 5-6 hours, since the excessive use of wood was avoided, I think that's decent for a green-salty fragrance!

All in all, a nice addition to the range and a harmonious unisex fragrance for those who don't like it sweet and fruity. It can stay.
