Tea Tonique

Miller Harris

Super Light

My gosh but I'm finding Miller Harris perfumes light, even thin. To me this one seems to have a lot in common with Melody but without the vanilla. On my skin it is even more faint than Melody and comes across as a bergamot green tea scent in the same...

Very soft

Aspects of this remind me of a much softer Green Tea with added vanilla and no jasmine tea. Pared down, a bit more simple but enough to trigger a strong memory of Green Tea. So, with a bit of help, I finally rescued by bottle of Green Tea (1990s) from...

On me peppery aquatic soapy fig. Not very figgy but very aquatic soapy. I don't get the note pyrami at all. Nice enough but not my speed.

Finally rescued this from behind the radiator (10 years). Absolutely intact ha ha. Still a beautiful green (colour and scent). Astonished

Biba (Cologne) - Biba - 3 months ago

Loved Biba & this cologne. No recollection of its smell. Wonder if I would remember it on a re-smelling? Wish I still had the bottle.

Such a nice peachy, smokey, musky, vanilla. When did Coty take over? I don't know whether to risk a new bottle.

Very lemon, slight pine. Musky. Pleasant smell but that cleaner style disinfectant vibe (not a con.) is not my style. Really persistent.

Orange, vague fruits, musky, vague woods, dirty or stale, bit of the old waxy floor polish vibe I keep getting in modern perfumes.

From the notes I thought I would love this but got a fresh, aquatic aftershave with a sour bergamot. Not my cup of tea by a long shot.

A Little bit of This and That

I love trying out new perfumes and quite the nicest smell of all is my old biscuit tin filled with half used samples; none of which, incidentally, are suitable for deciding on the purchase of a full bottle (too old). I think I like trying out new perfumes more than I like to own full bottles...

Sad Perfume Seeking

I am making a concerted effort to find some new perfumes; my old are tinged with sadness as perfume sampling was a thing ma and I did - and pa but he thought everything smelt of bicycle inner tubes (bless him, sometimes he could suddenly smell and we would be treated to hours of, "What's that smell? ...
