Etui Noir

Fragrance description

In the realm of thoughts, not everything is visible. Reality transcends the known bounds of perception. Everything and nothing, in one silent stroke of the pen.

Miller Harris' Etui Noir is an olfactory journey, capturing the essence of leather in all its nuanced forms. It's a captivating dance of contrasts, drawing you in with its myriad interpretations - from the polish of patent boots, through the soft whisper of suede, to the comforting familiarity of a well-worn leather jacket.

It's a narrative, a dialogue between notes, each one contributing its unique voice to an intriguingly multifaceted scent story. The leather, powerful yet subtle, takes center stage, its intensity mellowed by the powdery caress of iris (iris butter), creating an effect reminiscent of suede.

Yet, Etui Noir is not just about leather. It's a symphony of elements, with notes of balsamic incense adding a touch of sweetness and an undercurrent of hypnotic smokiness. Vetiver brings a grounding, earthy edge, a comforting base note that anchors the scent, lending it an aura of tranquil stability.

The opening is a tantalizing harmony of Bergamot from Italy, tangy Tangerine, and Elemi Gum. It then segues into a heart of Moroccan Iris Butter, Incense, Cashmere Wood, and Styrax, a harmonious blend that provides a soothing interlude before the final act.

The base of Etui Noir is a rich tapestry woven with Patchouli from Indonesia, Haitian Vetiver, Leather, Amber, Birch, and Labdanum Absolute, creating a depth that lingers long after the initial encounter.
