By the editors · 2 min readThe opening arrives warm and honeyed, with saffron gilding the edges of almond and a faint marine shimmer from ambergris. There's an immediate plushness here, softly gourmand but never cloying, as though Miller Harris set out to make something edible and then pulled back at the last moment. The cherry exists more as an idea than a literal fruit note—heliotrope and almond conspire to create that impression, powdery and just shy of marzipan.
As it settles, cashmeran's woody haze wraps around violet and vanilla, creating a skin-close veil that reads more textural than sweet. The leather emerges gradually, suede-soft rather than animalic, anchored by vetiver's earthy bite and patchouli's quiet darkness. This is less a cherry fragrance than a study in contrasts: dessert spices meeting restraint, comfort meeting edge.
It suits those who want something intimate and unconventional, a scent that whispers rather than announces, equally at home in a bookshop or a dim bar.
