Chopard Mira-Bai is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1998, created by Mark Buxton. Mira-Bai opens with Bergamot, Peach, Plum, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Chopard's Mira-Bai carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive yet distinctive fruity oriental, Mira-Bai offers a unique blend of sweet and spicy. Some find it a youthful, joyful concoction, while others are put off by its perceived loudness and synthetic edge. It's not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Summer

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

With moderate longevity and sillage, Mira-Bai is versatile but best suited for situations where its warmth can shine without overwhelming. It's a bit too rich for the office and too substantial for sport, but perfect for a cozy casual outing or a romantic evening.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mira-Bai opens with a vibrant burst of syrupy peach and tart blackcurrant, brightened by a whisper of bergamot, evoking a radiant, fruity sweetness. As it settles, a lush heart of classic rose and creamy jasmine emerges, underpinned by warm rosewood. The dry-down is a cosy embrace of rich amber, smooth vanilla, and earthy cedar, leaving a subtly sensual trail.
