Miller Harris Black Datura is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Black Datura opens with Red Fruits, Tuberose, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Resins, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Lily, and Ambergris. Miller Harris's Black Datura carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a serious love-it-or-hate-it scent; definitely not a safe blind buy. For those who get it, Black Datura is a dark, intoxicating white floral that casts a bewitching spell. For others, it's a scrubber. Try before you commit.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Black Datura opens with a heady, indolic blast of tuberose and ylang-ylang, given a surprising kick by pink pepper and juicy red fruits. As it settles, a resinous, ambery warmth emerges, intertwined with a sensual musk and the delicate, slightly soapy clean of lily, creating a sophisticated yet mysterious depth. There are hints of animalic intrigue and sometimes, for the unlucky few, a surprising, unlisted note of.. well, corn tortillas or even ash.
