Miller Harris Étui Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Mathieu Nardin. Étui Noir opens with Bergamot, Elemi, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Iris, Incense, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Miller Harris's Étui Noir carries a Favourite verdict, an amber-led wear.

A buttery, smoky leather and iris delight that's either a classy powerhouse or a screechy violet nightmare, depending on who you ask. It’s a definite try-before-you-buy, but for those it clicks with, it's a masterpiece.

About

Étui Noir opens with a burst of citrusy bergamot and tangerine, quickly ushering in a sophisticated, powdery iris entwined with the smooth, soft caress of cashmere wood. Incense provides a dry, smoky underscore, while the base reveals a deeply satisfying blend of leathery labdanum and birch, grounded by earthy vetiver and warm amber. It's a journey from luminous top notes to a rich, resinous, and subtly animalic dry-down.
