La Fumee

by Lyn Harris

Miller Harris La Fumee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Lyn Harris. La Fumee opens with Lavender, Elemi, and Incense, settles into a heart of Geranium, Chamomile, Cumin, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Birch, Sandalwood, and Cedar. Miller Harris's La Fumee carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a divisive gem. For some, it's a sophisticated, churchy incense masterpiece; for others, it's just 'another niche incense' or worse, a cumin-forward sweat-fest. Best to sample, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

Its warm, ambery, and woody accords make it suitable for cooler weather and evening wear, particularly for dates and formal events. While some find it subtle enough for daily wear, the potential for strong spice notes and moderate sillage lowers its office appropriateness.

About

Starts with a resinous, herbal-spicy blast of elemi, lavender, and sharp incense, quickly morphing into a warm, woody heart. Chamomile softens the edges while cardamom, cumin, and coriander lend a dry, almost 'old book' spice. The drydown settles into a luxurious amber-labdanum embrace, with creamy sandalwood and smoky birch providing a sophisticated, enduring warmth.
