Miller Harris La Fumee Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Lyn Harris. La Fumee Intense opens with Lavender, Incense, and Elemi, and settles into a heart of Geranium, Cardamom, Coriander, and Chamomile. Miller Harris's La Fumee Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

A smoky, spicy powerhouse that’s divisive but ultimately rewarding. Some find it a bit ‘pickle-y’ or too masculine, but for those who get it, La Fumee Intense delivers a complex, high-quality incense experience that is unequivocally grand.

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.

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

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Opens with a potent blast of elemi and incense, sharpened by aromatic lavender. The heart unfolds with warm, fresh spices - think cardamom and coriander - softened by geranium and the subtle, soothing hint of chamomile. The dry down introduces a smooth, yet potent oud, alongside balsamic and smoky undertones, creating a rich and deeply textured finish.
