Miller Harris La Pluie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. La Pluie opens with Wheat, Bergamot, Lavender, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Cassia, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Vanilla. Miller Harris's La Pluie carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your average drizzle. La Pluie is a creamy, tropical floral that’s far more about sun-drenched fields and humid gardens than cold, grey skies. A polarizing name, but a surprisingly sophisticated and highly complimented scent.

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:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and persistent, yet not overpowering, floral character make it perfectly suited for office wear, as many reviewers attest. The warm, inviting qualities also lend themselves well to casual and date settings, though it might be a bit too relaxed for very formal events.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Cassia Cinnamomum Cassia Leaf Oil from Cassia
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • 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

Opens with a unique, damp wheat and green note, touched by citrus and a soft, non-challenging lavender. This quickly blossoms into a rich, buttery ylang-ylang and jasmine heart, tempered by soft vanilla. The drydown settles into a warm, humid vetiver-vanilla blend, subtly sweet and persistently floral.
