Miller Harris Le Cedre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Mathieu Nardin. Le Cedre opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Incense, settles into a heart of Orchid and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Woody Notes, Musk, and Cedar. Miller Harris's Le Cedre carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper grower. While some find the initial peppery hit a bit much, stick with it and you'll get a beautifully blended cedar and musk scent that really earns its name. A love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but a solid win for those who appreciate a quality wood.

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.

About

Le Cedre opens with a bold, spicy kick of pink and black pepper and a touch of incense, hinting at something deep and verdant. This quickly mellows, allowing the star-of-the-show cedar to emerge, softened by creamy cashmere wood and a delicate whisper of mimosa and orchid. It settles into a warm, musky base, evoking the earthy scent of an old wooden barn on a crisp autumn evening.
