Miller Harris Le Pamplemousse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Lyn Harris. Le Pamplemousse opens with Rhubarb, Grapefruit, and Melon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rosemary, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Miller Harris's Le Pamplemousse carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This isn't your average juicy grapefruit scent. Le Pamplemousse is a divisive, herbal, and unapologetically bitter citrus, loved by those who appreciate its unique complexity and green earthiness.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

An initial blast of sharp, bitter grapefruit rind, rhubarb, and melon cuts through the air, quickly giving way to a deeply aromatic heart of rosemary and sage. As it settles, a prominent, true-to-nature oakmoss and earthy vetiver emerge, grounding the fragrance in a refined, green woody base with hints of cedar. It's a journey from zesty bitterness to deep, mossy greens.
