Miller Harris Oud Éclat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Émilie Bouge. Oud Éclat settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Amber, Nutmeg, and Canadian Fir Balsam, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane, Musk, Leather, and Oakmoss. Miller Harris's Oud Éclat carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a sophisticated, sweeter take on the popular BR540 DNA, while others are repulsed by an overpowering, photorealistic cigarette ash note. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

Its bold, sweet, and smoky character, with good projection, makes it too assertive for office wear. However, its sophisticated and sensual aura is perfect for intimate dates and formal evening 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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Eugenol from Nutmeg
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Oud Éclat opens with a warm, fresh spicy kick, quickly settling into a prominent, almost caramelised sugar note. Fir resin offers a cool, balsamic contrast, interwoven with a hint of floral sweetness and nutmeg. The drydown introduces a subtle, worn leather alongside green oakmoss and a soft musk, grounding the initial sweetness with a woody, slightly smoky depth.
