Miller Harris Rose En Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Lyn Harris. Rose En Noir opens with Petitgrain, Cumin, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet Leaf, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Tobacco. Miller Harris's Rose En Noir carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive gothic rose, not for the faint of heart. Expect a dark, powdery, tobacco-laced floral that some adore for its unique depth and others find dusty and unwearable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely try before you 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.

About

Rose En Noir opens with a kick of fresh, bright petitgrain tempered by the earthy warmth of cumin and coriander, setting a unique stage for the rose to bloom. The heart reveals a dark, jammy rose, deepened by a peppery bite and the green, slightly metallic edge of violet leaf. The drydown unveils a rich, musky tobacco, offering a smoky, almost ash-like base that lingers with a touch of patchouli magic. This isn't a fresh, dewy rose; it's a mysterious, full-bodied bloom, shadowed by spices and a dry, sophisticated tobacco.
