Miller Harris Tender is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Tender opens with Hyacinth, Tulip, Pink Pepper, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Peony, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Leather, and Patchouli. Miller Harris's Tender carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Tender is a divisive beast: one moment it's a unique, complex floral with an edgy ink note, the next it's likened to rotten rose petals or a bin of bio-waste. It's not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's an unforgettable olfactory journey.

Its moderate projection and longevity mean it's suitable for casual wear and might even work for a non-traditional date, as it's often described as an 'intimate' scent. However, its unusual character and potential for being 'too much' for some make it a less ideal choice for formal events or the office.

About

A truly peculiar floral that kicks off with an unexpected aldehydic-ink punch, quickly giving way to a cool, waxy blend of hyacinth and tulip, warmed by cinnamon and pepper. As it settles, a dry, slightly salty saffron note emerges, deepening into a musky, woody leather base with hints of patchouli and frankincense. It's a journey from floral brightness to a contemplative, almost melancholic dry down.
