Miller Harris Terre de Bois is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Lyn Harris. Terre de Bois opens with Citrus, Galbanum, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Spicy, Juniper, Sage, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Miller Harris's Terre de Bois carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This discontinued aromatic-citrus-woody scent sparks strong opinions: a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some hailing its unique green bitterness and others recoiling from its sharp, soapy quirks. It's a challenging but rewarding wear for those who appreciate its offbeat charm.

About

Terre de Bois opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of lemon verbena and bright citrus, underscored by the dusty, almost mentholated freshness of clary sage. As it settles, a distinctive green bitterness emerges from galbanum and vetiver, mingled with the waxy, aromatic scent of juniper and a subtle, almost contradictory, sweetness of cotton candy. It dries down to an earthy, woody base with lingering herbal nuances, creating a complex, multifaceted aroma.
