Launched in 2020, Black Datura by Miller Harris is a composition that balances the brightness of white florals with the richness of amber and musk. Perfumer Emilie Bouge crafts an intriguing blend where tuberose takes center stage, its creamy sweetness tempered by notes of pink pepper and red fruits. The base is anchored by ambergris and lily, adding depth and warmth to a scent that feels both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance lightly — the tuberose and pink pepper notes are bright but can be overpowering if too much is used. The ambergris base develops over time, so a light spritz in the morning will evolve beautifully throughout the day.
