The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1998, Mira-Bai by Chopard is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that embodies the brand's Swiss elegance and quality. Perfumer Mark Buxton crafted this composition with a fruity opening of peach, black currant, and plum that adds a touch of sweetness. The heart notes of rose and jasmine bring floral warmth, while the base of vanilla, sandalwood, and cedar provide a rich and powdery finish. Mira-Bai seamlessly blends these elements to create a fragrance that is both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with two sprays to ensure that the fruity top notes are balanced by the rich base. It blooms within an hour, so give it time to settle before heading out.

Mark Buxton

The blind-test prodigy

Mark Buxton, born in England and raised near Hamburg, entered perfumery almost by accident: at 21, a German game show challenge to identify 600 perfumes by scent alone caught the attention of Haarmann & Reimer, who offered him a place in their Paris training program.
