The story behind the bottle.
Coeur d'Ete by Miller Harris was launched in 2006 and is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women crafted by Lyn Harris. The composition opens with the bright freshness of grapefruit, lemon, and mandarin orange, creating an effervescent top that feels like a burst of summer light. As it evolves, heliotrope and lilac bring a soft floral warmth, while banana and white pear add subtle sweetness, making way for the rich, earthy notes of cacao pod and cassia. The fragrance settles into a warm base of sandalwood, musk, benzoin, and vanilla, creating an enveloping embrace that feels like the lazy afternoon sun.
Apply this fragrance in light layers, as the bright top notes are fleeting but impactful. Allow it to settle for about an hour before heading out; the gourmand base will gradually come into its own and provide lasting warmth.
