The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Miller Harris, La Fumée Arabie is a composition crafted by Lyn Harris that captures the essence of smoky and warm spices. The fragrance opens with Guatemalan cardamom and coriander, which create an aromatic contrast against the rich warmth of oud and cedar. As it settles, labdanum and birch add depth to the woody base, while incense contributes a subtle smokiness that lingers throughout.

How to wear it

Apply lightly to pulse points — this fragrance builds slowly on skin. The smoky incense notes are best experienced close to the body rather than diffused into the air.
