The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

La Fumee Ottoman by Miller Harris, launched in 2013 and crafted by Lyn Harris, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that captures the essence of a smoky, aromatic journey through time. The composition opens with cumin and cardamom, creating a fresh spicy tension before transitioning into a heart of rose and bergamot. At its core, incense and cedar provide warmth while patchouli and sandalwood anchor it in earthy richness. This fragrance is neither masculine nor feminine, embodying the lasting elegance for which Miller Harris is known.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the smoky base notes have time to develop. This fragrance is best for evening wear, as its rich depth reads better in dim settings. Avoid over-application during warmer months when the spiciness can be overwhelming.
