The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, mingling with the subtle scent of freshly baked bread in a cozy café.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

La Pluie, launched in 2011 by Lyn Harris for Miller Harris, captures the essence of rain-soaked earth and vibrant florals. The fragrance opens with a burst of tangerine and bergamot, before transitioning into a heart of ylang-ylang and white flowers that bring a delicate sweetness to the composition. Lavender adds an herbal note, while vetiver and vanilla create a warm, woody base. La Pluie is not just a floral scent; it's a narrative of freshness and earthiness, blending seamlessly throughout its wear.

How to wear it

Apply La Pluie lightly to pulse points for the citrus and lavender notes to shine through initially. As it settles into your skin over time, the warm base of vetiver and vanilla will gradually come forward, providing a full sensory experience.
