The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2002, Piment des Baies by Miller Harris is a fragrance that bridges the fresh and spicy with delicate florals and powdery woods. Lyn Harris crafted this composition around an aromatic opening of orange, caraway, and tarragon, which gives way to a heart of peony, iris, and angelica, before settling into a base of sandalwood and Madagascar vanilla. The interplay between these notes creates a dynamic scent that is both invigorating and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly as the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting. The powdery woods in the base will carry throughout the day, making it perfect for daytime wear. It's best experienced close to the skin rather than from a distance.
