The story behind the bottle.
Tender by Miller Harris is a creation that marries the delicate floral notes of tulip and hyacinth with the warm spice and leather undertones, all underpinned by aldehydes for an unexpected freshness. Launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Tender is a composition that oscillates between soft florals and earthy depth, making it as complex as it is inviting. The interplay of pink pepper, cinnamon, and saffron adds a subtle heat to the heart, while rose and peony create a lush floral bouquet. Leather and woody notes in the base anchor the fragrance with a grounding warmth.
Tender's warm spicy and woody base notes bloom over time, so apply it to pulse points for maximum impact. The aldehydes ensure that this fragrance reads well close to skin, making it ideal for intimate settings where the scent can be fully appreciated.
