The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Terre de Bois by Miller Harris was launched in 2000 and crafted by Lyn Harris, the brand's founder. This Chypre fragrance opens with aromatic and citrus notes that create a fresh, invigorating start. The heart of green and herbal elements adds a natural, earthy quality, while soft spicy and woody base notes ground the composition in warmth and depth. Terre de Bois is neither overtly floral nor overly sweet, making it an unisex choice that reads as both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with two light sprays to allow the aromatic top notes to bloom before giving way to its rich base. It pairs well with daytime activities but can also be worn in the evening for an understated elegance.
