The story behind the bottle.
Violet Ida by Miller Harris was launched in 2019, crafted by perfumer Mathieu Nardin to evoke the essence of floral and woody musk. The composition begins with a bright, zesty bergamot that introduces a delicate heliotrope and iris, creating an initial powdery warmth. As it settles into its base notes of vanilla and liquidambar, Violet Ida transforms into a comforting embrace, where the sweetness of almond and the depth of violet intertwine to create a harmonious blend.
Apply Violet Ida sparingly to allow its nuanced layers to develop over time. The initial bergamot and heliotrope top notes are fleeting, but they set the stage for a richer base that blooms gradually. Ideal for evenings or cooler weather when you want a fragrance that feels intimate and warm.
