Black Datura
Black Datura by Miller Harris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with tuberose, pink pepper and ylang-ylang, moves into myrrh, peru balsam, incense and labdanum and dries down to musk, amber, cedarwood, haitian vetiver and amyris. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Heart
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
- Amyris Soft, sweet, sandalwood-adjacent. Often stands in for the real thing.
