Celadon
Celadon by Miller Harris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with tea, tomato leaf, cardamom and lemon verbena, moves into rose, basil, lavender, tuberose and magnolia and dries down to cedarwood, oakmoss, smoke, musk and mate. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Tea Tea with no variety named. Dry, slightly tannic and calm.
- Tomato Leaf Bitter, fuzzy, greenhouse-in-summer. Divisive and very distinctive.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Lemon Verbena Lemon crossed with crushed herbs. Smells like expensive soap.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
