Cœur de Jardin

Cœur de Jardin by Miller Harris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, pear and peach, moves into rose, jasmine, tuberose and vanilla and dries down to iris, amber, musk, patchouli and oakmoss. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.

Dry-down

Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
