Poirier d’un Soir

Exploring Miller Harris Poirier d'un Soir

Poirier d'un Soir rewards patience. Released in 2015, this EDP from Miller Harris does not announce itself immediately — it unfolds. The Fruity, Woody, Boozy, Rose, Musky structure is layered, nuanced, and deliberately uncommercial. For those who have moved past designer signatures and are searching for something more considered, Poirier d'un Soir is a destination worth the journey.

A sophisticated and slightly boozy pear fragrance with a dark, woody undertone, representing Miller Harris's elegant British niche sensibility, appealing to discerning tastes in the US/UK.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Poirier d'un Soir opens with Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Pear and Tagetes — the first impression as it hits the skin. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: Turkish Rose, Davana and Cognac. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Cedarwood, White Musk, Cashmere Wood and Birch.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Fruity, Woody, Boozy, Rose, Musky — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
