Citric, floral, laundry/white musk. I typically am a bit picky with what I call “industrial clean” musks. This one balances it with a sort of bitter neroli and I am surprised that I enjoy it. Perfect for the office or as a gift for anyone who likes to smell good but doesn’t really care about perfume. Lasts on my skin all the way through my 8 hour work day as a very close skin scent (basically no projection after the first 30 mins.)

*Love* this neroli. At the beginning, it’s kind of annoyingly in-your-face clean and bright and intense. Then it calms and softens and deepens with jasmine muskiness and rich amber.

I love this perfume! It is utterly captivating and as a woman who adores perfume and who is always striving to find a new fragrance which is not being sprayed by everyone this fragrance was a great choice. I have never had so many compliments and questions about a perfume until I discovered lLumière Dorée at Miller Harris Covent Garden -Beautiful.

Lumière Dorée manages to be both lovely and surprisingly complex. It has a delightfully bitter opening, like being smacked in the face with a good cologne that’s been stripped of its herbal verdancy, leaving only crunchy petitgrain and pithy bitter orange. A nice white musk then kicks in, alluding to laundry freshness. But the sense of freshness is only illusory, because there’s always a dirty, indolic jasmine lurking in the shadows. The resulting celan/dirty/bitter contrast is at once comforting and disconcerting. This is undoubtedly the best Miller Harris I’ve tried to date.

This smells exactly like laundry powder to me, I’m sampling and wearing it to work today as I need something non intrusive, no dreamy connotations to distract me from the job and also just clean. Bitter orange, jasmine and musk, I can smell them all but I can’t stop thinking laundry powder. Clean, clean, clean, that’s what this is, like standing in a lift with someone wearing a freshly laundered shirt and leaning in a tiny bit to get another whiff just to be sure of what you’re smelling.

Miller Harris does clean fresh white (orange blossom) laundry musk.
i can’t smell the jasmine at all, for all the squeaky clean (a bit sharp to my nose) musk.
but i did get a beautiful neroli and petit grain opening.
if you love Pure Poison and Burberry London, you will love this.
but if you have them, you might not need it.
Miller Harris has always impressed me with it’s slightly off beat, original and natural smelling perfumes.
but recently, the ones i have tested have simply been variations on a theme that has already been done before. And in my opinion, they haven’t necessarily upped the ante on these themes, leaving me a little disappointed.
but i still do i love this house.
now i am worried that La Fumee i am about to test is going to smell just like (but not quite as good as) a Serge.
what has happened?
am a bit sad tonight, but i will get over myself. i still have my Miller Harris old favourites.
i know that profit comes from producing a known “type” that will sell, but what i saw as an artistic interpretation beforehand, seems to have turned into some pretty similar renditions of existing and perhaps popular perfumes from other houses.
i know this is the way of the world, but it still saddens me.
Or, maybe we have reached perfume formulas saturation point in the perfume world. there are a zillion perfumes out there after all.
on the plus side, if you only want Miller Harris in your life, there is everything a scent wardrobe would require.

Oh I really love this. I don’t think I can improve on Kouros94’s review, but I’ll give it a go because I think this deserves more attention than it seems to be getting. On me there is no bitterness, but a grown-up, austere lemon growing into the sun through a tangle of jasmine. It is elegant and, yes, as bright as the name suggests, yet with no hint of stridency. It really does sing. I find it simpler than many Miller Harris scents; that it travels less far in terms of mid and base notes. But when the top note is so beautiful, so calm and yet so sumptuous, who needs it to go anywhere?

This is a very strong white floral scent without any sweetness. Bitter, very bitter, and I must agree with the review below mine, I can sense neroli as well.
I like how the reviewer before me associates this fragrance with Sicily, I haven’t been there, but it seems well suited.
This isn’t just so pleasant, that I would like it from the first sniff, I think liking it must be learned with time.

A fresh burst of what smelled like neroli to me, though probably the bitter orange backed by some petit grain. The opening is fresh, like pulling on a white linen shirt in Sicily and enjoying a refreshing mandarin granita for breakfast. Not long after a delicate orange blossom blooms, increasing in volume as the opening’s freshness fades, this is accompanied by a very natural, very faintly indolic jasmine sambac and the duet of white flowers will sing off your skin for hours. This heart never gets heavy or overbearing and is perfectly balanced with the spirit of the opening. Towards the end of the life of this beauty, a light musk, not white, nor animalic, simply “fuzzy” starts to emerge and increases the longevity of this fragrance considerably. The transitions of this fragrance are remarkable, the attention to the blend also deserves some praise. Overall a wonderful offering from this house, which focuses on putting out some authentic creations.
