I recently discovered Miller Harris while at a department store in Paris. I was automatically drawn to it as I am intrigued by niche perfume houses that are yet to be discovered by the majority. I tested out multiple perfumes and was immediately drawn to Rose Silence.
Rose Silence is a beautiful and soft rose scent. It immediately reminded me of the old formulation of the Bvlgari Rose Essentielle, which was my perfectly crisp rose scent that has unfortunately been discontinued and replaced by Bvlgari Splendida Rose (which is nothing to compare, very boring generic rose with no depth, no speciality). You could imagine my excitement when Rose Silence reminded me of my all time favorite rose scent. Rose Silence shares the crisp notes of a fresh rose, yet still has a slight depth thanks to the soft patchouli in the background. I also notice a very soft white musk lingering throughout, that also gives it a “clean” and luxurious soapy feel to it. It reminds me of fully bloomed roses in the early dusky morning, while still having water droplets on them from the crisp wet night. Some people have mentioned that they noticed the black currant, I somehow do not detect the black currant nor orange.
So easy to wear for daily use. My only complaint being the longevity. It lasts only a 2-4 hours on me. I find that if I spritz it on clothing it lasts slightly longer than on bare skin.

Miller Harris is one of my favourite houses; I have Figure Amere, Vetiver Insolent and Fleurs de Sel, all of which I adore for their smoky, woody yet fresh and unexpected combinations of notes. They’re somehow very modern, stylish and leaning to the masculine, but as a woman I feel comfortable and sexy in them. Cassis en Feuille is another unexpected composition; less sexy but even more intriguing.
I love fresh, classic, accurate rose fragrances, and had high hopes that MH would add their usual twist to break new ground in this well-explored territory and take the classic rose somewhere dark and interesting.
Unfortunately, I found Rose Silence disappointing. The main problem is that rose and patchouli never co-exist. It starts out as a pure soapy patchouli with the tiniest whisper of rose. This dies down very quickly to a skin scent and after half an hour the rose emerges as a slightly candied, almost salty murmur; for me, this stage is the best part of the journey but much too quiet.
I’m looking forward to layering this under stronger rose scents to add a darker tone, but as a standalone fragrance it’s not for me.

Gentle Rose…Rose Silence is a subtle, gentle rose fragrance. I do like it because I find it very wearable as a rose fragrance. You get a very gentle yet vivid and transparent rose, it’s like very refined rosewater and I think the way this has been done is commendable. Some light, juicy fruit serves to bring out the fruity aspects of the rose, and this stops the rose from being powdery or heavy or jammy in any way. The is some light clean musk which always keeps this fragrance subtle and clean. I would use the word “effervescent” to describe this. I find it very wearable and think it’s gender neutral.
I do think that this would smell great on a man or a woman and I would recommend it to anyone out there who is looking for a rose scent that doesn’t smell old-fashioned but just modern and natural. In that respect.. this is one of my favorite rose scents. I must say I don’t find the projection that remarkable (especially in eau de parfum as this is) but it’s a good rose scent to have and a good reference rose at the price point. The house of Miller Harris always makes realistic smelling fragrances, and Rose Silence is no exception.

This smells so basic. Not bad, not good, just basic. I find many women in their 40s smell like this. It’s probably because of the rose and patchouli and then the blackcurrant that is the main note in one perfume I smell everywhere: Sí.

This is a beautiful fresh and unassuming scent.
I was given the 14ml by a friend who isn’t into rose perfumes, and I am so glad as this is a perfect one for me!
It reminds me slightly of Body Shop – Atlas Mountain Rose and Paul Smith – Rose which are both modern rose scents.
I feel this is a great one just for day time or at work and I can’t imagine anyone disliking it as it isn’t very overpowering.
The sillage is good, and the longevity seems ok so far after an hour.

For me this was the best rose perfume that I’ve tried. It’s such a beautiful and pure rose scent when I sprayed! After 10 minutes, the musk scent came out smoothly and I just said “wow”. I had a trial size and I will buy the full size.

Bright, clean & gentle rose. Some years ago it would have stolen my heart but now I find it just pretty & pleasant, so it’s just like for me. Don’t get me wrong, I do love rose and there’s nothing wrong with Silence Rose, yet my favorite Miller Harris interpretation of this flower is Rose en Noir.
Looking for the exact dupe of this perfume? Go for Zara Sunrise Rose. Notes are slightly different, smell is definitely close.

I have just received this in my beauty Advent calendar. I love it. Rose is one of my favourite scents but a lot are a bit “in your face” and old fashioned. This is a good classy rose fragrance but not too strong. I would buy it!

I really love this perfume it starts off very subtle with a true fresh, bubbly, fresh rose fragrance. It smells like you are walking in a rose garden which is lovely at the moment in the Autumn and in the dreary cold, windy weather (last week it was boiling hot Lol) anyway getting back to the review Lol. After about 30-45 mins the fragrance actually gets stronger??? You only need one spray on your pulse points on your wrist and hold them together (don’t rub but you all know that Lol) and I also put spray on my decolletage and another on my top. I must admit I was really shocked that it got stronger after 30-45 mins Lol? It wasn’t in your face everyone starts choking strong. The rose fragrance also didn’t smell artificial it smelt realistic/authentic and lovely and it was still quite strong after 5 hours then it started to slowly fade and after 8 hours was subtle and 12 hours later I could hardly smell it. So if you wear it to work it will last all day in the office without having to top up (unless you want it to be strong all day) It is a lovely fragrance and you do not need a lot also. So even tho it isn’t cheap it evens out in price as I only use 3 sprays of this where as some other perfumes I use 5 or 6 sprays (and some of those don’t last all day at work or they do but I cannot smell them by midday this I can smell) This perfume is one that can be worn all year round. In the spring and summer because the roses are out and Autumn and Winter to cheer you up and remind you of the Spring and Summer and the lovely smell of freshly cut roses. This is definitely not an old lady rose fragrance it is uplifting, young, bubbly, fresh and wearable for all ages. This is definitely a winner in my eyes x

Beautiful, classy, yet not old fashioned rose. Intriguing evolution of the notes. Long lasting and fair silage.

Quite a toned down rose – more Rose Silencieuse than Silence. If there was any less of it, it would be Inaudible…
On the positive side, rose dominated fragrances tend to be seen as old fashioned, so this avoids that trap. The short rose opening has something fizzy in it and then there is a pleasant musk like in Air de Rien. The opening and the next 20-30 mins are quite interesting. What follows is a fairly long lasting citrusy/greenish base, everything else gone. Gentle and discreet, although somewhat generic.

Rose Silence is a fantastic “rose”, one of the best rose-based perfume. Big thumbs up
