Miles

Miles is a sweet, honeyed scent with dried fruit and woods, released by the French house Detaille and intended for men.

Lime and petitgrain open it with a bright, slightly bitter citrus-and-leaf freshness, with geranium adding a rosy, minty edge. The heart is where the sweetness lies: honey and white honey give a thick, golden richness, dried fruits and fruity notes a dark, raisin-like sweetness, and immortelle a warm, maple-syrup-like note. Vanilla rounds it off, with woody notes giving a dry structure underneath.

It suits autumn and winter and evening wear. Anyone who likes honeyed, dried-fruit sweetness with a woody backbone should find it rewarding, particularly as an alternative to vanilla-led gourmands, since the honey and immortelle give it a darker, more grown-up sweetness.
