Poirier d'un Soir

Poirier d'un Soir by the British house Miller Harris is a sweet, edible-leaning fragrance with woods and flowers close behind and a faint thread of spice and leather. Mathieu Nardin composed it, it was released in 2015, and it is worn by anyone.

The opening is the most playful part: juicy pear and tart black currant over spun sugar and a splash of rum, brightened by bergamot. As it settles, peony and Turkish rose add soft petals, while birch and spices bring a dry, smoky, slightly leathery edge that explains the darker accords. The drydown rests on white cedar and cashmere wood, with ambrette giving a soft, musky warmth.

The name means a pear tree in the evening, and the scent fits that mood: sweet and gentle, with a smoky, wooded undertone that suits autumn evenings, dinners and quiet nights in. It will appeal to someone who likes gourmand fruit but wants it balanced with dry wood rather than pure sugar.
