NEW! NEW! NEW! Miller et Bertaux

Hi there Fragrance Family,

One of the houses that flies under everyones radar is Miller et Bertaux. I really love their lack of trend following and general wearable outrageousness. From people so obviously Arty they work really well to create unusual, challenging, mood altering scents that also can be worn as a daily go-to. My personal thought is that spritz volume makes the difference. When I’m home alone sometimes I do 15 chest spritzes so they fumes engulf me, it’s really trippy. In the world though my usual 5 or 6 spritzes is ample, for some the openings could still be formidable.

At Esxence in Milan this year as I was wandering through the overwhelming tunnel of scent I spied the miller et Beaux stand. Fortuitously the gent manning it was available and I wanted to tell him how much I loved their work. When I’m overwhelmed my social ability goes right out the window and so I walked up and blurted out with zero preamble how much I loved their brand and that I’d paid retail for three of their scents, and also had a backup of A Quiet Morning because something so exquisitely me could never last. So this handsome smiling man offers me the newest bottle in their range, that they’re launching. Embarrassed, I declined but when he offered a full set of the Miller et Bertaux range samples I jumped, knowing you guys would LOVE to try them too.

There is a part of me that associates this fragrance house with what niche could have been if greed, laziness and cynicism didn’t become the overriding factors.

Libertine has the range in Australia
Aedes has the range in the USA

Here’s a snapshot of the ones I’m giving away today. Many reviews to follow.

Miller et Bertaux

Fragrantica

New Study/Postcard 2017: Opening citrus is air mail adventure, the hearts warm fig is the arrival and dry down is a woodsy/sweet-fig-milk that could be the postcard on the fridge in the kitchen that gets looked at and brings a smile.

A Quiet Morning 2008: This saffron, turmeric, woods fragrance doesn’t seem so new nearly 10 years from its inception but though the imitators have tried they miss the sheer effortlessness and comfort of wearing A Quiet Morning.

Shanti Shanti 2008: Shanti (from Sanskrit शान्तिः śāntiḥ) means peace, rest. Rose, iris, spices and sandalwood, all backed by patchouli. It opens so cool and dewy before sizzling through the heart to a creamy, earthbound base.

For You/Parfum Trouvé EdP 1 2006: Sweet and spicy like Indian cooking, yet a dewy rose keeps the whole fragrance cool. Once the woods flow through they stay focused and linear till dry down. The perfumes idea is to be a base/dry down.

Spiritus/Land EdP 2 2006: Ahhhh, new incense sticks, soap and spices. Clean without the well worn connotations of marine and citrus. Like the ghosts of Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime Spiritus/Land floats through and above the earth.

Green, Green, Green and Green EdP 3 2006: HA! Surprise, surprise this is a super green fragrance, yet through all the broken leaf and twig shines some soft focus florals and sweet herbs. A soaring green, like the birds smell at the top of trees.

  4. These are sound amazing. Since I can’t decide, I will mention the one I think I would like the least: green, because I dislike herbal. Probably fig second. I love fig but not that sharp throat-catching note many fig scents have. Love saffron, rose, spices, incense.

  6. I follow and greedily study your posts via email. Very hard to choose just one of these beautiful scents, but if I have to, A Quiet Morning. There are some occasions when I simply want to be soothed by soft spice and wood – warm and comforting as a fluffy down comforter on a chilly winter morning.

  10. Where have I been? Don’t know if I’ve ever registered this brand as something worth sniffing and I just love to meet a new line. I think that Postcard 2017 sounds best, but I’m crap at reading notes so I want to try them all. I follow via RSS. Thanks!

  14. Spiritus / Land – reading the notes and reviews on Fragrantica, this one really speaks to me. I love any scent with a smoky aspect – smokiness can be such an adaptable thing. It can invoke space, airiness, the rougher aspects of the natural world; or it can be cosy and terribly human, pulling you in and comforting you with its closeness.

  15. Hi Portia, thank you so much for another lovely giveaway. I follow by email.
    I would love to try Shanti Shanti, not only for the notes, which sounds fabulous for someone who is a relatively new rose fanatic, but also for the beautiful name. Shanti – peace and rest. What a wonderful word that is.

    A Quiet Morning holds the most interest for me, (although they all sound wonderful). Saffron – Yeah! It always makes me happy and there are not a lot of scents that utilize it well. This one sounds amazing.

  37. New Study/Postcard interests me a lot because I love a good fig fragrance. I’ve tried Shanti Shanti from them and loved it.
    I also noticed that it’s been almost 10 years since they released a new fragrance. All the more reason to be excited about their new release.

  38. I don’t know how it happened but I haven’t heard about this brand… I’m a bad perfumista. In my defense I promise to try to get them for testing, especially the one, for which you got a back-up bottle (I’m impressed!)
