British niche line Miller Harris has launched Legato, a new gourmand addition to the brand's Stories collection.
Inspired by the electric intimacy of a passage of Caleb Azumah Nelson’s 'Open Water', Legato Eau de Parfum evokes the heat of stolen moments on a London concourse, where hands explore, breaths quicken, and parting only amplifies the longing. Delectable and alluring, Legato blends the sensuality of vanilla with the intimate depth of musk, wrapping you in a seductive embrace that mirrors the city’s raw passion and untamed rhythm.
Juicy cherry opens the scent with a burst of ripe temptation alongside a note of rum, melting into golden amber and a high concentration of rich Bourbon Vanilla Absolute sourced at the highest grade. As the fragrance deepens, whispers of musk unfurl, sensual and soft, leaving a trail that clings to the skin like memory both lingering and elusive.
“At the heart, I placed a radiant Bourbon Vanilla Absolute, elegant, gourmand and utterly addictive. Around it, I layered Benzoin Pure Jungle Essence to amplify its warmth with caramel and spicy facets, giving depth and texture. I used an iconic ingredient of the perfumery twisted by technology to capture the perfect essence of nature.To echo the boozy richness of vanilla, I added Rum Pure Jungle Essence, smoothed with the refined fruitiness of Plum Nat Neo Jungle Essence. While, an animalic musk and Sublimolide bring a sensual, cozy warmth, wrapping the fragrance in a soft, seductive embrace. To highlight vanilla’s hidden floral soul, I chose Mugane, a Mane captive, while Orcanox adds a mineral, modern amber signature. Sustainably sourced, crafted with cutting-edge technology — this is vanilla as I imagine it: bold, colourful, and full of character.” — perfumer Mathieu Nardin
Additional notes include sandalwood and ambrettolide.
Miller Harris Legato is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $245.
