Black Datura

I agree with the user who said this fragrance is like a drug. Let me preface this by saying I hate bubblegum tuberose notes. Mancera’s velvet vanilla made me hate tuberose and I almost didn’t buy this fragrance because of everyone mentioning that the tuberose was prominent and that it did smell just a bit in the bubblegum direction but then they also all said how alluring and enchanting this was and with the hype around the moon flower I was like why not the moonstone is one of my birthstones so hopefully the moon flower will be a good fit for me. Man am I glad I took the leap because this was love at first sniff. It lasts on skin and wafts under the nose like a lingering temptress. It truly is like a drug and the odd part is that the tuberose is the most prominent note and it just kisses the sweetness of bubblegum without being too much. I think the saying factor is that the ylang brings the sweetness instead of it truly being a powdery bubblegum sweet that you usually get in heavily tuberose scents. This one is just enough in all the right areas like it’s just sweet enough. Just strong enough. Lingers just right to where it’s addicting instead of cloying to catch those narcotically delicious wafts of yourself. Like if this was any stronger/sweeter it would be cloying smelling myself because this scent does linger on you and you won’t go anosmic to it. As someone who usually stops smelling myself own fragrances while others can still smell and compliment me it’s quite a miracle for me to say like yea I smell this without sticking my nose right into my shirt or right up to my wrist. So far only few fragrances stick around for me to smell all day like that and those are Oud Bouquet, Oud satin mood, stricnina, and Ani.. well and now Black Datura but the surprising thing is.. black datura is the most airy.. I mean the others are overtly beast mode fragrances where you have to spray with caution but this one I feel like I can overspray a bit and be fine because it just adds to the alluring cloud of deliciousness around me. I’ve never had a fragrance this dark and tempting without being dense because this fragrance definitely isn’t thick/dense at all it’s airy but it pulls you in like a siren whispering promises to sailors. Personally I love the price because for 3.4oz it’s a great price for a phenomenal fragrance that lasts and teases the senses all day and this isn’t even an extrait. Actually more oils might make this dense and ruin some of the magic so it’s perfect as is. I usually prefer extraits but this performs better than a good chunk of extrait parfums that I own so trust when I say this is worth every penny. It’s actually worth much more in my opinion. The chic matte black bottle with gold plating is cute I think sometimes minimalistic is best and to me it looks great. I don’t think I have a single complaint here which is shocking because I’ve hated tuberose for years but just for this one singular fragrance I think this could be my signature scent. Granted I won’t ever commit to just one fragrance but it does feel like the most special easy reach fragrance that just speaks to me and this is one of few fragrances that I would repurchase over and over again. As much as I love my collection there’s very few bottles I’d actually run to buy a backup of because I can’t live without it and this is definitely on that list.. I’ve only had this fragrance for about a week and that’s how in love I am. So at the very least everyone needs a sample of this regardless of if you hate tuberose or not because I promise this one is special it’s seriously friggin special and addicting.

Rich, luxurious, addictive, deep, ambery, tuberose, ylang ylang and a good amount of spice in the opening. Black Datura is a great cold seasons floral. I am a huge tuberose and ylang ylang lover and warm, balsamic, resinous, ambery scent are some of my other favourites. So this is right up to my heart.. I am not familiar with datura flower but apparently is a night blooming white flower with an intoxicating, sweet, honeysuckle type of scent, which I think it is captured very well in this juice. It’s complex and develops into something bigger than most of others Miller Harris’s scents. This is a big bouquet of flowers, white and yellow, with fruity and spicy nuances and warmth from amber, myrrh, incense with a musky base. My opinion is that Black Datura is very versatile and it will work all year long because of its multiple layers: floral, fruity, spicy, ambery, resinous, musky.. Opening is very strong but settles into a powdery, slightly bittersweet floral. Long lasting but not very loud on sillage, so it won’t suffocate anybody if worn when it’s scorching hot outside. Totally worth adding to my collection. It’s a different, unique type of tuberose scent! Don’t think I’ve any white floral fitting so well for fall and winter.

Black datura was love at first sniff. Smells like a romantic date in a bottle. Bouquet of tuberose and lilies are in every room of a stately manor. The scent of them mingling with the scent of fresh strawberries and champagne that will be used for the final seduction. The smell of desire. Resinous rich warm spicy woody and sexy black datura is the perfume of the femme fatal or the man on a mission if you know what I mean. This white floral is rare because it is truly unisex. Would smell great on either gender. The vetiver and white cedar in the base (not listed above but are very noticeable) keep this in unisex territory. This is the best thing I have smelled from miller Harris in quite a while. I have been disappointed in some of the new fragrances from this house but black datura has restored my faith. If u love drop dead sexy unisex white florals they don't get better than this. Full bottle worthy. Rich luxurious. Decadence in a bottle. Edit: 11/2/23. This would be a lovely Christmas white floral or a beautiful one for Easter. Resinous and woody white lilies. The white lilies of the Madonna Holy yet seductive.

Fruiti floral... I don't know why that i got attached to this blend right away! i've been told once by a fellow colleague who was focusing on the fragrances i wear for few years that i lean now (that was 3 years ago) towards floral and roses blends! and when i reviewed now that love blends that i adore the most (Flux de Fleur, & Indolis by Areej Le Doré, Moonbloom by Hiram, Tinta Roja & Amalia Fueguia, Innuendo Roja) i realized why i liked "Black Datura"! it is a juicy floral with that ylang plummy juiced out blend with bit of hazy resin, tuberose, jasmin sambac, & wet "beloved" ambergris. Black datura is for those who seeks dark juicy floral blends. Beautiful.

What a mesmerising scent....I very randomly bought a decant of this, with little to no expectations. The moment I sprayed it on I felt a barrage of emotions hahah it’s so weird yet beautiful, sexy and dark...almost witchy and so I instantly bought a full bottle and haven’t stopped using it since. Datura is a poisonous plant, and this perfume does a fantastic job of smelling poisonous. The tuberose is sweet and the ylang ylang brings a slightly custardy feel to the resinous ambery base. Like a bewitched purple tincture calling you to drink it, and immediately succumb to your death. This was my last purchase of 2024 and I absolutely love love love it.
