Brighton Rock

It smells exactly how the name suggests it will; Stick of rock and sea air. This is my first Miller Harris fragrance and its gotten me wanting to look at the other offerings from this house. The name and concept were interesting since, I am a lover of all things nautical and coastal, not sure why, the idea of a warm sunny day in a coastal town just makes my soul feel soothed and happy. Since I A) know nowhere that stocks testers for MH fragrances and B) am not allowed to leave the house due to us being on a national lockdown, I ordered it blind, even better was I had scored a great deal on TK Maxx! The bottle for a start, feels satisfying to hold with its nice, smooth matte finish and a satisfyingly weighty cap. The atomiser produces a fine, delicate mist. As for the scent itself, its sweet, but not a sickly, cloying gourmand sweet, its more of a soft powdery sweetness not too disimilar to the sweetness in Guerlain Insolence, the magnolia and other florals blend together beautifully whilst the blood orange and salt help to keep it fresh and stop the overall composition from veering into a headache inducing syrupy sweet mess. The longevity is moderate and the silage is soft, like a sweet/salty musk, its quite an unusual scent, its cheerful and bright, future repurchase

This is sucha treat of a scent on my skin . i have fallen hard for this young easy going scent. im craving it often and it trills me to have it on. make ma almost giggle of joy. Perfect for springtime . I have only been wearing it in cooler climat (Norway) and it truly blooms and radiats soft uplifting sweet blooms around you. I havent realy smelle anything like this one . the notes are cleverly mixed. Not very unik perhaps in the sense of style. its just easy and blissfull to wear . The rose and sweetnotes blends so well with the salty note . Yes it is a bit playdoughy.but uplifting so . Not to waxy or sticky . just nice and different. The magnolia is a star in this one shines with all the other notes to truly sets the spring and uplifting mood. lily of the valley is mingled in not very pronounsed in this one , but i can sense it with the magnolia . Smelling from a distence its sweet intoxsicating. Get closer and you get a slightly more spiced up feel asweel. not as in spice from food but as in Floral . Im very happy to have a bottle and will use this to brighten up my days .

This is an interesting scent. The opening is very sweet, rosy and fruity with salty twist. I couldnt resist trying it. Gradually the magnolia and other flowers appear. The sweetness eases off a bit. I am thankful for that. The drydown is a slightly sweet, musky magnolia and to be honest Im not very keen. Looking at the list of notes it would be easy to imagine it is one of these typical mainstream sickly sweet confections. It is thankfully not. If BR hadnt changed into a musky magnolia scent then I would have snapped up a bottle. Having said that I think this one is going to fly off the shelves. Slightly sweet musky florals seem popular with Brit gals. Ladylike but not mainstream. A touch of the unique about it. Very MH. Its pretty warm today and sadly BR doesnt hang around that long on me or have much sillage. Both moderate at a stretch

I really wanted to like this -- the notes sound intriguing and I love almost everything from Miller Harris. I just can't get in to it. The salty note is way too strong, with a really pronounced Playdoh smell. I was hoping for more of a crisp ocean scent, but it is not that at all. The other floral notes blend together in to something generic that reminds me of scented aerosol hairspray in the 90s. That's all I get: hairspray and playdoh. It's not offensive, I wouldn't mind sitting next to someone wearing it, but it is not delightful either. I definitely do not crave it or find myself reaching for it. A strong "meh" from me.

This smells like perfume mixed with gummi bears - extremely sweet and fruity. I don't hate this, but I do find it strange. It's definitely not a fragrance to wear to a professional setting, and I wouldn't wear it to a formal setting, either.
