Hidden on the Rooftops

I do not experience this as a sweet or heavily floral scent; rather, it is initially sharp and herbal as the bergamot and violet leaf make their entrance, and a slight citrus burst, and as it dries down it develops a wonderfully airy and somewhat green fragrance in which, on my skin, I catch wafts of slight sweetness reminiscent of the scent of honeysuckle in the breeze. I don't smell any rose in this personally, or any heavy honey scent -- what I would describe as honeysuckle expresses the scent more accurately for me. Pollen. Wild flowers, not the kind that have an obtrusive scent but a somewhat herbal secret smell. Leafy. I also continue to sense occasional tea notes throughout, both right away and throughout drydown. And as it dries down I get more of a strand of vetiver and the tiniest hint of sandalwood, but so tiny that I think I only notice it because I know it is there. Overall, a finely honed blend of multiple scents, where nothing overwhelms but all balance in a sort of delicious complexity. On me, this is a fragrance with a mood and ambience rather than a particular smell. I find it very hard to identify specific notes, and am left with a general impression of airiness, urban airiness -- the rooftop name is well chosen. It reminds me of London. London near King's Cross, where the canal meanders near busy traffic-laden streets and past open squares full of concrete, with secret patches where nature still thrives, and boxes perched high up on rooftops where bees nest and make honey from what urban materials they can find. I love the airiness of this fragrance and how the different components are blended with such a light touch that they give an impression of a certain type of place rather than any one particular smell winning out. It is a great scent for work as it isn't something that anyone would find offensive, even at close quarters, and I find the smell refreshing and calming.

An opening of fresh citrus, which briefly (thankfully!) gives way to a Earl Grey Tea note, with a touch of angelica and whisper of clary sage that gives a lightly green, herbal impression. From here it morphes into a honeyed wood, which remains but allows the floral aspects to come forward, with the gentle breeze of violet leaf. Finally the musk quietly ties all of the elements together. As I have found with all Miller Harris fragrances, the notes dance back and forth, shape-shifting so that notes you thought had past, briefly take centre stage again. Poetic, calming, grounding. Perfectly blended, unisex and unique.This is not necessarily a fragrance that will get get you noticed, she's not looking for attention. It's the quitest fragrance in the Forage range. It's a personal olfactory experience, that aims to soothe the wearer in a hazy bubble of tranquil bliss. Mission accomplished ❤️

I received this sample in addition to a few other Miller Harris samples (ordered from their website as I was curious after hearing good things from a friend). This was the first one I tried and oh my gosh I am in LOVE. Initially, it's very fruity with the bergamot and red berries standing out to me but it quickly dries down to a nice, slightly floral herby perfume. I love it in its subtlety and I love that I can really smell the violet but it's not done in an old-fashioned (read: grandma soap) way. My only complaint is that it lasts hardly any time at all on me. I've never tried MH so I'm not sure if their longevity is usually pretty good or not but this is really not good at all on me. Could be my body chemistry but I'm so disappointed as I'd love for this heavenly scent to stick around. I guess I'll see how the others go when I try my other samples out.

I love this - am not sure why I sold the remaining half of the bottle I have it lasts so well, is uplifting, and perfectly unisex, perfect for spring and summer. I really get the underlying note of honey. Beautiful

A wonderful, airy, unisex scent. It has so many diverse notes that come together to create a fresh almost soapy floral fragrance. Not sweet but more herbal. I'm testing this in a humid, 16 degree room and it's very pleasant. It lifts your mood. It is for me a modern, ageless scent. Not bad sillage in this warm room. With time you become more aware of the base notes but it doesn't really evolve that much on me. If you want to buy a classy, affordable, easy to wear, anytime scent for your Partner then you can't really go far wrong with this beauty.
