Nicole Miller

A supporting cast comprises this perfume to make it a complete success in its long enjoyable run. Its opening act of tuberose and aldehydes are strong and deflect from the actual outcome of this Nicole Miller. The ending act will surprise and delight you. Polar opposites and a change in mid-air make this fragrance one that’s a delight to bask in over and over again. You’ll find yourself reaching for it on a regular basis. You can inhale the literal change in this perfume as it morphs from a tuberose heavy-hitter to a warm honeyed-amber. It’s as if you’ve changed perfumes in mid-air suddenly with two distinctly different flairs. The initial top notes are straight full-blown tuberose, warm and inviting, surrounded by spices. The more you wear Nicole Miller, the more notes you seem to discern and discover. This is not a perfume that plays by the rules. This tuberose is beautiful-it’s flower-show worthy and lasts for a good hour at minimum through the dry down where it quietly slips into the background surrounded by other delicious notes. Mid-way, sweet jasmine, benzoin, woods and musk work their magic. The tuberose lets the sweet honeyed amber steal the show in full glory and dance the light fantastic for hours to come. This is where the true beauty of Nicole Miller wraps around you with more spices, vetiver, tonka bean and a faint hint of vanilla. A wonderful winter scent designed for snowy blustery days in front of the fireplace. I’ve reached for this over and over again this winter simply because it’s comforting, pleasing and so delicious. I so enjoy the way it changes and reveals so many different flavors. This perfume lasts until you take it off and others will notice and appreciate this frag on you-in other words-sillage is strong-so be gentle in application. Also a great layering perfume so use your imagination with your other vintage fumes. Change is wonderful. Change is unexpected. Some perfumes trip and stumble in their presentation, some remain linear, some twist and turn to reveal new sides you realize are suddenly appearing. Nicole Miller is one of those perfumes that will surprise you with its changing course. Take a trip with Nicole and experience the change in this perfume. It’s delightfully cozy.

I’m so totally transfixed by the beauty of this unique chypre fragrance. I never smelled Nicole Miller EDP until about 2 months ago. I was looking to expand my growing vintage aldehydic collection, and I blind bought my bottle of Nicole Miller from Amazon based on the notes and opinions of others only. I have to confess that the first couple of wear tests didn’t go so well. I was a bit surprised by its sweetness, which threw me off. We didn’t hit it off. Tonight while choosing my bedtime scent, I spotted her in the back corner of my perfume tray. Call it a guilt trip? I don’t know, but I put her nozzle to my nose and inhaled deeply. The fruits were so beautiful and I could literally envision honey drizzled all over them. The aroma was absolutely glorious! I had to spray the back of my hand and the aldehydes burst fully through the fruity notes giving them such beautiful intensity. The bodacious sweet rose came waltzing in on cue with the ever harsh red carnation and lackadaisical blue Iris. The whole scent profile bloomed like a carefully crafted ballet. Absolutely magical. This fragrance was created in the 90’s when aldehydes were being used much less in the creative process of perfumes but still had a heavy load of notes! I love the fact that my dear husband never complains when I overspray my aldehydic darlings. It will indeed be sweetest dreams for me tonight! Heavenly! Will definitely need to buy a backup bottle of this peachy-gold beauty as she’s getting harder to find! Don’t miss out!

I have been "on the fence" about this fragrance, it sounded great, but I couldn't find a tester and no one had reviewed it. While at the mall I found a tester at a perfume store and tried it. Even my husband, who isn't crazy about perfume liked it. It starts out like violets to me, though there are no violet notes listed, just like Jolie Madame. I don't know why I have been smelling violets lately. After a few minutes the beautiful floral heart comes out,rose,jasmine,and carnation sweetened by honey. It is warm, sensual, and luscious. After awhile you can smell the amber,sandalwood,and vanilla, still slightly sweetened by the honey. To me it smells a lot like Lancome's Poem, though not as strong. Nicole seems to last a good while as do most floral orientals, and has good silage. It is certainly too warm and sweet for hot weather,but perfect for fall/winter. It is also more of a perfume I will wear the the evening. It is perfect for a romantic or more formal occasion. I have been seeing it at discount stores lately for bargain prices as well as online. Since I am partial to floral orientals and the price is right I bought it. If you like Poem by Lancome and do not want to pay that much money,or if you like honey as a note, you should try Nicole Miller by Nicole Miller. It is one of those lost and under appreciated perfumes that are floating around out there, soft,warm and endearing.

Im love this one if im find it one more time im will buy it back faster then fast.In a Perfumestore not online choop. Its real perfume have it all im can wish.All notes is perfekt mixed up in a sweet old lady type alike perfume. No soap here its delicate. Soft sweetness in the end after a long day exact like Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps and Givenchy Ange ou Demon sweetness after a long day, for exampel. Think ppl. around me think this one is too owerpowdwering but im not care.. It is something ower this sweet and soft not menny perfume end the day so perfekt intoo the night. It is special and menny would not like this one tray it before a buy. The bottle is beautiful. One of my missing one!

Wear it lightly, others will swoon. I bought this at Belk Dept store when it first came out in the 90's. Back then I didn't have too many from the "Dept Store", but I loved it, & I always got compliments on it. I bought it again a few yrs ago for 12.99 at TJMaxx. Still have it & it still smells the same. To make it more of a "2025" Perfume, just wear a bit, don't overdo it, or you will get weird looks, it's a powerhouse. I never really **KNEW** what it smelled like, or how to describe it, but now I see why. There's a bit of everything in this, but I do not have anything else in my collection that smells like this. She's pretty!

This was actually my JAM in 93. I loved it on & everyone around me loved the smell. I bought a bottle at TJ Maxx today, I don't think the formulation has changed a lot, but, it does smell like a cheap 90's perfume now. Have we evolved? Yes, we have. Are they using cheaper ingredients as well? Probably. I agree w/ the Mackie reference, that was never really my thing tho. Sharper & cheaper smelling. This was worth the 12.99 I spent. A trip down memory lane once in a while. In reference to the "barely there" reviews, One spray is a beast for days on me.

I’ve had my bottle for about 8 years; maybe have worn it twice. It’s kinda just stayed in my perfume drawer, left and forgotten. I pulled it out this morning, sprayed it on my wrist, and the first thing l thought of when l smelled is Tide Powder Detergent lol. It mellows down to a peachy, powdery smell that reminds me of Trésor. I’m going to wear it out today and see how it goes; it’s cold and rainy so hopefully it won’t be too potent lol.

This fragrance is sweeter than others I enjoy in summer but I just love it. Reminiscent of 80's perfume but I don't get brashness only the confidence of a well constructed perfume. Great staying power even in sultry weather. Goes on quite strong and sweet in the morning but wears beautifully throughout the day, settling into a warm, musky floral by the evening. A great find, thanks to Fragrantica reviewers.

Picked this up after reading the reviews. When I first sprayed it on I didn't like it but after only a few seconds it smelled really nice. Honey and flowers and then a powder and soft musk dry down. I really love this fragrance. Very feminine and unique. It's has a little chanel no 5 vibe to it but a little sweeter so, it's a pretty good substitute if you don't want to cough up the money for chanel.

thanks jillzilla for the sample.i thought this was classed as fruity.i can smellfresh,ripe juicy peaches,the refreshing fragrance of oranges,and a big round purple plum.a little later it morphs into a beautiful orchid,tuberose scent that remains a good long time.finally as my day winds down,i can almost tastethe vanilla which i love ,with just a gentle touch of amber and musk.a true joy to wear.

not the most beautiful perfume in my collection but the one of the only ones i actually crave like, i will get out of bed to put this on and i often put waaay too much on it has a saltiness that may be the product of strong honey note mixed with strong peach note it's also present in rare gold by avon i want to stock up on this one love it

First I need to restock. Love it, so does my mom! Shes able to tolerate even with allergies. I enjoy it when I wear. Leaves you very sweet and powdery. It has all the right blends of what I like and is timeless. Its for any age. This smells nothing like Nicole to me, I like this Nicole Miller the best.

NO SMELL at all. How hard i try i really smell nothing. So my bottle is expired or my nose isn't sensitive enough but this bottle ends in the bin. It's so non existent that i won't sell it either. Too pity because i love! The old fashioned power perfumes from the 80 and 90ties. 😞

It's a great perfume. It is in the same category as the sweet perfume Chloe Narcisse. Not that heavy, but they have a lot in common. Where some people might think Chloe Narcisse is really too much, this could be a good alternative.

I just love it, been using it since 1997 and its a fragrance you won't match with anything else. I like the way it "melts" and combines with my own chemistry. It's good to find it again :)

It's a wonderful, beautiful, glorious creation! So exquisitely feminine!

I was expecting more creamy smooth sweetness with some spice but there's nothing sweet at all. Its 48 farenheir so maybe this will work better in the hear. I smell the same things as burberry body in this. Its almost good but not quite. Ill try this and body again in warmer weather. It is truly identical to burberry body edp. So its been 80s and 90s fahrenheit. This performs even worse in the heat. Now its next to nothing detected. Just mosh up of old dusty faded notes that i can hardly smell. Its bad. I wish i was able to smell the original version. Something tells me that the perfume industry has found out that a certain way they made the old perfumes has caused cancers so thats why they absolutely had to reformulate the old power house perfumes and now nothing is made as good as it was made back in the day. So since no one has ever linked their disease to their perfume, they secretly changed formulas with no explanation to the public to avoid lawsuits. That is whats been whispering in the back of my mind for awhile now. I just went into my air conditioned part of the house and its 68 degrees farenheit. And now.... I get this softly sweet lightly soapy waft of peachy delightfulness! I did have to spray 3 times in the same spot and wait about 30 minutes but now im smelling the good stuff! There's a lil bit of honey to the sweet cloud and its pretty soap . the peach is light and not syrupy. This is actually really pretty ☺. Now that i found the sweet spot for this fragrance ill be wearing this when the weather permits.

This is a nice smelling fragrance. It reminds me of Sirene by Vicky Tiel. Even the lid on the bottle brings Sirene to mind. This is not a perfume I will grab that often, and I am the older lady mentioned by some reviewers ;-). I got a large bottle for a very good price so I cannot complain. I read one review that thought this one was similar to Coco by Chanel, not even close IMHO. Another thought it was close to Beautiful by Estee Lauder but nope, never going to come close to that one either. This is a unique fragrance to it's own self. Even though it reminds me of Sirene and a few other scents I have smelled, it is still in a class of it's own. I think I like this way better than Sirene, but not as much as Beautiful. It lasted about 4 to 5 hours on myself without totally disappearing. Not too bad for a less expensive scent. I think the bottle is just okay, with the bottom being it's best feature. The clouded lid takes away from the eye appeal of this little beauty. All in all, this is a useful, pleasant scent for a small amount of money. Too bad it is being discontinued. I think it would be best if they just revamped it's container and gave the scent an added boost of something to give it more lasting ability.

I remember the ads in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair back in the nineties, and I was always curious about it. The first thing that attracted me to it was the bottle. I though it looked pretty nice (now, not so much). I was lucky enough to stumble upon a couple of vintage bottles of this, and I decided I'd give it a try. I figured if I didn't like it, I could always use it as room freshener with no regrets (they were ridiculously cheap). Boy, was this a nice surprise! At first, it reminded me of Lancôme's Pôeme and a little bit of Fred Hayman's 273 (love them both). A gorgeous fragrance that is way above its price range. Its opening is a little loud and may turn some people away, but a few minutes later, this beauty comes to life. Warm, honeyed tuberose and ylang-ylang make this fragrance like sunshine on a winter day. This is a (high quality) rather complex floral with a fantastic ambery drydown. I am really very happy I decided to buy it. Needless to say, another successful blind-buy!

I received a sample from a generous fragrantica member. Thanks, Malegria. Oh my, this is the most beautiful soft scent. Opening is fresh, warm juicy peaches and plums (like they were just picked off the tree on a hot day)with aldehydes and green notes. Then it develops into a bouquet of warm spicy flowers (carnations, iris, roses) dipped in honey. There's nothing too sweet about this, though. It's fresh, juicy and a little spicy - a warm fresh, instead of a cool fresh. The sweet vanilla dry down lasts a long time - 4-5 hours. Intoxicating! ETA: I found Nicole Miller to be quite similar to Gucci Accenti, too. It has the same kind of blend of spices and florals and a warm sweet dry-down. I'm so glad I found a bottle of this at a good price...
