Fresh · Citrus · Floral
Miller Harris Secret Gardenia is a fresh, floral unisex scent that carries the brightness of yuzu and bergamot into gardenia and jasmine.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overpowering. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.
It opens with yuzu, nashi pear and bergamot, bright and citrusy. The heart brings together gardenia, ylang-ylang, jasmine and violet, with green and powdery shades softening the floral core. In the base, sandalwood, cedarwood and musk settle it into a woody, creamy, slightly sweet finish. Pierre de Velay Les Clochettes du Bonheur and Chloé Innocence have a close profile.
