Conjuring the inky blue-black of clouds heavy with rain and the heightened sense of expectancy before a thunderstorm, this fragrance from Miller Harris is richly suggestive of tropical showers and the balmy climate of a far away island. Top notes of bergamot from Italy, tangerine, lavender and a hint of blé absolute (wheat) refresh the heart of wet, white flowers. The centrepiece is a tropical accord of ylang ylang absolute from the Comoro islands, framed by Egyptian cassie absolute, jasmine absolute and Tunisian orange flower. The warm and sensual base is finally revealed with vetiver bourbon and vanilla bourbon which take their name from their country of origin, the Ile de Bourbon, an old, forgotten name for the Island of Réunion.
