Tomato plant, tomato leaves, tomato tar caked on your fingers after you've spent hours picking bushels of tomatoes; the sky is blue and the sun is warm and the irrigation sprinklers are on full blast. Everything around you is green, green, green.

Winter is on its way out where I live, coughing its last cold breaths, and I'm wearing this to remind me that warm days are ahead.

It really smells like L'Ombre Dans L'eau, a really green, tart, and herbal rose. The tomato leaf is most prominent to my nose. I like this fragrance, but unfortunately, my husband really does not like like La Feuille. He says I smell like a candle. I'm not sure if that's because once we purchased the Baies candle from Diptyque as a gift for someone, and if that scent (same as L'Ombre Dans L'eau I believe) is still so strongly linked in his brain as a candle scent, even though we've never had it in our own home. And now I can't disassociate the two either...so I wouldn't purchase for myself, even though I love this scent profile.

I have a number of these green leafy-note Miller Harris fragrances to try now that the weather is warming up where I live, and so far I get the impression that they're not always vastly different from one another. Yeah, well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. They're unisex, probably leaning feminine. They're fresh--airy, sometimes a little watery (I don't mean watered down). They're fruity--some in a flat-out sour-citrusy way, others in a fuller, more exotic-fruit kind of way that pulls them towards the Mediterranean (and variously, partly depending on the degree of wateriness, reminds me of Hermès Un Jardin en Méditerranée or Un Jardin sur le Nil). And they have plenty of green facets of a kind that, I realise from reading Fragrantica comments, is more than enough to repel many people who don't love green scents, even though many of the rest of us can't get enough of this stuff. For instance, neither the tomato leaf nor the galbanum here is at all coarse or piercing to my nose, but I would advise anyone who doesn't categorically love green fragrances to think twice before committing to any of these MH ones, if only because so many people on here seem to come to them with this or that expectation that turns out to be way off the mark. That said, some of these are available in small-bottle format from discounters--why I have so many of them--and in that context they are absolutely worth a shot.

Of the green MH frags I have tried so far, this is probably the biggest hitter. It's very nicely blended, well integrated. Its performance is good for the genre, though with this kind of (light) fragrance I'd always recommend applying in such a way as to get some on clothes in order to boost the longevity. I do see some similarity to Diptyque L'Ombre dans l'Eau, mostly in terms of the watery-garden aspect, but this is neither rose forward nor anywhere near as gothic--if that's the word we're using--as the Diptyque. This is more like a warm, sunny day in a lush Mediterranean garden with a river or stream not far away and with some kind of fairly full-smelling citrus or figgy fruit on the trees.

Somehow this turned into a more grown up version of BBW’s Cucumber Melon from the 1990s once it hit my skin. Even there there’s no melon in here, I got a rich, ripe melon along with a nice powdery rose and some citrus for good measure. It’s also very strong- four or five sprays last over twelve hours! When I first tried this out, I sprayed too much and I got a headache, so habitual oversprayers should be careful with this one.

On me the tomato leaf is the main smell on all stages of development, which I love, I was actually looking for a thick green smell. It's strong and lasts a long time, the smell is a lot close to a pelargonium or a geranium leaf smell than a tomato, even better!

I've been trying to find a scent that captures Eris Green Spell's perfect balance of tomato leaf and fruit that lasts longer than 30 minutes. This comes close, so long as I spray it on fabric.

On clothes, the tomato leaf stays dominant, with just enough of the floral and fruit notes coming through keeping it from being astringent. On skin, however, the citrus and sweet notes eventually become more prominent, tilting the balance away from the tomato leaf. For some people that might be a good thing, but since tomato leaf is my favorite note, it was a downside. Still, on clothing this is very, very good.

Edit: I've brought this out again now that it's warming up outside and there's something in the drydown that doesn't sit right with me. It's almost yeasty? I can't describe it better than that, but I don't like it.

A mixture of tomato leaf and rose on oakmoss base.chypre-floral scent.
Beautiful and safe but not unique.
It is rather spring scent and leans more feminin.

I was gifted a travel spray about 2 years ago and was struck by the herbaceous tomato plant smell. I treated this as a curiosity and mothballed it for 2 years until one hot summer day spent outside for the most part and I reached for it instead of my usual chypre(s). This unusual green stunner has now become my summer go to when it calls for a hot sunny day off playing in the water or spending the day outside.

I love Miller Harris and ordered a bunch of their fragrances. I blind bought this one, which was risky as the notes would indicate that it's not my usual fare. I don't tend to go for green scents; the notes made me skeptical.

Indeed, the tomato leaf is aggressively photorealistic at first. It reminds me of suffocatingly hot, sweaty summer days weeding the family vegetable garden, when the rich herbaceous smell of the tomato plants hangs heavy in the air. It isn't a refined or elegant smell.

However, within minutes, the bold tomato leaf is joined by a singular blend of high-quality green notes, providing the main note with exactly the accompaniment it needs. It is masterfully done, turning my skepticism and dislike of a certain note into appreciation and admiration of how such a note can be presented. Throughout the scent's lifespan (which is very long-lasting) it maintains its tomato leaf heart, though it is strangely beautiful within the overall composition. I'm still figuring out this unique, fascinating scent.

If you love realistic, brilliantly made green scents, this is a must-try.

TenderCuriosity

番茄叶的刺激绿意很快与黑加仑融合成好闻的酸凉,接下来是红浆果营造出的熟透的杏子味(某些时刻又有些像桃子),果肉的软甜和果皮的酸涩,甚至连果皮细腻的绒毛质感都表现出来了。无花果的奶感增添了杏子果肉略粉质的口感。总体来说是清新酸香的绿意加上杏子的香甜可口,后调会透出一点苔藓的幽幽凉意。
适用季节/场景:仲春至仲夏,早午餐/下午茶,公园草坪野餐,或者干脆去果园采摘杏子

This is so well done, but also a bit puzzling. Vegetal, completely void of sweetness or the usual suspects of crowd-pleasing notes. It is so self-assured that I'm compelled to respect it. Initially, there is a blast of very realistic green notes as if I crushed crips tomato and blackcurrant leaves with my fingers. But there is also something in the base, possibly oakmoss, possibly something floral that grounds it and makes it interesting. There is slight bitterness due to peaking galbanum. To me, this is an equivalent of a high-quality, well-tailored white shirt, starched to perfection. It's not trendy, or loud, but neither boring nor dated.

The bottle's proportions are nice and it came in a large book-like box keeping it in theme of the "Perfumer's Library". In addition to the front printed label, there is a silver graphic on the back. The glass quality is slightly disappointing as you can see the seams. Nonetheless, it's the type of bottle that looks modern and elegant.

Fresh and green and a little fruitier than I was expecting. It isn’t listed in the notes here but on their website MH mention blackcurrants and berries - they’re subtle and more backgrounded, but they’re definitely there. Definite tomato leaf but for me there’s a creaminess to this that isn’t quite straight greenhouse. It’s neither quite wild enough to threaten some of my favourite scents that have that vibe nor pretty enough to displace my prettier favourites. I like it but I don’t think I’d buy the full bottle considering the price. I’ll enjoy my sample, though!

I couldn't bring myself to like it as much as I wish I could. It's got great sillage and lasting power BUT it just is too green in the sense that it's almost like a "room spray" kind of scent. I just can't seem to like it on me. Super green and like others said, no floral just leaves. Unique though! I feel like you have to be a certain kind of character to pull this off. Maybe hippy and into earthy stuff or someone who likes to read vintage books or someone who likes to add more greens to their leathery scents...hmmm if I have to picture the perfect person to wear this. Also cos of my sensitive skin, I've been meaning to cut down my fragrance collection so I had to let this one go as I don't see myself picking this as one of my top scents.

Bluebirdpsyche

A divergence. Warm to cool—clean, crisp, a pendulum, swirling leaves, and crushed underfoot— tomato leaves n red berries n black currant n juicy figs...snapped stems....lush ivy, milky sap and earthy moss... aromatic, fresh, bittersweetness.

I love Miller Harris. This house has some weird sh*t, I know, but it’s REAL. Olfactively alive and sensory.

Le parfum c'est chic

Another beautiful and unique scent by the talented Lyn Harris. It's the greeniest scent I ever smell. No flowers in it. Only leaves. A bouquet of crush leaves (tomato, fig, ivy).

Enduring love at first sniff. I get flashbacks to when I was a child and picked red currants from the bushes at the back of our garden. It's an earthy green scent, berries, wood, grass, the cooling air of an early summer evening… there's just no way I can describe this objectively, apologies. It's such an awesome fragrance, completely transporting. Cinematic. I don't wear it too often, afraid that the deep feelings it evokes will somehow fade or become less special. If I had a signature scent it'd be this. Just beautiful.

La Feuille is milky floral from the line. When I tried it first time I suddenly remembered the fig perfumes but it doesn't contains fig fruit I think so. İt's open the bright notes something like grapefruit and then you can sniff the milky notes among the notes. I applied it in the morning and I could feel it until the night. I like that miller harris's collection but not love to me except l'air de rien and fleur de sel. Maybe I found another love in the line.

I am bit puzzled by this range. The presentation (online), the packaging and the pricing leads one to expect something quite unusual, groundbreaking, niche de niche. If I understood correctly, this is meant to be a limited distribution range that allows the perfumer a greater degree of freedom for her creativity. The packaging is very high quality, the entire design concept is good - bottle, box, little booklet. I like the retro simplicity of the whole idea.
La Feuille starts with an original and very pleasant green, slightly bitter (ivy?) smell lightened by a fruity, tart/sweet accord. This stage completely won me over and I bought the bottle (one never learns...). I tried it on skin and it worked really well. However, half an hour later a fruit accord takes over, something quite generic, forest berries, reminding me of the ubiquitous synthetic fruit accords in many things, but mostly in sweet female (teenage?) fragrances. I can't get the base, which is meant to be oakmoss and oak (which sound very promising).
This is listed in most places as unisex, in other (fewer) sources as a woman's fragrance. Once the fruit note develops, there is a bubble gum/pop kind of sweetness that identify this as a fragrance for young women.
I could be wrong about it, so I will try again later in the year when the weather is a bit cooler (it is meant to be embodying autumnal transitions) as it might not work well in very hot weather. And there were a few other MH fragrances that required a bit of work before I got to understand/like them, so not giving up hope yet.
