Miller Harris La Pluie was launched in 2011, created by Lyn Harris. A floral with notes of wheat, lavender, tangerine, bergamot, ylang, white flower, jasmine, African orange flower, cassia bourbon, vanilla and vetiver.
Fragrantica - "What does smells the rain? Maybe La Pluie Miller Harris. La Pluie means rain in french. Here it is summer rain, gentle & floral. To me thus smells a lot flowers after the rain. I must say also that the scent has a smooth flowing sounding : bergamot, fresh Provence lavander and citrus notes gives an ozony airyness. And an accord of wheat creates summer warmth and loveliness.
it's like lying in a field in high wheat where near the ground grow mellow strawberries, sage and camomiles. And you inhale the smell of wheat, wildflowers and of the ozone pre-rain wind.
It smells expensive and extremely natural. "
Fragrantica - "This is as near as you can get to En Passant without BEING En Passant - insofar as it is undeniably French and evocative, yet completely devoid of the darling lilac note which makes En Passant so wonderful. YET .... it IS wonderful in it's own right, like when you have two beautiful ladies wearing the same coat, and when both unbutton, they are wearing the same dress underneath, yet in different pastel colours. La Pluie is damp. It is spring in a bottle, it's my home village where spring takes on an amazing meaning every time it comes around in it's unfettered jubilance, cartwheeling down the back streets onto the Marsh, dodging the cows heavy with calf who gaze at you with eyes which convey a detached interest matched only by that patch of lovely grass over....there. Somewhere the is a photograph my son took of me, sitting on a verdant bank on said marsh, with Hawthorn trees shimmering their new leaves which the horses love to delicately nibble from the branches. I am wearing pastel pistchio green, ivory and taupe and a pair of pink and white rabbit ears. That is La Pluie. Joyful, welcoming, floral, moist, delighted, verdant, arms spread wide to the sky to welcome the begin-again. Love it."
Fragrantica - "I decided to bring my bottle of La Pluie to work, thinking this would be the perfect scent for office: Soft, remarkably energising and with moderate sillage and longevity. It turns out to have been a brilliant move, since I have never received so many compliments ever. Just the last couple of days, colleagues have said things like "I followed your trail of scent down the corridor; it is absolutely amazing", and "What's that skin lotion you're using? It is so lovely!"
Fragrantica - "Donning La pluie in a rainy and grey morning, perhaps, is the most sensual experience one can have. Green, very green opening of ylang ylang then a dash of warm vanilla, yet won't suppress the delicate dry vetiver. Imagine waking up in the heart of a rainy tropical jungle, seeing mosaic of the blue and dark green atmosphere under the old trees, hearing the water slightly dripping on the thatched roof, maybe thunder rumbling somewhere, smelling big rotten pieces of wood wafting in the humid air, and feeling the warmth of your beloved."
