Niche line Miller et Bertaux has introduced Oh, ooOoh ...oh (mist, wood, wind and guitar):
Oh, ooOoh ...oh from Miller et Bertaux is an eau de parfum composed like a folk ballad in which the chords lead us along the street.
In California, along the coasts.
A wood home in front of the sea barely visible.
A veil of fog.
A fire burning in the fireplace
A gin tonic
The smell of withered grass
Around the huge, US nature
Artemisia bushes, juniper tree
The big red trees, the sequoias.
Down there, beyond the plain, spirals of sacred smokes rise from an Indian camp.
The night smells of bitter orange flowersOh, ooOoh …oh
A voice arises. That of a free cowboy, a poet.
With a stone he carved a heart on the bark of a cedar treeOh, ooOoh …oh
A perfume of wind, wood, fog and guitarOh, ooOoh …oh
Folk, natural and sexy
Miller et Bertaux Oh, ooOoh ...oh is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, and can be found now at First in Fragrance in Germany, €94.

Lol, LooOol … lol
LOL!
Excellent!
Ha!
Where is a music video when you need one?
Oh, ooOoh …oh!
Exactly!
Do you think you’re actually driving niche creation now? This must have been created purposefully for the Prix Eau Faux. Mist, wood, wind and guitar? The Indian Camp? Noone will top this. Is it April 1st? Have I been in a coma? Do I speak English? What language is this?
Ha! They want to win the gift certificate
ROTFL!! And so true!
With a name like that, I would expect it to smell like an owl
Dear God, this is insane.The name is just batcrap stupid, but they copy….. maybe it sounds better in French?
Does anyone else hear the Braves Tomahawk Chop when they see the title?
I do now! This is going to be in my head all day.
I’m having more fun reading this as a poem than a folk song…narrated by Brad Pitt.
Or William Shatner.
OH! (oooh oh) — I’d pay cash money to hear Shatner read this.
Has anyone else heard that intensely dour and mannered recording of T.S. Eliot reading “The Waste Land”? I think his intonation and delivery would be ideally suited to this ad copy. (Especially see lines 128-130: “O O O O that Shakespearean Rag / It’s so elegant / So intelligent”)
YES! Had that on LP, back in the day.
– I like your perfume, what’s it called?
– !!!
Even better, the band !!! comes out with a scent called ???.
Hmm, maybe legalizing pot isn’t such a good idea after all…
“spirals of sacred smoke” … mmm hmm.
Ah, yes — the Indian camps and cowboys and big red trees of California — and all around the huge, US nature …
I like the gin and tonic part…are there refills?
dear everyone on this website can anyone tell me if iti s possible to contact someone like private message i cant figure out how to do this thank you
fakejazz, there is no private message function as far as I’m aware.
That’s correct…no messaging function.
This is quite possibly the daftest chunk of verbiage ever composed in the entire history of human endeavor.
(and I am speaking as someone who wrote a B.A. thesis on a book-length 18th-century poem written by an inhabitant of a London insane asylum; and then went to grad school to study experimental literature)
Oh, oh! Jubilate Agno? Someone should do a perfume called My Cat Jeoffrey — I’d wear that.
Yes, it was Jubilate Agno! And I would be a sucker for ANY Jeoffrey-themed products.
*bows reverently to you*

Ha! Quite unnecessary, I assure you.
If you look at the Miller et Bertaux line – they all have non-traditional names. What sets this fragrance apart is the inspiration – California/west coast Americana .. as opposed to eastern mysticism/spirituality.
I was in Paris last month and bumped into both of them at their store. Last year, I bought “close your eyes, and .. ” and its a contemplative fragrance for me. I was flummoxed when I realized that the two guys in the store WERE Miller and BErtaux – we chatted a good bit. They let me smell the fragrance and it was something quite special.
Yes, the copy is a bit quirk.. and easy to laugh at .. but if you go back and read their other ad copy – it strangely fits.
I’m in your camp – perhaps an Indian camp? – I love all the M&B fragrances, especially A quiet morning and Green green green & green, and so however ridiculous the copy is, this is a must-try for me.
Hmm.
Would the lighter flanker be Eau Oh OooOooh oh?
If they made if for clowns. . . Bozo Oohooh oh?
At a diner. . . cuppa Joe ohooh oh?
If Homer Simpson were the cover model, Oh DohOooh oh?
I’ve often wished for an emoticon of a Felix the Cat laugh – you know, the one where he’s leaning backwards holding both his hands over his belly. LOL!
Would Oh DohOooh oh smell like Duff beer?
With a hint of old couch!
Actually, I can’t quite scrub the image of Homer Simpson lounging in a field of flowers like a perfume model! Or maybe sauntering down a glass staircase to meet a tiger?
Or maybe he should perform the Brad Pitt Chanel monologue?
Ooo-ee-oo-aa-ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang.
You win.
I’m still too busy laughing to attempt a coherent comment. Thank you so much for this!

this must be the stupidest name ever!! predict a major fail and no sales based on their idiotic choice which will make them change it a few months down the line (hopefully).
Pillsbury Dough Boy likes the name..’ooooh ahhh oooh poppin’ fresh dough.’ Member those commericals? lol
The smell of wind, does wind smell? I mean unless you’ve eaten bad Mexican food?
Okay, I will henceforth be unable to think of this perfume name NOT being pronounced by the Doughboy. And I have a new appreciation for Uncle Serge’s restraint in naming Jeux de Peau.
