British niche line Miller Harris has launched Hydra Figue, a new aquatic woody citrus fragrance.
The scent of the artist’s idyll. Journey, to a Greek Bohemian paradise. A complex woody, citrus and marine fragrance combining the fruit of the fig with sea salt, Greek saffron and upcycled oakwood.
***
A balanced, woody, citrus and marine fragrance carefully created to capture the organic spirit, wild beauty and slow pace of the Greek Island, Hydra. A nirvana for the senses, the fragrance opens with a fresh citrus note of cedrat and lemon combined with an exquisite spicy touch of Greek saffron and a unique Ouzo accord.
Beguiling white tuberose and Mirabilis Jalapa add a tranquil character while a velvet musk caresses the elegant woody notes of sandalwood, ambroxan and upcycled oakwood, for a rich and unforgettable trail.
The oakwood is extracted through our UpCycled initiative, from pre-used wine barrels. Up-cycled Hydrolat Sage, a by-product in the extraction of oil from sage, brings a gentle aromatic freshness, paying homage to the long-treasured natural springs of the island.
Additional notes include bergamot, cardamom, ginger, marine accord, benzoin, amber and vanilla.
Miller Harris Hydra Figue is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Thank you Robin, it sounds interesting but a little tired of seeing ambroxan in so many new frags, Miller Harris is certainly active, I enjoyed Jessica’s post about the house.
LOL! Ambroxan is certainly listed quite a bit…especially when it comes to marketing. As a hobbyist perfumer, I’ve learned that this molecule is in a lot (most) of scents and has been for years and years. These days, publicly listing “Ambroxan” as an ingredient has become a marketing trend and everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon.
I hope Jessica will review this one too! I do like fig but marine notes is even more of a put off to me than ambroxan.
Sullapelle is right that many, many, many scents that don’t list ambroxan do have ambroxan. Ditto with iso e super which is sometimes listed but has not become as “fashionable” as ambroxan for a molecule name.
