Powdered Veil is one of my most repurchased perfumes from Miller Harris, it is a modern nod to old school Hollywood glamour. This Eau de Parfum is rich, fresh, sexy and warm all in one. Miller Harris describes this scent as,
‘Delicately powdery and sweetly resinous, amber is the definitive oriental accord and, in Powdered Veil, it is given a nuanced and translucent air. The sparkling freshness of spicy pink pepper flirts with a twist of rosy geranium. A sensuous orchid accord provides a fragile and haunting floralcy to the heart, combined with transparent florals and the luminous freshness of hedione. A rich and radiant lasting impression of soft powder is created through the combination of amber, vanilla Bourbon and musk, where a sensual and animalic vibration of labdanum combines with sandalwood to create intimacy and warmth.’
They have recently changed the packaging from the classic and quite iconic all solid pink bottle to a new classic glass bottle, but I am pleased to say the fragrance is still the same, so don’t panic
- Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Rhubarb, Geranium
- Heart Notes: Floral, Hedione, Orchid
- Base Notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Amber, Labdanum, Bourbon Vanilla, Cashmeran
What do you think of the updated packaging? I did like the powdered pink bottle, it had a beautifully minimal, feminine edge. The soft matte finish bottle paired with gold embossed lettering felt effortlessly modern, sleek, and quietly glamorous. The new bottle still has that signature luxurious Miller Harris aesthetic, the weighty, soft squared edged bottle and the gold embossed M.H lid.
The new label is very minimal and has a slight floral raised design that is pretty and classic. This bottle is elegant, understated and has a more fresh feel to it. I do miss the pink bottle, but the new bottle still looks fabulous and luxurious on my vanity. Let me know which design you prefer.
It is always difficult to describe and convey a fragrance just with words as scent is deeply personal and experienced differently by everyone. So, I’d strongly encourage you to visit your nearest Miller Harris retailer and explore their collection for yourself. They have such an extensive and beautifully curated range, and I know you will find a fragrance that you will love.
