The renowned British fragrance house, Miller Harris, is set to release a new creation titled Melody, which will become part of the Stories collection. This floral musk scent draws inspiration from Caleb Azumah Nelson's novel "Open Water," focusing on an evocative moment where the protagonist recalls the lingering essence of his lost love. With its intricate blend of ingredients and emotional resonance, Melody encapsulates fleeting yet profound memories through its aromatic layers.
Derived from a poignant scene in the novel, this fragrance tells a story of tender longing and quiet intimacy. As the character reflects, pulling on his hoodie, he encounters the ghostly presence of someone dear through scent—a sensory reminder that lingers even in absence. Such moments serve as the muse for Melody Eau de Parfum, weaving together themes of romance and nostalgia within each spritz.
At its core lies a luminous floral-green heart wrapped gently by white musk, creating an ethereal beauty reminiscent of modern relationships. Initial impressions come alive with fruity citrus top notes like blackcurrant and bergamot, transitioning into richer tones such as cashmere and vanilla before grounding itself firmly with cedarwood at the base. Supporting nuances include stem accords, basil, rose, and Ceylon tea, enhancing the overall complexity.
Moving forward, enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing this olfactory journey when Miller Harris Melody becomes available in 100ml Eau de Parfum format.
This launch marks another chapter in storytelling via scent, inviting wearers to explore their own narratives intertwined with memory and emotion. Through carefully selected components, Melody not only captures the essence of first love but also provides a canvas for personal interpretation, making it more than just a fragrance—it’s an experience waiting to unfold.
