L'Air de Rien

Miller Harris · £140

A clear glass bottle of L'Air de Rien eau de parfum with a black cap and cream label.

Worth being NRY provisional

Musk and amber with earthy moss and dry vanilla, built to suggest old books, and it was made for Jane Birkin rather than for a focus group. It is the least conventionally pleasant scent in this category and the one most likely to be asked about. Owning it is a decision rather than a default, which at £140 for 100ml is the point of it.

For
Someone who wants a signature that is unmistakably theirs and does not mind it being odd.
Not for
Anyone who needs a fragrance to be safe in a meeting, because this is not.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
