In shadows deep, where blooms entwine, Naughty flowers weave a divine tale.

Within the boundless canvas of the natural world, certain flowers captivate us with their exquisite beauty and irresistible fragrances, pulling us into an enchanting embrace.

We tend to think of flowers as positive representing beauty, love, and purity. However, that’s not always the case. There are flowers, in the language of blooms that hold a darker and more mysterious secret. These are the flowers, whose attractiveness and allure hide a poison reminding us of the enigmatic depths of nature. Among these blossoms lies the Datura flower, a symbol of seductive charm and perilous qualities. Its petals unfold gracefully under moonlight earning it names throughout history such, as Moonflower, Devil’s Trumpet and Hell’s Bells.

From this intriguing dichotomy, Miller Harris drew inspiration. In a world brimming with good flowers, the perfumers chose to explore the shaded allure of the Datura, crafting a fragrance that captures the essence of its dangerous beauty. It was a bold choice, delving into the mysterious world of naughty flowers to create an olfactory masterpiece that would intrigue and captivate.

The process of translating the essence of Datura into a fragrance was a meticulous art. The perfumers at Miller Harris embarked on a delicate sway between danger and seduction. The starting point was the mesmerising Datura, a beautiful and abundant flower yet deadly in high doses. This duality became the focal point, a contrast of black and white, danger and seduction, elegantly captured within the perfume.

Black Datura unfolds with a twirl of contrasts, opening with fresh notes of soft spice of incense and pink peppercorn that give way to the seductive allure of white flowers. The voluptuous tuberose, with its sensual and dangerous facets, plays a pivotal role, accentuated by sophisticated hints of dark woods. This composition evokes a sense of mystery, akin to a sultry dance in the dark, illuminated only by the flickering glow of firelight from embers nestled in a marble fireplace.

The heart of Black Datura is an alluring blend of tuberose, ylang-ylang, and baie rose, enveloped in musks, balsams, and the hypnotic white lily. It transports the wearer into the night, into a city full of possibilities, echoing the sentiments of an evening that begins with a simple ride and no predetermined destination. This fragrance, like the night itself, this fragrance is shrouded in intrigue, leaving you feeling powerful and elegant, ready for the unfolding mysteries of the night.

Miller Harris, the luxury British fragrance house, has always been rooted in the natural world. With a commitment to environmental responsibility, the brand carefully sources its ingredients, blending precious botanicals in intricate ways to find richness in simplicity. In the case of Black Datura, this approach was instrumental in capturing the essence of the naughty flower without glorifying its danger.

In the hands of Miller Harris, the perilous allure of Datura finds its place in the world of fragrances, reminding us that even within the realm of beauty, there exists a captivating darkness. Black Datura is a testament to the intricate swing between danger and seduction, a fragrance that invites you to explore the enigmatic world of naughty flowers, where every petal conceals a story, and every scent carries a hint of mystery
