Tender

Tender by Miller Harris is a highly individual floral oriental with a uniquely inky opening that gives way to a soft, layered resonance of hyacinth, tulip, rose, saffron, and warm woods. The scent is notably intimate and lingers close to the skin, with moderate longevity and sillage that isn't pronounced but is consistently noticeable throughout the day. Its strength lies not in projection but in transparency and quiet depth — an olfactory echo of a dewy spring garden veiled in incense and musk. The ink note remains central, creating a mechanical, slightly metallic freshness that prevents the fragrance from being overly sweet or floral. Over time, it evolves into a warm, velvety dry down reminiscent of powdered vanilla, amber, and faint leather, evoking the soft intimacy of a well-loved book or a quiet winter afternoon. While some experience it as a deeply feminine, dewy floral effect, others perceive the leather and saffron as unisex anchors, giving it a likeable, enigmatic character.
