Violet Ida EdP by Miller Harris (50ml - £85, 100ml - £115) is inspired by Graham Greene's book Brighton Rock, "a place of contrasts, vivid colour and nostalgia, a fragrant confection, a powdered kiss at the end of the pier, for Brighton Belles and weekend Divas". I took part in beauty.ro's #beautyandbooksmonday on Instagram featuring Violet Ida see HERE.
Building on Miller Harris's creative exploration of literary inspiration which began with Scherzo & Tender in 2018, Violet Ida is inspired by Greene's character Ida Arnold, the big hearted heroine who wears violets in her hair. The fragrance evokes high heels, lipstick, weekends on the coast, pebbled beaches, arcades and music with an air of nostalgia.
It has head notes of Italian Bergamot and Carrot oil, a heart of Orris Beurre and Heliotrope with a base of Vanilla and liquid Amber.
It's unlike anything in my collection - a powdery soft confection of sweetness with hints of iris and violet. I simply adore it. What's are your favourites from Miller Harris?
