Voluptuous, sensual yet fragile and fresh, a national emblem in China and Japan symbolising beauty and abundance.
One of the most expensive ingredients that perfumers can use, in the Middle East it is known as 'black gold'. This dark resinous oil derived from agarwood gives a long lasting and intoxicating depth.
Fitzgerald writes descriptively of the real roses "looking like sugar flowers in a confectioners window". Maltol is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of larch trees and pine needles.
Extrait de Parfum is the most concentrated form of fragrance, offering enhanced depth, richness, and longevity through its higher proportion of perfume oils.
With a 30% concentration, Scherzo Extrait de Parfum captures the vibrant spirit of the original Eau de Parfum, reimagined with deeper sensuality and an irresistible allure that lingers long after the first impression. The scent opens with the familiar rush of tangerine and davana, bursting with bright, fruity sweetness. As it unfolds, the heart reveals a rich, floral warmth: honeyed rose and peony bloom against the resinous glow of frankincense, softened by the creamy sweetness of vanilla for a more gourmand expression of this beloved bestseller. At the base, a veil of moss and a whisper of incense meet mystical oudh, grounded by earthy patchouli and smooth amber woods to create a warm, enveloping trail. The result is an intensified, indulgent evolution—richer, more seductive, and unmistakably Scherzo.
This is Extrait de Parfum concentration.

“…She walked on, between kaleidoscopic peonies massed in pink clouds, black and brown tulips and fragile mauve stemmed roses, transparent like sugar flowers in a confectioner’s window.” F. Scott Fitzgerald
Scherzo is the first Miller Harris fragrance to derive inspiration from the world of literature. Launched in 2018, Scherzo is inspired by a passage of text in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 'Tender is the Night'. This short passage was the only thing given to perfumer Mathieu Nardin as the brief for the fragrance to be created. The resulting perfume has gone onto become an instant classic and bestseller in our house of fragrances at Miller Harris. The fragrance takes in cue from Fitzgerald's description of the heroine, young actress Rosemary Hoyt strolling against a symphony of bright flowers in glorious summer sunshine. Mathieu says that "when i read a book, I can smell what i am reading, the sense of what the writer is describing - the location, the French Riviera and the wonderful descriptions of sun, sea and heat influenced me to find my own colours and palette for the book in order to fill out the background for the fragrance. "Scherzo " is named after a musical term meaning a small extract taken from a larger work such as a symphony.
