I am mad about Miller Harris. Having vowed that I would be a
lifelong wearer of only Guerlain scents I found myself in a bit of a
predicament…but then this particular perfume is too delicious to ignore.
Geranium Bourbon is by no means one of Lyn Harris’ newer
scents but I think it’s a classic. It has been in my life for a few years now and I
often finish a bottle and forget about it for a while...but as soon as Summer comes around I
yearn to have it back. For me, each spritz comes with the memory of a holiday,
a full, green garden and warm evenings.
It’s a flowery, rosy geranium with palmarosa, cassis with a
touch of French violet, Turkish rose and black pepper, combined with notes of vanilla,
amber and patchouli. It’s not too light, nor too dark. It’s mysterious but not
too sexy for the daytime. Having said that, people of the gentlemen variety
love it. I have been stopped and followed down the street on more than one
occasion while wearing Geranium Bourbon and find hugs and kisses linger longer
than they should. It sinks into the skin and floats on the air around you,
leaving a divine bouquet in your wake.
