An intensely vibrant scent, full of color, depth, and a rush of sweetness, Scherzo captures a multitude of blooms: dark red rose, clouds of peony, and sunny yellow narcissus.
The heady glamour of the 1930s French riviera is recreated in our best-seller, bursting with fruits, flowers, and shimmering sunshine. The base shimmers with oudh, earthy patchouli, and a sprinkling of sugar to capture the feeling of a confectioner’s window. The sweetness of tangerine is offset by the intoxicating purple richness of davana, which adds a twist of liquor to the scent.
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 on to become an instant classic and bestseller in our house of fragrances at Miller Harris.

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 on to become an instant classic and bestseller in our house of fragrances at Miller Harris. The fragrance takes a cue from Fitzgerald's description of the heroine, young actress Rosemary Hoyt strolling against a symphony of bright flowers in the glorious summer sunshine." Scherzo " is named after a musical term meaning a small extract taken from a larger work such as a symphony.
