Whatever it is that makes Ariana Grande Cloud smell synthetic and plastic-y, this perfume has it too.
Not for me.

Woody /slightly smoky very slight though
Sweet syrupy cardamom type scent
But then I looked at the similar perfumes sections and I see BR540 listed
And it hit me
Ahh
That dry down is BR540
W a slight woody/smokiness to it
I wont purchase this tbh
Because I noticed I love a lot of scents and moet are similar to BR540 in drydown
And its addictive at first but then I get bored of that sickly syrupy scent

Medicinal oud accord > medicinal cigarette ash > medicinal cigarette ash against penetrating, off-dry, somehow dark-minty or coniferous balsam backdrop. Rustic, gnarly, natural-look wooden ashtray due for emptying. This is not for everyone but I like it. Sillage is average to understated, as is probably appropriate for a scent of some gruffness. Probably masculine, but what the hell? (If you like it, wear it.)

Sugar balsam fir...
i get that sweet bloody balsam fir comb with no oud in it! and i guess the European style of oud is there with no oud (just a mix of resin & herbs) that made people think it is oud. It has big chunks of sugar, nutmeg, balsam fir, plum, and softens with cashmeran.
It's more of a dark sweet with a touch of cloying sugar, and i guess it is on the style of Baccarat Rogue.

Fir and Oud combination smells pretty unusual to me and lasts longer, than other MH fragrances this is why I fell in love rapidly. I would definitely buy this one next time

Oud strikes on the first smell then comes fir. After a while it's gets sweeter and more floral retaining that oud earthiness, fir notes become less and less noticable. Leans more towards being masculine. It's a good fragrance with nice projection and longevity.

70% the same as Baccarat, only this one is more smokey, incensey, balsamic. Especially in the opening. Later it dries down quite sugary-smokey. I like it. But, the one who doesn't love the sugar note should not buy it.

In the beginning it's a nice oud but then It smells like sweet oud and piss.

I'm a fairly big fan of Miller & Harris, loving Lumiere Dorre, Scherzo, La Feuille, and liking Wander through the parks, Lost in the city. This is, as ever, a well crafted and blended fragrance, however it feels a bit too derivative of BK540 to be given a full thumbs up. I get jumping on a bandwagon when there is clearly so much demand for BK540, and this is at a much more affordable price point. I just think they don't need to do it. It's a bit beneath them to do a copy. That said, this is not an exact copy and if you find BK540 too cloying and sweet then give this a whirl, as it is more woody, slightly more spicy and a little more grounded than the ultra luxe BK540. It's great, and I can't knock it, however it lacks originality.

This one was a scrubber for me, quite sickly. Good sillage and I do smell the comparison to BR540.

I’m surprised I like this, as I wouldn’t usually choose anything with fresh spicy or strongly aromatic accords as they tend to lean too masculine for my tastes.
I get the comparisons to BR540, it has the same sugary, toasted marshmallow scent, but that’s all I can smell in BR540, in this I can also smell pine and a lot of fresh spice (nutmeg?). BR also is very faint to my nose, although I can smell it on others who have oversprayed. This one is much stronger, and only tiny spray is enough to smell it clearly, although 1 tiny tester spray doesn’t project too far, but over arms length.
It’s totally unisex but more masculine than BR540 smells to me (but I can’t smell all the ingredients in that one, hence thinking it smells of just toasted marshmallow, and that I wouldn’t waste my money on it when Cloud smells the same).
I’d happily wear this, it’s sweet but with that fresh spicy edge.
I am surprised this isn’t more popular and talked about. If it was released by a bigger niche (yet common haha) house then everyone would be all over this.

Yes, BR540 mixed with very medicinal woody oud in the opening.
Gets sugary and more similar to BR540 as time progresses until the final drydown that becomes closer to Cloud (yes, Cloud) + a bit of leather & medicinal thingy.
If Cloud was the BR540's feminine dupe, this would be the more masculine.
I am not a fan of this DNA and how it finally turns in the last stage. Hence the dislike.

Mix BR540 with Creed Viking and this is what you get.

@Joseph. That’s why you don’t bye any type of fragrance on EBay. It’s all a scam on there. By the 2ml decanted from a legitimate company.

I'm a devotee of Miller Harris: Feuille de Tabac is my signature scent (absolutely gorgeous), and so I was very excited to receive a sample of Oud Éclat. I wasn't disappointed. This isn't what I'd call an 'in-your-face' oud frag - it's much more subtle than that. In fact my initial thought was that it smelt like bonfire toffee (in a good way)! So, off the bat you get a delicious mix of subtle oud, smoke, brown sugar and cashmere wood.
For me, the drydown accentuated the presence of the nutmeg and balsam fir with maybe the slightest hint of leather. Whatever though, from start to finish this is a beautiful and sophisticated scent that I would say leans more the the masculine but will likely draw compliments regardless of who is wearing it. It doesn't strike me as a young person's frag, however.
With one or two notable exceptions (Hidden on the Rooftops, for example) I don't find that Miller Harris fragrances project massively unless you go heavy on the initial sprays. That said, I think the level of projection here with Oud Éclat is just about spot on.
Having tried the sample, will I be buying a full size bottle? You bet!
