The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
The Miro line takes its name from Joan Miró, the Catalan surrealist whose canvases read like color set loose from form, playful, abstract, alive with unexpected pairings. Hommage is the perfume that name requested: not a literal translation of his work, but an attitude. Perfumer Christian Plesch composed this release as an homage to that same spirit. Sweet fruit meeting white flowers. Bright top notes bending into something more suggestive underneath. The kind of composition that looks simple at a glance and keeps revealing itself the longer you sit with it. There's a confidence in the way it moves from the tart snap of blackcurrant and rhubarb through the creamier hush of jasmine, violet, and lily-of-the-valley, then settles into a base of vetiver warmed by amber and grounded by musk.
Hommage belongs to a tradition of floral-fruit compositions that read as easy on the surface, but the real architecture sits deeper. What sets this one apart is the restraint. The jasmine, violet, and lily-of-the-valley middle acts as a cooling layer instead of a loud one, and the vetiver-amber-musk base introduces a woodiness that anchors the sweetness rather than letting it float away. It's a composition that knows what it doesn't need. Nothing overpowers, nothing competes for attention; instead, each note contributes its own register to a chord that holds together with remarkable poise.
The evolution
The opening belongs to fruit. Blackcurrant arrives tart and vivid, with rhubarb sharpening the sweetness into something brighter and more acidic. Bergamot flickers at the edges, adding a brief citrus lift before the whole composition tilts toward the floral. As the first minutes pass, the white petals take over. Jasmine brings warmth without weight. Violet steps in with a powdery softness, the cosmetic-cotton-pad register, and lily-of-the-valley threads a green, almost watery sweetness through everything. The composition doesn't crash through these transitions; it drifts, the fruit gradually thinning out while the florals thicken into something creamier and more textured. Eventually the fruit disappears and what remains is a quiet blend of musky amber and a thread of vetiver that keeps the whole thing from dissolving into skin.
Cultural impact
Hommage doesn't aim to wow a room or spark conversation across a dinner table. Instead, it sits close and rewards the wearer who revisits it through the day. The kind of scent for someone who wants a floral with a little personality, not a wall of jasmine shouting over everything else. It belongs to a smaller audience, those who already know what they like and don't need to be convinced by louder compositions. Hommage assumes you can handle restraint, that you don't need every note to announce itself, and that you'll enjoy the slow reveal of layers as the hours pass.
