Perfumer H London

Just browsing Perfumer H’s online shop is the first step to understanding Perfumer H’s extraordinary journey into creating scents that inspire and align with our own passions. Whisper the names – Rain Cloud, Driftwood, White Smoke and Ink - and already your nose is twitching to find out more.

Step inside the mother Marylebone store, a gorgeously tactile library of scents set against rough wood shelves, candles set in deep nests of moss, and a calming mid-century design with blue-grey décor that greets you, asking you to relax into its deep velvet seating.

Here, your personal story begins. See how the slow art of perfume is created and enter the laboratory where the magic happens. Choose a bespoke fragrance, buy a unique Laboratory Edition or pick a ready-to-wear scent and leave with a new appreciation of Lyn Harris’ keen nose for unique fragrances. Similarly, the crafted store concept can be found in Paris, Taiwan and soon Hong Kong. 

Lyn Harris’s passion for perfume was ignited during her training in Paris, although it was clear from a young age that she had a precious predilection for translating beautiful natural scents into perfumes, and growing up in Yorkshire she was surrounded by fresh air.

She continued to learn with Robertet Grasse – known for rose petals and perfume-making, who specialise in raw natural materials. This hugely influential period in her life helped launch her first fragrance enterprise –the phenomenally successful Miller Harris.

Now with Perfumer H, Harris has seen it as her duty to share her newly slowed-down processes, relying on her own intuition to turn her olfactory journey into an explosion of naturalistic tones. She describes the coming of a fragrance idea as so strong and vivid, yet simultaneously fleeting, so the intensity of her creative moment must be captured immediately.

Her aim is to create connections with our natural world and its materials with her range of unconventional fragrances which we find so intriguingly addictive.
