Lyn Harris has been working in the fragrance industry for
14 years and founded Miller Harris in 2000. She spent 5 years training in France
at one of the highly prestigious schools of the perfume elite in Paris and then
Robertet in Grasse. It was while she was in Grasse that Lyn learned about the
rare materials that form the souls of her scent portfolio today. Completing a
very strict and detailed training has established Lyn Harris as one of the few
classically trained noses in Britain.
When Lyn founded her own fragrance house, she took her
father's middle name, Miller, to create Miller Harris and her first shop in
Needham Road was opened. It was here that Lyn launched the first four 'Classic'
fragrances: 'Coeur de Fleur', 'Fleur Oriental', 'Citron Citron' and 'Terre de
Bois'. With the laboratory in the basement of this charming shop, a classic
Parisian style perfumery with black lacquered vintage cabinetry, the company
grew swiftly and steadily.
Today it is a young family business with Lyn at the helm,
blending fragrances both for the shop and private clients.
