Lyn Harris is a British independent perfumer recognized for creating iconic fragrance lines, Miller Harris and Perfumer H. After completing formal perfumery training with Monique Schlienger in Paris and advancing her skills with Robertet, a renowned fragrance house in Grasse, France, Lyn Harris co-founded Miller Harris in 2000 with Christophe Michel. During her tenure, she quickly established a reputation for distinctive perfumes and candles, leveraging her deep understanding of natural materials to create a unique olfactory signature. Harris developed notable fragrances, including ‘L’Air de Rien,’ originally a bespoke scent crafted for Jane Birkin, alongside popular offerings such as ‘Citron Citron’ and ‘Tea Tonique,’ which became signature pieces for the brand.

Perfumer H champions an ecosystem of elegance and simplicity, distinguished by its unique collaborations, including a partnership with master glass blower Michael Ruh, who crafts exquisite handblown bottles, further enhanced by an innovative refill service. Lyn Harris’s ongoing work through Perfumer H continually explores the intricate relationship between natural elements and olfactory creation. Her artistic process is frequently inspired by personal experiences and observations, leading to distinct collections. Recent fragrances have notably drawn inspiration from the vibrant landscapes of Portugal and seminal artwork such as Monet’s ‘Impression, Sunrise,’ reinforcing her commitment to an elegant, nature-infused perfumery.
