The story behind the bottle.
Cologne 1888 by Miller Harris was launched in 2008 and is a creation of Lyn Harris. This fragrance opens with fresh spicy notes that cut through the bright citrus top, creating an invigorating contrast. The aromatic and herbal heart adds depth and complexity before settling into a woody base with hints of green and amber. It's a composition that feels both lasting and modern — a nod to classic colognes reimagined for contemporary wear.
Apply this cologne lightly — the bright citrus notes are strong and can quickly overpower. It's best suited for daytime wear when the aromatic heart and woody base have room to develop on skin.
