Lyn's story

The story

In 2000 she and partner Christophe Michel founded Miller Harris, whose creations include L'Air de Rien, originally composed for Jane Birkin, and in 2015 she launched her own label, Perfumer H, while remaining a consultant and shareholder for Miller Harris. She has been described by The New York Times as the first classically trained female British perfumer, and her work — for Miller Harris, Perfumer H, and clients including Claus Porto and Maison Trudon — is defined by natural ingredients and a deep connection to the British landscape.
