        MH są już wycenione i dostępne - 100ml za 350 zeta
    • sorbet Feuilles de Tabac 10.06.06, 00:57
      Bardzo aromatyczny, początek zielony, dymny, tytoniowy, później wetiwerowy,
      sosna (a dokładnie wilgotne wióry sosnowe:-) to taki klasyczny, świeży szypr,
      jak np. Eau Champagne bez liści pomidora i mocno zwielokrotniony. Bardzo bardzo
      fajny. Łagodna paczula wyłazi na końcu. Zupełnie nie androgeniczny i nie
      skórzany, jak np. Biche, raczej klasyczny i męski.

      Powąchałem jeszcze Coeur de Fleur (klasycznie kwiatowo-owocowo (brzoskwinia)-
      ambrowy - zupełnie nie w moim typie) i Terre de Bois (chyba mnie nie zachwycił,
      bo nie pamiętam:-) na papierku jest gorzki wetiwer)

      "Putting on the spritz"
      Independent, The (London), May 19, 2005 by Cat Callender
      The soapy aroma of French washing powder; the sweet smell of foreign climes as
      you step off a plane; the pavement after it's rained: these are a few of the
      perfumer Lyn Harris's favourite things.

      But then Harris is something of an olfactory phenomenon. Not only does the
      Halifax-born-and-bred professional 'nose' say she continues to detect odours
      when she's asleep, she can also claims to be able distinguish a person's race
      from the scent of their skin. She even says she can find a fragrance to suit
      most folk within five minutes of meeting. Indeed, conjuring up aromas to sate
      those whose love of their mutt's odour knows no bounds, who adore the whiff of
      freshly mown grass orwho are obsessed with the bouquet of the interior of their
      handbag, is all in a day's work for Harris.

      According to the 37-year-old fragrance expert, it's a talent she cultivated as
      a child in her grandmother's garden in the Highlands. 'She had an amazing
      flower-garden full of roses and geraniums, and a vegetable garden where she
      grew sweet peas,' recalls the French- trained perfumer. 'I remember I always
      used to get told off for picking the peas and cracking them open before they
      were ripe. But I just loved that wet, moist smell.' Today she is sitting in her
      lacquer-black private library and consultation room, tucked away at the back of
      her Bruton Street, London, emporium.
      The driving force behind the internationally renowned perfume label Miller
      Harris (which she set up in 2000, and named after her father), Harris says she
      was the first British perfumer to offer a bespoke fragrance service as well as
      a main range of perfumes and a limited edition collection of scents, Nouvelle.
      She is, also, the best-known independent British perfumer working in the UK.
      But the key to Harris's success is not so much that she's cornered a niche
      market, but that her fragrances are designed to unlock an emotional journey
      with a single spritz.

      'I want people to smell the experience I am trying to express,' she says of her
      wardrobe of perfumes, that run the gamut from a velvety Cuir d'Oranger to a
      zingy Citron Citron via the woody Feuilles de Tabac line. 'Rather than creating
      the stereotyped green- fig fragrance, I set about discovering my version. It
      wasn't until I went to Ibiza and smelt figs by the sea, the salty air, the dry,
      mossy earth, and surrounding herbaceous notes and experienced the whole
      landscape of the island, that I created Figue Amere.'

      Harris's fragrances act as a short circuit to an autobiographical experience.
      While Terre d'Iris recalls the pine, citrus and conifer notes that enveloped
      her during a stay in San Remo one summer, next year's launch of a light,
      fruity, floral scent is the upshot of her pregnancy, and Harris' resulting
      olfactory sensitivity. As for the latest addition to her Nouvelle collection,
      Vetiver Bourbon, this is a celebration of her love of a particular vetiver that
      grows at the foot of a mountain on the island of Runion, in the Indian Ocean.

      By producing her fragrances in the Gallic perfume capital of Grasse, in
      Provence, Harris follows in the footsteps of such venerable perfume houses as
      Patou, Guerlain and Chanel. Meanwhile, influenced by memories of working as a
      Saturday girl in an old- fashioned fragrance shop in her home town (it stocked
      Elizabeth Arden, Helena Rubinstein and Charles of the Ritz, and was frequented
      by fur-coat-clad women), Harris's velvety aromas transport you to a bygone era.

      Of course, the fact that each individual Miller Harris fragrance has taken a
      year to develop, has been trialed up to 150 times, and is the result of weeks
      of tinkering around with pipettes and mixing bottles in Harris's domestic
      laboratory, is all part of the appeal. It's certainly what sets her fragrances
      apart from their production- line, computer-analysed, mass-market counterpart
      products.

      'The kind of perfumes you find in department stores are designed to have
      instant impact,' explains Harris, who prides herself on the fact that her
      scents take 40 minutes to dry down and evolve (this is the mark of a good
      fragrance). 'The perfumer works to a very specific brief and price- point that
      means that he or she won't be able to put any of the goodies into their
      fragrance. Instead they use chemicals that smell the same on everyone.'

      Branded designer scents are the perfume equivalent of High Street clothing,
      whereas Miller Harris's unique, uncompromising aromas are considered the
      equivalent of couture. Certainly, Harris's use of what she calls 'naturals' in
      her perfumes mean even her non-bespoke scents possess the ability to
      metamorphose and so smell entirely different when they are on one person to
      when they are the next.

      'The spirit of a fragrance is the naturals. They are the heart, the essence,
      the soul,' she explains. 'I love to enhance the natural materials and allow
      them to shine individually. I don't like my perfumes to be all one thing. There
      are lots of layers and that's what makes my fragrances smell so completely
      different when on each individual person.'
      It's an awful lot of trouble to go to for what some might dismiss as simply
      sweet-smelling water. But, once you consider the powerful, biological-
      determined responses perfume can arouse, Harris's passion for creating unique,
      uncompromising fragrances suddenly makes sense. 'Smell is our number-one sense.
      I think it drives us; it's completely emotive. It's how we're attracted to one
      another. Often if you don't like somebody, it's to do with their smell,' says
      Harris. 'The problem is people wear the wrong scent in the same way that they
      wear ill-fitting clothes. They're so influenced by advertising that many people
      buy a scent because of this rather as a smell that suits them.'

      Harris suggests tuning in to our olfactory identities and cautions against just
      sticking with one scent. After all, as she points out, you'd hardly be caught
      wearing the same outfit for months on end. 'I think you can have a favourite
      fragrance that you'll never be without for the rest of your life, but you have
      to have other fragrances in your wardrobe too.

      'That way, when you wear that favourite fragrance, you're going to really feel
      it as you did the original time you wore it. But you just abuse it by wearing
      it every day. It's like a relationship: the minute you become obsessed, it
      doesn't work.'

    • sniezy i jeszcze Lyn Harris w The Observer 06.09.06, 16:52
      "I visit Lyn Harris, proprietor of Miller Harris, at her shop in Mayfair.
      Trained in Paris and Grasse, Harris is a nose, and was the first person to
      create bespoke fragrances in Britain. This involves meeting clients, talking to
      them in depth about their lives and interests, and then, over the next six to
      eight weeks, translating them into scent. It would, I think, be a fantastic
      present for someone special. Unfortunately, there's a waiting list of a year
      and a half and it costs £4,000.

      Still, she's agreed to do Observer, the perfume, so I explain to her our
      qualities. I don't need to spell them out here, because they are also yours:
      suffice to say that they include high intelligence, vast erudition and fun.
      After this, we smell things - smells floral and oriental and spicy and mossy -
      until I feel a bit headachey. Lyn Harris also got headaches when she was
      training, but she can smell '24 hours a day now. I even smell in my sleep.' She
      is so highly attuned to smells that if she got close to your bed, she could
      tell you what you wash your sheets in.

      British women, Harris tells me, don't know how to choose, or to wear perfume.
      >We should spend a lot more time thinking about it, taking samples to test
      the 'dry-down', which is what you're left with after half an hour when the top
      notes have evaporated. And we should wear it all the time, like French women -
      on the school run, loading the dishwasher - and much more generously. We should
      wear it for ourselves, so definitely in the cleavage, whence it can waft
      upwards. We should put it on all the pulse points, the back of the knees and in
      the hair, which, she explains, is very porous. I buy a bottle of her Figue
      Amère (bitter fig) and start spraying it in my hair. People keep telling me I
      smell good, which may be a polite way of saying a bit overpowering, especially
      for someone who is only doing the washing-up."
