Miller Harris is a British fragrance house founded in 1873, known for classical compositions and a focus on quality ingredients. The brand maintains a strong heritage perspective while creating contemporary fragrances that emphasize craft over trend.

Cologne 1888 opens with a bright, herbaceous top of basil, bergamot, citron, and grapefruit, rounded out by wheat for texture. The heart brings marjoram and white cedar extract, creating a fresh-spicy character with aromatic depth. The base settles into amber, labdanum, patchouli, and styrax, grounding the composition with woody warmth and subtle sweetness. Overall, this is a structured cologne with herbal and citrus-forward DNA that stays crisp throughout, never veering into heavy territory despite the resinous base.

This suits anyone after a refined everyday fragrance that works equally well on men and women. It's ideal for spring and summer wear, or anytime you want something clean and slightly green without resorting to floral territory. The herbaceous backbone and citrus brightness make it versatile for office or casual settings. Cologne 1888 shares DNA with The Tactician, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader.

basil
basil
Sweet, spicy, and vividly herbal, basil has a green freshness with slightly anise-like and peppery facets that make it more complex than most culinary herbs. In perfumery it adds a lively, Mediterranean quality and pairs beautifully with citrus and woody notes. An underused note that rewards those who seek it out.
bergamot
bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
citron
citron
One of the oldest cultivated citrus fruits with a thick, intensely aromatic rind and a complex, slightly bitter, deeply floral-citrus character. Citron is more herbal and woody than lemon, with a gravity that makes it useful in both opening and heart notes. A hallmark of Jewish ceremonial culture repurposed into fine fragrance.
grapefruit
grapefruit
Bittersweet and juicy with a faintly metallic zing that sets it apart from sweeter citrus notes. Grapefruit is uniquely energising, it reads as clean and modern rather than traditionally 'citrusy.' It pairs effortlessly with musks, making it a staple of office-safe, all-day fragrances.
wheat
wheat
Warm, slightly sweet, and faintly yeasty, wheat adds a clean, bread-like warmth to fragrances. It reads as wholesome and natural, evoking freshly baked bread and golden fields. Used in gourmand and warm oriental compositions to add a natural, slightly savory warmth.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
marjoram
marjoram
Warm, herbal, and slightly camphor-like, sweet marjoram is softer and more floral than oregano, with a gentle warmth that reads as comforting rather than aggressive. It adds a culinary, Mediterranean quality to compositions and pairs naturally with lavender, cedar, and bergamot. A supporting herbal note that adds quiet complexity.
white cedar extract
white cedar extract
Base · 3–12 hrs
amber
amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
labdanum
labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
patchouli
patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
styrax
styrax
A complex resin with both balsamic-sweet and slightly rubbery, leathery facets, styrax adds a dense, heavy warmth to oriental fragrances. It has an almost tar-like quality that, in context, creates depth and presence. One of the oldest perfumery ingredients, it anchors many classic oriental bases.
