Little drops of heaven

For one of our newest additions to the Miller Harris collection, Lyn wanted to create something that captured the pure essence of our most revered scents. These modest little bottles hold within them the raw material of the scent on top of a natural oil base, making them perfect for a multitude of uses. Try a couple of drops in your bath, or even massage into your skin and nails for a nourishing addition to your usual perfume.

Lyn’s Italian Love Affair

10 Corso Como

Earlier this month, Lyn took a trip to Milan for an interview with Italian Elle. Whenever Lyn visits Italy's fashion capital she insists on staying at the '3 Rooms' hotel in the heart of the city, describing the intimate setting as a “little haven in the middle of Milan”.

The 3 Rooms sits nestled behind 10 Corso Como – Milan's galleria-style concept store founded over two decades ago by Carla Sozzani (sister to Franca Sozzani, the current editor-in-chief at Vogue Italia). Lyn adores 10 Corso Como with its eclectic blend of fashion, art and design. Though what she loves about the store above all else is the ivy-coated courtyard that it is known for - and the springtime smells of jasmine and lemon trees that embrace every visitor.

Sweetness and light

Our candle range has grown this week with the introduction of our beautiful Edit Collection. Comprising three heavenly natural wax designs, the collection has been created to offer an addition to every room of your home; the aromatic Bois Sauvage pillar candle, the double wicked Bois Figuier candle and a set of Bois Fum¢ dinner candles.

Lyn worked with one of the oldest candle manufacturers in the world for this collection, bringing together her perfumery expertise with the talents of the Spanish-based candlemakers.

Breakfast at Bruton Street

Our fragrant teas have been going down a storm this week with guests at our Bruton Street store. Only available until this Friday, our tea room has been brimming with visitors eager to savour some Melrose & Morgan English muffins topped with our delicious Orange Blosson Marmalade! http://www.millerharris.com/tea/the-bigarade

Lady Marmalade

Lighter mornings make for longer breakfasts and our current obsession is our own blend of marmalade, made with organic Seville oranges, lemons from the Amalfi coast and Tunisian orange blossom. Watch this space as we’ll soon be selling it in our Bruton Street store. But if you can’t wait until then, you can still get your citrus fix from our citron olive oil, bigarade breakfast tea or Citron Citron Eau de Toilette.

Valentines Violets

We take delivery tomorrow of some beautiful Cornish Violets to sell outside the shop on Bruton Street. The flowers come from a family farm at Hayle in Cornwall. Both the North and South Coasts can be seen from the farm with views of St Micheal's Mount at Marazion to Penzance around to the point of St Ives then over to Godrevey Lighthouse and further up the north coast.

We will all be treating ourselves to a little bunch on Monday!

Come on Spring!

The last few days have seen such incredibly welcome bursts of Spring sunshine that we're desperate for those first shoots of green to appear and to smell Spring in the air finally.

In order to get ourselves ready we are busy spraying all our linens with our flower waters to make them smell of Spring flowers, using a few drops of lavender oil from the shops in water to clean down all our wood floors and surfaces and are planning a delivery of Cornish daffodils to sell outside our Bruton Street shop in March.

The hope is that we will encourage Spring into action!
