Гарри Шервуд

Who is Harry Sherwood

Harry Sherwood is a name increasingly heard among connoisseurs of unconventional perfumery. This perfumer does not seek loud fame, but his works speak for themselves. The creator of the iconic Lidl retailer fragrance Eau de Croissant and the delicate Mellow for the brand Calms, he proves that true talent is not afraid to experiment with the most unexpected ingredients. We have gathered everything you need to know about his journey into the world of olfactory art.

Education and First Steps

Harry's path into the profession began with a classical perfumery education — he interned at one of the leading Swiss schools, where he mastered the subtleties of working with raw materials and composition. 'The Alchemy of Scent' is how he describes the early years when he learned to distinguish hundreds of notes and arrange them into harmonious pyramids. Sherwood received his first contract at a small niche laboratory, where he created mass-market versions for private labels. It was there that his signature approach took shape: combining accessibility with audacity.

Collaboration with Calms and the Mellow Fragrance

Harry's portfolio includes work with the British brand Calms, which specializes in fragrances for relaxation and comfort. For this brand, he created the composition Calms – Mellow — an airy cocktail of lavender, soft musk, and aquatic notes. This fragrance quickly gained popularity for its ability to relieve stress and provide a sense of inner harmony. 'Mellow is a warm blanket in liquid form,' fans joke, and Harry admits that he worked on it for almost a year, striving for the perfect balance between scent and benefit.

Experiment with Lidl: Eau de Croissant

The perfumer gained real fame through a collaboration with the Lidl supermarket chain. In 2024, the brand released a limited edition Eau de Croissant — a gourmand fragrance that smells of fresh butter pastries. Harry Sherwood is the author of this bold experiment. 'I was tasked with recreating the scent of a crispy croissant from a bakery,' the perfumer explains. 'I added notes of caramel, yeast dough, and vanilla to make the composition sound full and realistic, as if you were walking into a bakery.' Lidl – Eau de Croissant instantly went viral, sparking thousands of discussions on social media.

Style and Philosophy of the Master

Harry Sherwood is not afraid to break the rules. His signature is a play on contrasts: an academic base and an unexpected accent. He prefers natural extracts, but when necessary, boldly uses synthetic molecules to add volume. 'A fragrance is a story you wear on your skin,' the perfumer believes. 'My goal is to make you want to tell it again and again.' Each of his works — from commercial projects to author's samples — carries emotion and provocation, which wins over a discerning audience.

Influence on the Industry and Reviews

Although Harry Sherwood does not yet hold the status of a 'living legend', his works have already formed a small but devoted fan base. Users actively discuss both Calms and Lidl in their reviews. Particularly praised are Mellow for its calming effect and Eau de Croissant for its unexpected realism. The perfumer continues to collaborate with new brands but keeps his next projects a secret for now. Check out the reviews section — maybe you will find that perfect fragrance from this bold nose.
