Miller Harris launched Cologne 1888 in 2008 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the citrus and aromatic families. Perfumer Lyn Harris poured every ounce of mastery into this one. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.
Brand country — the United Kingdom, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Cologne 1888 Miller Harris — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Cologne 1888 evolves as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Miller Harris is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Musc and Spicy without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a cool lavender mood: Basil, Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Caraway, Marjoram, Rosemary and musk.
The inner phases are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Aromatic, Citrus, Spicy and Musk. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Aromatic and Citrus.
In summary Cologne 1888 sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
