D R Harris
London chemists and perfumers since 1790.
D R Harris was established in 1790 at 29 St James's Street in London by Henry Harris and Daniel Rotely, positioning itself from the outset as a chemist and perfumer serving the gentlemen of London's most distinguished club district. The house holds multiple Royal Warrants and is one of the few surviving British chemist-perfumers maintaining continuous commercial operation from the Georgian era. Its location in St James's — near Berry Bros & Rudd, Lock & Co., and other historic trade establishments — locates it precisely within the world of classical English male refinement. D R Harris produces traditional English shaving preparations, cologne waters, and eau de toilettes in formulas that honor nineteenth-century prescription chemist aesthetics. Classic releases including Arlington and Windsor remain in continuous production and are among the most historically significant British masculine fragrances available. The house's prestige tier pricing reflects its heritage positioning, Royal Warrants, and premium raw material standards.
