www.drharris.co.uk Introduction D. R. Harris products have been enjoyed by many families for generations. For some, our products will be familiar, but for many others we hope that this brochure is a welcome introduction to a range of products made with pure ingredients in the traditional way. Our fragrances are light and suitable for all occasions, loved by people of all ages who appreciate our unique brand of subtle old-world charm. D. R. Harris products encompass a wide range, from aftershaves and colognes to face creams and moisturisers. Within these pages it is possible to give only a taste of what we have to offer at our traditional premises in St. James s, London where we combine our 21st Century Pharmacy with more traditional products, in a Victorian setting. By 1790, D. R. Harris s first apothecary had been established in St. James s Street in the heart of Gentleman s Clubland. A reputation was established selling Lavender Water, Classic Cologne and English Flower perfumes to the fashionable quarter of St. James s and Mayfair. Since its foundation this family business has served the gentry and the Court of St. James and in 1938 was granted the Royal Warrant as Chemists to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Continuing the tradition, in 2002 D. R. Harris & Co. was granted the Royal Warrant as Chemists to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Today D. R. Harris provides the modern world with a continuity of personalised service and tradition and an ever widening range of toilet waters, soaps, bath and shaving preparations for the truly discerning. Our products are available to personal callers at our St. James s shop, by mail order or from our website www.drharris.co.uk. All of D. R. Harris s excellent preparations are made and packed in England. The vast majority of our products are still produced by the same traditional methods that we have employed over the years, being hand-made and hand-packaged in our own premises in London. Our preparations are not tested on animals. All of our spray containers are non-aerosol. The traditional container is glass but in many cases we can also supply our products in lightweight plastic containers for the convenience of travellers. Introduction
