The success story of D.R. Harris began around 1790 in London's St. James Street, when Harris' Apothecary was founded by the owners Henry Harris, a surgeon, and Daniel Rotely, a former pharmaceutical chemist.
His initials can be found in the name of D. R. Harris today.
Over the next fifty years, the family business made a name for itself by selling Classic Cologne, Lavender Water and English Flower fragrances in London's neighborhoods.
In 1938, D. R. Harris was appointed Purveyor to the Court of His Royal Highness and later to the Prince of Wales.
In 2012, he was awarded the Royal Warrent by the Queen.
Today, the traditional apothecary store on St. James Street, with much of its original furniture, continues to offer an excellent service.
The fine selection of soaps, shaving creams and soaps, aftershaves and colognes, skincare products is aimed at all those who care about high-quality and elegant products.
D. R. Harris is also concerned with sustainability. The company wants to be as climate-neutral as possible and is working hard to achieve this goal, for example through sustainable packaging.
For example, D. R. Harris has been committed to climate protection by planting trees for every purchase made since 2018 and sourcing most of its raw materials from the UK. The packaging is fully recyclable and partly reusable.
All products are naturally cruelty-free and of natural origin.
