Handmade in Harpenden was founded by Henry and Farhana in 2017. Growing up they both learnt the power of nostalgia through smell, especially the strong link between natural scents and memories. Conscious of her environment having grown up with asthma and numerous allergies, Farhana’s fascination with fragrances naturally led her to use non-toxic fragrances to fill her life with beautiful scents. Meanwhile Henry, having spent three years in a laboratory, was learning the perfumery skills to create the scents that induced nostalgic memories from their travels and childhoods. Dedicated to living a clean, sustainable way of life, they created Handmade in Harpenden to share their custom blended fragrances and plant-based creations with the world, while pledging to only source materials from the UK. Fast forward to today, and they have been running a local fragrance house delivering a forever evolving collection of memory evoking scents that bring beautiful memories flooding back.
