Reasonable delivery times and little samples made this order a lovely surprise. He upgraded my vanillin size and added in 2x 5ml samples. Quality ingredients.
I've added this one to my list of favourite suppliers (I've tried quite a few now) this one and the FF are now my fav uk hobbyist suppliers.

Another perfect order.

Service, top class.
Materials, top class.

Everything arrived exactly as expected, well handled, and the quality speaks for itself. You can tell care goes into what they supply.

A special thank you for the generous samples, always appreciated and adds real value.

Harry is top class, and it shows in how the whole operation is run.

Highly recommend this company.

Incredible service and top-tier materials. Everything arrived quickly, securely packed, and perfectly labeled. The quality of the raw materials is exceptional, and they even went above and beyond by throwing in some fantastic extra samples for me to test in the lab. A truly professional supplier that I will be using for all my future formulations!

By far the best supplier of materials for perfumery, not only in the UK if you want a local supplier, but IMO the best of them all.

Consistently the best grade of materials and lovely to deal with.

Harry is so helpful and generous with his knowledge. I have bought from his website many times and emailed for advice on materials - he always gets back with reply. Really appreciate being able to access materials that I would otherwise have to buy kilos of from manufacturers.

I hate to choose favorites, but Harry is likely the best supplier I’ve purchased from. His willingness to share his knowledge, the extra time he takes to source materials that may not be listed, the wide range of rare products, the fantastic packaging and fast shipping… I could go on and on. Folks on Basenotes have recommended his shop for years and I now see why! If you’re exploring the weird and wonderful world of ACs or looking for splendid CO2 extracts that you won’t find anywhere else (guava fruit, raspberry fruit, blackberry fruit, brown sugar…), Harry is your man!

Another great order from Harry. My materials, always high-quality and pretty much the most interesting available, arrived promptly and were snugly packed.
Will be happy to repeat with my own business and can heartily recommend to other serious perfumers.

Harry is an absolute pleasure to do business with. I've placed several orders, and each one has arrived promptly and was very well packaged. The materials are competitively priced, and Harry is always helpful and responsive; he clearly cares about his customers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site.
A++++ experience all around!

I just opened a new shipment from Harrison Joseph, and it truly never disappoints.

I have been a client since 2023, and the shopping experience remains consistent and seamless.

This business offers personalized service before, during, and after a transaction, when and if you seek it. A hands-on business owner is behind it, a real person who can always answer any questions.

So many things about the shopping experience are spot on: the assortment of rare materials is unmatched and keeps growing, regular newsletter emails go out notifying, for example, when something is unavailable (usually due to market fluctuations or IFRA) or informing about new arrivals. Shipments are prepared promptly and always arrive before the estimated time. I've gotten samples with all orders, and I sense the owner has a talent for sending samples that may interest you based on your purchases, especially if you take the time to reach out for an informal chat.
Needless to say, the products are always fresh, impeccably packed for transit, and neatly displayed with proper labels.
It is the type of service I expect from a specialized business.

A review below complained about a minimum order requirement that I feel is a non-issue. While some may not like it, it's a common practice, and it's also not unusual to find the minimum order requirement upon arriving at a checkout page; it's not a scam. So, I don't know what all the fuss is about.

We should remember that this is a highly specialized supplier within a highly specialized field: perfumery is not for everyone, whether it is a hobby or a business. I own a perfumery business, so my purchases have a different connotation, but perfumery as a hobby is costly. It's not snobbery; it's a reality of the craft.

Regarding the service and support I receive, I consider making these rare materials available for purchase a service in itself; many are not available for small purchases elsewhere, while others are tough to find. Harry, the owner, provides guidance and support as needed; his knowledge is technical, thorough, and accurate. All you have to do is ask.

Constructing a perfumery accord requires research, patience, and devotion. Using specific materials to achieve a desired effect is a skill that takes time and resources to develop.

Harrison Joseph is a rare commodity and an invaluable tool for both beginners and those already familiar with the requirements of this craft.

Lovely unique selection of choices, though it would be great to have been able to order in small quantities (only needed a few oils and had to add more to basket lol). However, this wasn't a massive issue, just slightly inconvenient.

But other than this, no hassle and Harry even put some free samples in so I guess that kinda makes up for it.

Great experience! Shipping time was much shorter than advertised online + I got some free gifts. What a treat! Such a positive experience of two nice surprises with one order! Rarely happens these days so sending a massive thank you 🙏 I would 100% recommend and will definitely use in the future.

I have just spent a very long time choosing this company. Back and forth on their website. Today I finally placed the order, got to the check out. All is still good. Chose my postage options and CC details imputed. Then at the final click a banner appears saying YOU HAVE TO. SPEND £100 POUNDS FOR US TO DESPATCH. We are all SLACKJAWED HERE!!!!!
AT NO POINT DID THEY MENTION ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT THIS WAS THE CASE.
I thought spending £55 with anyone is worthy.
Are you scammers or just so elitist to the point of snobbery. I have screenshot their entire page to prove that they do not warm you against this ridiculous practice of theirs.
This is a hobby for me and they have just knocked the life and passion out of it for me. I hope I get it back as I feel profoundly dispirited. THANK YOU FOR THAT
