Abstract: Let $W$ be a finite reflection group, $ell$ a prime divisor of $|W|$ and $S_{e}ll$ a Sylow $ell$-subgroup of $W$. It can be shown that there exists a unique parabolic subgroup $P$ minimally containing $S_{e}ll$. We prove that there exists a simple system of $W$ such that $P$ is a standard parabolic subgroup and $N_W(S_{e}ll)=N_P(S_{e}ll)timesU,$ where $U$ is the setwise stabiliser of the simple roots of $P$. We also determine when an analogous decomposition of the normaliser of a Sylow $ell$-subgroup exists when we replace $P$ by a reflection subgroup minimally containing $S_{e}ll$. Furthermore, it is shown that if $W$ is crystallographic and has no proper parabolic subgroup containing a Sylow $ell$-subgroup of $W$, then there is a Sylow $ell$-subgroup normalised by the Dynkin diagram automorphisms of $W$.
