Floris, Jasmine, 465 ml. or 16.25 oz. Flacon, Toilet Water, By Appointment to the Queen, 1919, 1970, London, England ..

Floris have been British family perfumers since 1730. Floris London has been providing uncompromising fragrances for stylish generations. Floris is the oldest independent family perfumer in the world and the only Appointed Perfumer to Her Majesty the Queen. Floris is the original and authentic fragrance house of Britain.

Floris founder Juan Famenias Floris and his wife Elizabeth began selling perfume, combs and shaving products in the elegant quarter of London’s St James. The Floris shop they opened at 89 Jermyn Street remains the heart of the business and is still run by their descendants today. The art of creating distinguished fragrances is in the Floris blood.

Nearly 300 years ago, Juan Famenias Floris created his first fragrance and recorded the formula in a large leather bound book. He continued to craft individual blends for his distinguished customers and with each new fragrance, the original formula was handwritten in this very book. For three centuries these recordings, along with the many more that followed, have been meticulously cared for in the vaults at 89 Jermyn Street and have been handed down through each generation of family, providing inspiration for the unique Floris fragrances created today.

Now, Floris' in-house perfumery team produce unique and timeless creations, all of which are given approval by Edward Bodenham, the Floris 'nose' and 9th generation of the Floris family. Edward and his team are based at 89 Jermyn street in the perfumery behind the founding shop where we have created all our fragrances since 1730. In this same perfumery Edward learnt his craft as a boy from his grandfather, where at that time the fragrances were blended in the sub-basement affectionately known as ‘the mine’ beneath the store.

Attention to detail is the key to all Floris products, which use the finest quality fragrance oils and ingredients.

"This is a very strong jasmine, reminiscent of deeply brewed jasmine tea. As a soliflore, there is nothing complex about it. I can detect no other notes. In modern perfumery the closest I have come to it is Serge Lutens’ A La Nuit. The two, the Floris and the Lutens, are interchanageable.

As R. Baker notes, this is not a “pretty” jasmine. It is dark and deep. I am astonished at how intense it is, given that it is an edt strength. Not for the faint of heart." Basenotes Review. Jack Twist
