Floris London is behind a range of exclusive, aromatic scents for the discerning man and woman who are looking for a unique fragrance that stands out from the crowd. Floris is the world's oldest, independent, family - owned perfumery, and it has the status of Purveyor to the Royal Court. It all began in 1730, when Floris founder Juan Famenias Floris and his wife Elizabeth started selling perfumes, combs, and shaving products in the elegant St James district in London. They opened the Floris store at 89 Jermyn Street, which is also the heart of the business to this day - and the business continues to be run by their descendants.
Over the years, many celebrities have sworn by the unsurpassed scents of Floris. James Bond creator, Ian Fleming, was a regular customer of Floris, and he preferred the No. 89 scent. During the 1950s, Floris increasingly exported products to the United States, where the brand became more and more popular. Back in 1959, Marilyn Monroe Miller bought a Rose Geranium while staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, California. Other well-known names include Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, and Sharon Stone.
