Neroli Voyage
Neroli Voyage' is ispired by an expedition Edward Bodenham, Perfumery Director and Floris family member took, tracing the footsteps of his ancestor, Robert Floris. The Floris family have for generations been in the possession of journals written by Robert Floris while on his travels in the early 19th century. Robert travelled throughout the southern Mediterranean, sourcing ingredients, visiting family and seeking inspiration.
The letters are moving anecdotes of the beauty of the journey he took. Inspired, Edward had a desire to walk in the footsteps of Robert to understand better how his letters translated to the landscape and how those same settings could inspire us in the 21st century. One journey saw him travel around the Ligurian Sea coastline from France to Italy. When taking the boat across to Corsica you become aware of the aromatic scent of the island’s maquis shrubland before you arrive. To the locals it’s a smell they associate with coming home. Robert wrote as he left the island.
“The vessel creaks, Corsica became a speck, and the higher landscape melted into the clear blue ocean.”

Bergamotto di Positano
The faint sensation of forgotten summer hideaways that enflame forgotten memories, Bergamotto di Positano is a homage to Charles Joseph Pagliano, who in the early 19th century left the enclave of the small fishing village on the Amalfi coast to travel to England and marry his sweetheart Mary Floris. Mary was a key member of the Floris family who lived and worked for many years for the family business at 89 Jermyn Street.
The breath-taking spectacle of the Amalfi coast brings you close to the real, tangible and intense soul of the Mediterranean. It is this beauty that Charles left behind to make his fortune. Marrying into the Floris family, he and Mary took up ownership of the Sabloniere Hotel in Leicester Square and for over 3 decades in the early 1800s held court in the heart of London as the first point of call and home for Italian visitors to these fair shores.
Charles never returned to Positano remaining in London, but his portrait along with Mary’s still sits inside the mahogany cabinets of 89 Jermyn Street. We were captured as to what he thought of home, and if he ever yearned for the Mediterranean Sea. In the 1950s, John Steinbeck wrote of Positano, ‘"Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.” We think this may have been true for Charles.
