At Floris London, we hear many questions from visitors, fragrance enthusiasts, and loyal customers alike. As Britain’s oldest perfumer, with nearly three centuries of history, we thought it was the perfect time to answer your most common questions, and share a little about our story.

Floris London was established in 1730 by Juan Famenias Floris and his wife Elizabeth. We are proud to remain family-owned, with the 8th and 9th generations carrying forward our legacy of perfumery. Our flagship store has been welcoming customers at 89 Jermyn Street, London, for decades.
