J Floris Holdings

Product Name: FLORIS LONDON
Company: J. Floris Ltd.
I was unpacking and found a few products my mom purchased for me on her trip to London a few years ago. Interestingly enough, I had never opened any of the products… until now! I expected the various products to smell like an «old lady», and considering my mom’s taste in perfume, my expectations that I would like the stuff was LOW.
To my surprise, their products smell really good! I love scents with hints of citrus and flowers! I love things that smell FRESH! I’m not going to say which products I got and will definitely use from hereon, because I don’t want anyone to smell exactly like me… but I definitely recommend their stuff to those who like things that smell pretty and fresh!
Score ONE for mom! I won’t tell her how much I like it though, because she might get upset at the fact it took me a few years to open what she gave me! LoL!!!
PS
I just Googled Floris London, because I wanted to see if there was a way to restock my supply once it runs out. Thank goodness for the internet! Yes, you can order their products online! :)

I should acknowledge that Floris holds 2 Royal Warrants, one of which is Toilet Preparations to Prince Chuck. Hehehehe. The other Warrant is Perfume for Her Majesty. I discovered the brand several years ago when I was researching a trip to London and purchased a few different fragrances, one of which is my favorite, Zinnia. When I looked on their website, it looked like all the individual shops had closed and that their products were just sold in pharmacies. Thankfully I was wrong and this location on Jermyn Street is open.
Lovely shop with original Victorian shelves in pristine collection. Sadly, they are discontinuing the Zinnia fragrance, but the remaining bottles were significantly discounted so I picked up a few bottles. The staff was extremely friendly and were quick to give me some historical facts about the location and the brand.
London seems to be shedding its Victorian prim and proper image for a more modern cosmopolitan image, so I wonder how Floris will counteract these trends with their products. Nevertheless, it’s a great shop that sells lovely fragrances and toilet preparatory items and worthy of a visit.
P. S. The soaps make terrific hostess presents!
