Jermyn Street (eau de parfum) Floris

Citrus

Drawing on notes of gin and vetiver, this fragrance has the feel of refined elegance, understated class and style.

Inspired by what has been the backbone of the family business for nearly 300 years in the unique area of London that is St James’s and our home at 89 Jermyn Street.

Notes of gin with a splash of lemon, an initial burst of citrus and green notes have been blended with the theme of vetiver. The vetiver runs through the fragrance from its introduction to the base and is supported in the heart, accompanied by juniper with a contemporary twist of coriander, a subtle complement in gin creation. The fragrance also draws inspiration from the London plane trees which proudly still stand in front of the shop today, and the fresh scent of fine crisp cotton found within the renowned shirtmakers residing in the iconic location named after Henry Jermyn in 1664.

Jermyn Street in 1730 was a fashionable world of enterprise, excitement and migration that brought with it knowledge and opportunity. From our shop on Jermyn Street in St James’s, Edward Bodenham was reminded of his childhood when a delivery of fragrance was dropped and spilt outside the Floris doorway and for days the street outside was filled with the scent of perfume essence. On his first visits to the shop as a child, fragrance was still created in the ‘mine’ beneath, perfuming the street with a continuous blend of the scents being poured below, and therefore the ‘Jermyn Street’ Eau de Parfum was born out of the desire to celebrate our home at 89 Jermyn Street and the businesses and surrounding community that make up this hub of satorial style and elegant luxury.

よもぎは、キク科ヨモギ属の多年草で、世界中に広く分布する植物です。一般的には、道端や荒地、野原などで自生している姿をよく見かけます。 よもぎは、細長い葉が特徴的で、葉の縁には細かいギザギザがあります。春から夏にかけて、よもぎの葉の付け根から小さな黄色の花を咲かせます。秋になると、綿毛のついた種を風に乗せて飛ばし、新しい場所で根付くことで繁殖します。 よもぎは、その香りや薬効でよく知られています。葉を揉むと独特の香りがするのが特徴で、この香りは精油成分であるシネオールによるものです。よもぎには、消炎作用や収れん作用、血液浄化作用などさまざまな薬効があるとされており、漢方薬や生薬として古くから利用されてきました。

Haze (eau de parfum) Akro Nose: Olivier Cresp

Woods

Haze, like a breath, liberates by creating an unresolved sensation. Between two states, two notes.
