ETHICAL POLICY STATEMENT

Floris was founded in Jermyn Street, St James’s over 280 years ago by Juan Famenias Floris.

The early trade as a barber and comb maker soon blossomed into a thriving perfumery and soap manufacturer. Floris is proud not only of its tradition and heritage but also of the standards and quality of its products which it has managed to maintain to this day. We remain a family-run business which permits us to take a long-term view on all issues.

Our vision is to ensure that we are able to continue to provide the finest products to our discerning clientele, while striving for continuous improvement on environmental issues.
