In April 1926 a perfume was created in Jermyn Street,
London by the Floris family to
celebrate the birth of
King George V’s first grandchild, Elizabeth.
The fragrance was
named ‘Royal Arms’.
In 1952 Great Britain saw the coronation of
this grandchild as
Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II
took her place at the throne.
Now, as sole Perfumers by Appointment to
Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II,
this historic year of 2012 presents Floris
with the opportunity to mark a momentous
occasion.
The heart of the beautiful 'Royal Arms'
floral fragrance comes from the queen of flowers,
the rose.
Rose essence is balanced in a bouquet of jasmine,
iris with ylang ylang and
hints of sweet violet.
Bergamot and lemon lift the heart of the
perfume which is
warmed by a nostalgic
powdery base of amber, musk, patchouli and vanilla.
This special version of 'Royal Arms'
