In 1840, Mr. Floris created Bouquet de la Reine as a wedding gift for Queen Victoria on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Albert. This bespoke scent celebrated their union, a royal romance that shaped British history. Such was its charm and significance that it joined the Floris repertoire in 1860, allowing the world to experience the fragrance inspired by a queen.


Fast forward to 2002, Floris introduced a modern adaptation of Bouquet de la Reine to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II . This updated composition serves as a tribute to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, after Queen Elizabeth II, encapsulating the enduring spirit of a queen who gracefully navigated love, loss, and duty.
