Description
A fragrance of understated class and style, Jermyn Street pays tribute to the elegance and excitement of the celebrated street in the 21st century, with a nod to the Jermyn Street of Juan Famenias Floris‘ time. Drawing on notes of gin and old copper stills, with a splash of lemon, the citrus and green notes blend with vetiver, a chord that runs through the fragrance from top to base. Vetiver in the heart blends with juniper and coriander (echoing the gin theme) as well as armoise (artemisia), a woody-green aroma recalling the popular London plane trees, one of which still stands in front of the store. Vetiver in the base is entwined with amber, cedar and musk, which together impart a note of crisp cotton, inspired by the many shirtmakers who have taken up residence on Jermyn Street over the years.
Jermyn Street by Floris is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Jermyn Street was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Edward Bodenham. Top notes are bergamot, mandarin orange, vetiver and violet; middle notes are coriander, vetiver, artemisia and juniper berries; base notes are amber, cedar, musk and vetiver.

Citrus opening is bright and beguiling. For me the drydown is less impressive leaning toward powdered latex as in a balloon opened from a sealed packet, albeit a very good quality balloon. Longevity is reasonably good but not as fine as others in the Floris stable.

It may be unisex, but definitely leaning to the masculine side – a very classy “gentleman’s” fragrance, fitting perfectly for spring and summer. Opening kinda fresh with vetiver, bergamot, spices and juniper and drying down to a gorgeous and discrete woody amber that must be part of the “armoise”.
When I went to the page of this scent on Fragrantica, I was quite surprised to see it “remind me of” Bronnley Original, which I never thought of though I own the Bronnley. For the fun of it, I did a comparison with Floris on my left arm and Bronnley on my right – and I stand corrected. Though they don’t smell exactly the same, they give of the same kind of vibe. The Bronnley is sweeter and lacks the exceptionally wellcomposed drydown of Jermyn St. (but to be fair it is also much cheaper in retail), whereas the Floris is longer lasting and has that “last finish” that makes it even more superior.
Overall an excellent scent I would recommend most people, though the high retail price may fend off some potential customers.

The initial hit is citrus with a complexity which justifies the high price tag. This is a really classy fragrance that avoids following current trends. It’s distinctive, different and a delight to wear.

There is a lot of Artemisia and Violet, especially at first. The effect is bitter-herbal and floral-powdery but bright. It’s interesting and original, can’t say I love it though. 7/10. Man do these perfume houses have a hard job. They have to make something beautiful, original, and make it perform.

Absolutely love this fragrance. Citrus and fresh scents are my thing, and this is up there with the best of them. The opening is fantastic. As with most citrus scents, the problem is the performance. It pretty much stays a skin scent on me from the moment of spraying it. And then lasts around 4-5 hours before disappearing completely.
I would be interested to know why fresh scents tend to perform so badly. Such a shame.
Anyway this is worth buying even with the performance issues, because the smell is gorgeous, even if you’re the only one appreciating it.

Beautiful understated opening of citrus and juniper berries which fades quickly revealing a powdered violet leaf note. The notes and spicing is so delicate, coriander seed and vetiver amongst the careful blended concerto which makes up this masculine aromatic fragrance. The overbearing vibe I get from Jermyn street is not one of a citrus vetiver or even a floral aromatic, it’s more like Knise Ten. That thing people refer to as leather and kinda is, that is what I get from this except instead of orange blossom like in Creed Royal English leather for example, it’s replaced with a very toned down violet.
Jermyn street is extremely light in the sense of an eau de Cologne type fragrance and the unfortunate sense that it doesn’t last all that long.
Still, like the well blended traditional offerings of Penhaligon’s and Floris I just can’t fault the majority of what they do.
