The Crown Perfumery Co. was one of Britain's foremost perfume houses. Crown Perfumery was founded in 1872 by William Sparks Thomson, a maker of crinolines and corsets. Catering to the high society in London and Europe, he launched a collection of floral fragrances called Flower Fairies. Queen Victoria granted the Crown Perfumery her own crown's image to top the fragrance bottles. By the end of the century, Crown Perfumery was exporting nearly 50 different perfumes and accompanying products to countries all over the world. Mrs. Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, was the inspiration for the creation of 'Crown Bouquet'.

The Crown Perfumery Company collection consists of eight fragrances: 4 for ladies and 4 for gentlemen, that are all based on original compositions, once inspired by or created for famous personalities, including King Edward VII, the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin, Laurence of Arabia and many more. We now have the rare Crown fragrances in stock as well, please see list below.

They feature only the finest ingredients, flowers, herbs and aromatic woods and natural oils. The cream and gold packaging for women and the green and gold for men are topped with Queen Victoria's crown replica as a sign of elegance, excellence and quality.

In 1999 the luxury brand Clive Christian's relentless pursuit of luxury led him to revive Crown fragrances. Clive was inspired to revisit the forgotten traditions of quality perfumery, using the very best ingredients and retaining the classic bottle design. Clive Christian soon launched the fine Clive Christian fragrances, replacing the Crown perfumery fragrances.

The bottles we have listed on this page are among the last Crown fragrances available. Once they are gone unfortunately there will be no more.
