Juan Famenias Floris was born in 1698 on the Spanish island of Minorca and worked as a barber and perfumer before emigrating to England.
In 1730 he established a barber shop and comb-making business on London's Jermyn Street; he and his wife Elizabeth soon began making and selling perfume, missing the aromas of their Mediterranean youth, and he created early fragrances including Limes. He died in 1760, leaving a business still run by his descendants at 89 Jermyn Street today.
