ANGELA FLANDERS
Angela Flanders established her original perfumery in East London, in the heart of the famous Columbia Road Flower Market, in 1985. She set about to restore this perfect example of a Victorian shop. After a successful career in television costume design, she first indulged her lifelong passion for perfume by turning her skills to designing elegant Pot-Pourri, gathering rare and exotic materials, creating subtle perfumes, decorating with fragrance.
​
After Mitchelle Beazley published her book Aromatics in 1995, and further inspired by her fascination with the history of perfume and the beauty of natural ingredients, Angela Flanders began to work with fine personal fragrance; creating scents from her imagination and her skill as a perfumer.
The translation of an idea into liquid emotion attracts all who indulge in the luxury of fine handmade fragrance – perfumes which defy classification, a golden flask of joy, a drop of magic in every bottle.
Now successfully run by her daughter Kate, this unique and award winning perfumery has grown quietly over the years, becoming a destination for those in the know, who appreciate the art and craft of fine Artisan Perfumery.
The collection now includes over 40 individual and unique perfumes. From original favourites such as Mandarin and Mint, to more exotic blends like Figue Noire. Angela Flanders was awarded a coveted FiFi Award for Best New Independent Fragrance 2012 for Precious One, an intriguing woody chypre and in 2023 won again for the delicious Leather Rosa.
The collection of home fragrances, skin care and therapeutics are still represented in the shops, harking back to the early days, and are in effect the DNA of the heritage of this quietly iconic English brand.
