This fragrance brand has historical British roots that date back to 1872. William Sparks Thomson opened a corset business that served notable clients including Queen Victoria. Thomson’s son created a lavender-based smelling salt to help prevent clients from fainting due to the tightness of the corsets. Ultimately, the Crown Perfumery was established in London and took a name inspired by the queen to symbolize elegance and luxury.
