Angela's present fascination is with dark perfumes- rich, deep and
mysterious- In 2006/7 Figue Noire was nominated for a FiFi Award,
followed by Oudh Noir-The spirit of the East of woodsmoke, leather,mystic and sweetness.
Mitchelle Beazley published her book Aromatics in 1995, and, further inspired by her researches, fascination with the history of perfume, and the writing of a 19th century perfumer, she realized her dream, and began to work with fine personal fragrance; creating scents from her imagination, her inspiration, a legend, an emotion, a rare and wonderful new ingredient.
She has conjured up a range of individual perfumes, attracting all those who indulge in the luxury of fine handmade fragrance, through the
translation of an idea into an emotion, she has produced perfumes which defy classification, a golden flask of joy, a little bit of magic in a bottle.
Angela Flanders found her shop in the heart of the famous Sunday morning Flower Market at Columbia Road Shoreditch, in the spring of 1985. She set about to restore this perfect example of a Victorian shop, and very soon this enchanting shop became a destination for discerning clients worldwide, who flocked to buy the flowers and fragrance she sold. For after a successful career in television costume design, she indulged her lifelong passion for perfume, and turned her skills to designing elegant Pot- pourri, gathering rare and exotic materials, creating subtle perfumes, decorating with fragrance.
