| UK Established in 1905 by Chemist-Perfumer Sidney F Goss
at 110 New Bond Street, London. Named after a horse called Mornington
ridden by Victorian jockey Tom Cannon. The shop was decorated and fitted
out in an English refinement of French style by S Maw & Sons. In
June 1906 the company moved to one-story premises at 201 Regent Street
and traded as Morny’s
Pharmacy Stores: perfumes often named after music titles and themes:
placed in liquidation in July 1908: S F Goss had creased to be involved
with company by then due to ill health: he died on the 26th of March
1911. A new trading company was formed in April 1909 under the name 'de Morny', the ‘de’ added to convey French image with the sub-heading 'Parfums-Products de France' at 201 Regent Street. Reformed in 1918 as Morny Frères Ltd., were very successful in France. 1965 acquired by Lenthéric a subsidiary of British-American Cosmetic Division, part of BAT. In 1967 BAT bought Yardley & Co and Lenthéric and Morny products integrated with Yardley’s. Morny and Lenthéric were re-launched in 2001 under new proprietors. |
