Our History

Morny of London was formed in 1905 by chemist & perfumer Sidney F Goss at 100 New Bond Street, London. The company was named after a horse called Mornington ridden by Victorian Jockey Tom Cannon.

The company moved to 201 Regent Street and was relaunched as Morny Freres Ltd to emphasise the French inspiration for the perfumes.

Morny supplied soaps to Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and Prince Phillip.
