Why It’s Named After Howard Florey
Named after Howard Florey, the Australian pharmacologist and pathologist who played a pivotal role in developing penicillin for widespread medical use, revolutionising modern medicine and saving countless lives. While Alexander Fleming is often credited with discovering penicillin in 1928, Howard Walter Florey oversaw initial clinical trials. He led the team that first produced large quantities of this antibiotic, which was essential to the Allied victory in World War II.
This fragrance reflects his groundbreaking contributions—rich in character, profound in impact, and enduring in legacy. Just as Florey's work transformed healthcare, HOWARD offers a scent experience that is both transformative and timeless.
