Established in London in 1799 by James Atkinson—accompanied by his iconic bear—Atkinsons is a historic perfume house renowned for its bold creations and aristocratic flair. Breaking conventions from the start, Atkinson introduced a warm, spicy Eau de Cologne in 1800 that redefined British perfumery.

The brand’s identity is steeped in royal recognition, symbolized by a crest from King George IV, and reflected in its distinguished bottle design featuring gold engravings and a two-bear medallion. Each fragrance pays tribute to Atkinsons' storied origins—from the orange hue inspired by its first Soho boutique, to the top hat-shaped cap reminiscent of traditional wicker packaging.

With collections ranging from reimagined 19th-century classics to modern interpretations of British landscapes, Atkinsons continues to blend history with innovation—offering niche perfumes that transcend gender and embody timeless British elegance.
