A house to my taste?!
Floris London, founded in 1730, is considered by my researches probably the oldest
Perfume house of the world (source: www.parfuemerie.de/floris-london).
The founder, Juan Famenias Floris, a Spanish immigrant, opened his shop in the elegant and venerable St. James quarter at 89 Jermyn Street with his wife Elizabeth that year and began to bring fragrances, cosmetics and combs to the English population. It is still located in the same place today, is considered the luxurious heart of the brand and is carried on by family members in the advanced generation. And in the meantime, this small individual shop opened at that time has grown into an internationally very recognised and renowned group of companies...

I came across this house by chance about two months ago on Parfumo. The first fragrance from this brand, which I was allowed to call my own, was No.89 EdT. I still find this one excellent, but it resembled me personally too much my Dior Eau Sauvage perfume (2017), so that I resold it for this reason.
When I then looked at other fragrances of this brand, I first became aware of the Elite EdT. The scent pyramid appealed to me quite a bit...
"Bergamot"? Juniper berries? You can't like them," I thought about the top notes...
"Lavender"? One of my favourite notes!", I was delighted with the heart.
And the base is also full of ingredients, all of which I like very much and many of which are my favourites: Above all vetiver, moss and musk...
Unfortunately at the time of my bottle purchase there were no sample offers here in the Souk and I had no other opportunity to test this fragrance. So I ordered on allbeauty.com the 100ml blind...
The No.89 EdT had also been a blind buy, by the way, and so I relied on my gut feeling again and already suspected that the Elite EdT would suit my taste as well. Fortunately it came also so...
I would describe the start as fresh and citric with a slightly fruity nuance, which is due to the bergamot mentioned above, but also grapefruit and lemon as well as juniper berries. These berries make the top note a very beautiful opening in my eyes, which distinguishes it from many other fragrance openings with the same direction that I have known so far. But right from the start, this so loved and cherished by me so-called "berry opening" actually swings. Oldschool-Vibe', which I personally like very much. I attribute this "old-fashioned" swing (absolutely not meant negatively; I only quote the description of many other users for this kind of scents) to lavender in particular. Together with the fir balsam, it provides the woodsy-floral or herbaceous-aromatic and at the same time somewhat spicy kick after the opening. After all, the base makes this fragrance a wonderful, classic masculine fragrance for men. The moss or vetiver, for example, which is so often used for fougère and chypre fragrances, on the one hand, and the woody cedar note on the other, I then perceive very well. They give the whole thing a woody-earthy character, which I regard as the icing on the cake and the fragrance is rounded off excellently by this
You can wear it all year round and for any occasion, but I personally think spring and autumn would be the most suitable. The durability is with a good 5 to 6h average; the Sillage is very moderate and rather reserved. You don't really attract attention with a big cloud of scent, which is good for the fragrance in this form and is probably intended by the perfumer.
The bottle fits the hand very well and is made of thicker glass, transparent and chic in a simple way. The liquid is a lush green, so you might want to be careful when spraying it on your clothes.
Conclusion:
I am very happy to have discovered this highly interesting and exciting brand for me. Because as it seems, this house primarily makes fragrances that are entirely to my taste. The Elite EdT is a great woody fresh / aromatic and slightly spicy gentleman's fragrance that has class and style. Whether at work, in the evening to go out, or just for me alone at home; when I apply it, I feel like I'm at home. It's the kind of fragrance that I feel most connected to or associate with.
The Elite EdT conveys an aura to the wearer that is associated with English sirs. So if you are a fan of classic fragrances, you should definitely try this brand.
