Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure White Linen
This one's a proper clean sheet of a scent, a refreshing spritz that screams 'fresh laundry on a sunny day'. While some find its crispness delightful, others reckon it's a tad too stark, even reminiscent of cleaning products or hospital disinfectant. Best for those who want to smell pristine and unapologetically fresh.

Our Verdict - Gardenia
This isn't your average gardenia; it's a divisive white floral that some adore for its unique, almost 'wilted' greenness and creamy depth, while others find it misses the mark entirely for a true gardenia. Love it or hate it, it's unmistakably Floris.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh character and moderate sillage make it ideal for daytime wear, particularly in the office or for casual outings where you want to smell refined but not overpowering. It's less suited for romantic dates or formal events where a more sensual or opulent scent might be preferred.
