Floris London 1988 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. 1988 opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Floris London's 1988 carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A modern homage to classic green aromatics, 1988 is for those who appreciate a refined, slightly retro vibe. It's well-blended and elegant, though its longevity leaves some wanting more for the price.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and refined profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, projecting an aura of composed freshness. While elegant enough for formal settings, its performance might not last a full evening, and it's too subtle for a boisterous night out.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of grapefruit, lemon, and bergamot, alongside an invigorating green crunch from galbanum and redcurrant leaf. This fresh introduction settles into a sophisticated heart of powdery iris, classic rose, and herbaceous rosemary. The journey concludes with a clean, woody base of vetiver and sandalwood, softened by a hint of warm amber and musk.
