Floris London 280 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. 280 opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Clove, settles into a heart of Neroli, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Floris London's 280 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A sophisticated floral with a kick of spice, 280 is a hidden gem that unfairly flew under the radar. It's a comforting classic that wears beautifully, even if you never knew it existed.

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.

About

Opening with a sharp, invigorating burst of bergamot and the unexpected warmth of pepper and clove, this fragrance immediately asserts its refined character. The heart unfurls into a delicate iris joined by sunny neroli and the creamy, exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang, creating a powdery, subtly floral core. It settles into a soft, inviting base where musk intertwines with the sweet, balsamic nuances of tonka bean and vanilla, leaving a lasting impression of understated elegance.
