Floris London 1980 Edt

U ££

Elite

Floris London Elite is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1980. Elite opens with Juniper, Petitgrain, Cedar, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lavender, Bay Leaf, and Fir Resin, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Floris London's Elite carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Floris Elite is a divisive time capsule to the 80s, evoking a traditional British barbershop. Some find it a sophisticated, green, and comforting classic, while others dismiss it as an overpriced, mouldy relic with poor performance. You'll either love its stoic charm or hate its 'stink bomb' vibe.

About

A robust opening of tart grapefruit and crisp juniper sets a distinctly green and aromatic tone, quickly entwining with fresh cedar and petitgrain. The heart reveals a classic barbershop blend of clean lavender and spicy bay leaf, deepened by fir resin. This settles into a rich, earthy base of oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli, softened by leathery undertones and a hint of warm amber, musk, and more cedar.
