Madonna of the Almonds

by Shelagh Foyle

Floris London Madonna of the Almonds is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Shelagh Foyle. Madonna of the Almonds opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Almond, Almond Blossom, Jasmine, and Fruity, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, and Incense. Floris London's Madonna of the Almonds carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one is a divisive brew. Some find Madonna of the Almonds a beautifully nuanced, sophisticated almond gourmand; others reckon it's a muddled, dated mess. You truly won't know until you spray it on your skin. Tread carefully with a full bottle blind buy.

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

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its moderate sillage and longevity, it's suitable for various settings, though perhaps a bit too cosy for a high-intensity office environment. The sweet, warm almond and fruity accords make it a lovely choice for dates or more intimate casual wear, while its underlying sophistication works for formal events.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly transitioning to a creamy heart where warm almond and almond blossom entwine with sweet vanilla and subtle spice. Juicy fruity notes and delicate jasmine add depth, while a musky, woody base of sandalwood and incense provides a soft landing. It's a complex, sweet, and comforting scent journey.
