Floris London Stephanotis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1786. Stephanotis opens with Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Stephanotis, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Powdery, and Sandalwood. Floris London's Stephanotis carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Floris Stephanotis is a divisive classic - you'll either swoon over its opulent, soapy white floral bouquet or find it overwhelmingly heady. It's a grand, old-school scent designed for those who embrace drama and tradition, but be warned, it's not shy.

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.

Its potent, 'strong and long lasting' nature, as noted by reviewers, makes it less suited for casual or office wear where subtlety is key. However, its 'classy, formal' and 'sophisticated' character, along with its 'wedding day' association, makes it perfect for formal events where a statement scent is desired.

About

Stephanotis opens with a vibrant burst of orange blossom before cascading into a rich heart of lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and the eponymous stephanotis - a creamy, potent white floral that's both sweet and green. A subtle peppery kick from coriander and carnation adds a refined spiciness, preventing it from becoming overly sweet. It settles into a soft, comforting base of powdery notes, musk, and sandalwood, evoking a sense of classic elegance and clean, luxurious soapiness.
