Floris London Zinnia is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1990. Zinnia opens with Violet Leaf and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Lily of the Valley, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. Floris London's Zinnia carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit Jekyll and Hyde - a divisive green floral that some find fleeting and reminiscent of CK Eternity, while others praise its hidden warmth and undeniable feminine allure. Test it first to see which side of the Zinnia coin you land on.

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

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its often delicate sillage and clean, floral character make it perfectly suited for office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. Despite some reviews praising its 'animal attraction', its general 'skin scent' reputation means it won't overwhelm on a date or formal event.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Zinnia opens with a brisk, green burst of violet leaf and galbanum, like snipping fresh garden stems. It then softens into a powdery floral heart where rose, iris, and lily of the valley intertwine. The drydown reveals a creamy base of vanilla, heliotrope, and a touch of musk, grounding the floral warmth with a subtle, woody sweetness.
