Floris Elite Eau de Toilette is a fresh, citrusy fougère with a green, spicy and woody character and a leathery edge, and it reads as a men's fragrance.

What does Elite (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer close behind. It suits business and leisure wear best, with evening and night-out use less favoured. Voters call it masculine and classic.

It opens with petitgrain, bergamot, lemon and grapefruit alongside juniper berry and cedar leaf, a bright, green start. The heart brings fir balsam, lavender and laurel. In the base, vetiver, leather, patchouli and cedarwood set a woody foundation. Azzaro pour Homme and Drakkar Noir have a close profile.
