Vert Fougère

7.3

Floris · 2019

Citrus · Green · Sweet

Floris Vert Fougère is a smoky, unisex fougère that pairs a cool green opening of grapefruit, bergamot and galbanum with a lavender and neroli heart. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, with longevity a little stronger. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, while summer sits in the background. Leisure, daily wear and evenings lead, and it also works at the office. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. It opens fresh with grapefruit and bergamot, while galbanum adds a sharp green edge. In the heart, ginger brings spice and lavender and neroli soften it. The base is led by patchouli, cedarwood, amber, cashmere and smoke, settling into an earthy, woody, slightly sweet finish. Zara Zara Winter Collection and Tom Ford Noir Anthracite have a close profile.

Golden Amber

5.8

Floris · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Floris Golden Amber is a unisex scent that opens with bergamot, fig and blackcurrant, carries rose and neroli in its heart, and settles on amber. The top pairs bergamot, fig, blackcurrant and aquatic notes for a fresh, fruity start. English rose, almond blossom, neroli and geranium give the heart a soft floral character. In the base, amber, patchouli, sandalwood and tonka bean sweeten and warm the scent; overall it balances fresh, aquatic and sweet, with a slightly synthetic edge. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close and is noticed without pushing into the room. It reads equally comfortably on men and women. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz and Câline À La Vie have a close profile.

The 300 Club

8.2

Floris · 2019

Citrus · Floral · Green

Floris The 300 Club is a unisex chypre that sets bright citrus against the dark, earthy weight of leather, moss and resins, with green and smoky edges; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters score each of them high, though the number of votes is small, so it is only a tendency. Being unisex, it reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. It opens with citrus notes, and floral notes in the heart soften them. Leather, resins and moss take over in the base, while spicy, woody and smoky accords run alongside. Alpa 378 (Voda po holení) and Bogue AG have a close profile.
