What's the deal with Floris? - Page 2
Question:
Sandalwood and Elite are my favourites. Didn't like Santal at all.

I would look for myself, but I just took the movie back to Blockbuster. I suppose the bottles of the two brands look rather similiar.

Answer:
I remember coming upon my 1st Floris sample and thinking the same thing...WTF, where has this line been all of my life. I had NEVER heard of them before.
I tried CEFIRO and I remember liking it - it had a 'Sweet Tarts' note in it that a few other BN mention in other scents. A kind of confectionary fruity sugar smell...but softly sweet, not overdone. And really fresh smelling...Sorry not a good description but I would recommend.

Answer:
Floris Vetiver is one of the finest scents of its type. I find the tradtional line (Vetiver, No. 89, Special No.127 and Sandalwood) to be the company's best offerings, but I also quite like Elite and, to a lesser extent, Santal. For anyone who is a traditional wetshaver, their line of shave soaps are superb, though quite pricy.

Answer:
I see the replies are divided on Santal, so I'll weigh in. I have had this one for a long time and I really like it for daytime wear. I find it a little light-weight for evening occasions. It's the only Floris I've ever smelled.

Answer:
I will definitely check Eau de Santal out. Thanks!

A rather sweet, woody fragrance with patchouli and a touch of black
peppercorns. I like it, and I think it's a rip-off of Gucci Envy, but
perhaps better.
I think the Floris line is pretty good, and the accompanying shower gels
were excellent, though I think now discontinued. Santal, and JF are the
two I own bottles of, but I would enjoy trying No. 89 and I am told
that their Vetiver is good. I think Cefiro is a nice grapefruity citrus, but
not particularly special. The EdP is better than the EdT, though.
Elite is an unusual fragrance, which some love, but others must surely
dislike. It's a "dirty" tuberose. Unorthodox, but interesting.
I think this house is worth investigating, and I wish their products
were easier to find.

Answer:
I'm surprised to see the lack of love for Santal. I have had more positive feedback when I wore that one than any other frag in the last few years, and I dig on it myself. It will be a fixture for me for a long time.
I've also got JF and Elite. I will have the JF in the summer rotation for sure. Elite, I am not so sure about. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I feel the need to wash it off.
