Elite

A complex fragrance with lasting appeal and a British character, both fresh and woody. Soft woody notes of patchouli and vetiver are enlivened by a cool citrus note of bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon. These are joined by green, resinous notes of cedar leaf and spicy juniper berry, creating an enchanting interplay.

Lavender and balsam fir with a hint of bay leaf define the heart note. Mossy notes then take center stage throughout the fragrance. Amber, musk, and a hint of leather in the base round out this timeless fragrance.

This eau de toilette is vegan.

Since its creation in 1979 by the late Michael Bodenham, Elite has been a favorite fragrance of the Floris family, one to which people return time and again. Named after "Lotion Elite"—a Floris shaving cream that first appeared in our catalog in 1851, Elite was initially a long-time favorite in the Floris range, demonstrating that patience truly pays off in the art of perfume creation. Throughout the 1980s, it had a small, loyal following, and its admirers grew in number, both at home and on the continent, as exports to Europe increased.

Elite has now become an icon of the Floris collection. It has found a second home among fans all over the world, especially in Italy, where the fragrance grew in popularity and remains so today, 40 years after its launch.
