Floris has been making fragrances since 1730 in London's Jermyn Street, and Cefiro, released in 2001, represents the house's take on fresh citrus with classical restraint. The fragrance steers clear of modern fruity sweetness in favor of a more austere, aromatic interpretation of the genre.

Cefiro opens with a bright citrus blend of bergamot, Amalfi lemon, orange, mandarin, and lime that's clean without being sharp. The heart introduces jasmine alongside warming spice notes of nutmeg and cardamom, adding subtle depth to the citrus. The base settles into woody terrain with sandalwood, Virginia cedar, and a touch of musk, grounding the composition in a dry, mineral finish. The overall effect is aromatic and somewhat woody, avoiding the overly fresh or gourmand routes that many citrus fragrances take.

This is a fragrance for someone who wants citrus that leans intellectual rather than summery. It works year-round and performs equally well in professional settings or casual daytime wear. If you gravitate toward The Tactician, The Homesteader, and The Aristocrat, Cefiro should appeal to your sensibilities.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Amalfi Lemon
Amalfi Lemon
Grown on the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi lemons are unusually large and fragrant with a particularly sweet, aromatic rind and minimal bitterness. In perfumery they represent the idealized Italian lemon experience: luminous, floral-citrus, and vivid. The benchmark for high-quality lemon notes in classic Mediterranean fragrances.
Orange
Orange
Warm, round, and familiar, sweet orange is the most approachable of the citrus family. In perfumery it reads as sunlit and optimistic, with a gentle warmth that stops short of heaviness. Orange is frequently used to smooth and soften citrus openings, adding a natural sweetness that makes compositions feel immediately welcoming.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Lime
Lime
Crisper and greener than lemon, with a faint bitterness that keeps it from smelling like a cocktail mixer. Lime zest has a raw, almost herbaceous quality that pairs naturally with aquatic and green accords. It signals freshness and informality, the note of beach bars and gym-fresh colognes.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Nutmeg
Nutmeg
Warm, woody, and softly spiced with a slight sweetness that makes it gentler than clove or pepper. Nutmeg adds a quiet, autumnal warmth to fragrances without sharpness. It blends seamlessly into woody and oriental bases, acting more as a supporting character than a lead note.
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Virginia Cedar
Virginia Cedar
Warm, slightly sweet, and clean, Virginia cedarwood is the most commonly used cedar in mainstream perfumery. It has a familiar, pencil-cedar smell with a soft warmth that makes it universally approachable. Less assertive than Atlas cedar, it acts as a quiet, reliable base note in hundreds of commercial fragrances.
