Sandalwood unisex
Floris is one of the oldest fragrance houses in the world, founded in London in 1730 and still operating from its original location on Jermyn Street. The brand has maintained a reputation for quality and restraint, focusing on clean, wearable fragrances rather than novelty or trend-chasing. Sandalwood represents a modern addition to their classical lineup, arriving in 2024 as a unisex offering.
The fragrance opens with cardamom and black pepper over bergamot and rose, creating an immediately warm and slightly dry top that avoids excessive sweetness. The heart develops through orris and star anise, which adds an herbal, almost licorice-like quality that bridges the spicy opening toward the base. Sandalwood anchors the composition alongside musk and patchouli, creating a creamy, woody foundation that's neither too soft nor aggressively aromatic. The overall profile leans amber-woody with enough citrus and spice to keep it lively rather than purely smooth.
This is a fragrance for someone seeking substance without pretension, balancing woody warmth with aromatic complexity. It works well as a personal scent for everyday wear, though it has enough depth to suit cooler months or evening occasions. The unisex positioning is genuine rather than marketing speak, appealing equally to those who gravitate toward The Homesteader, The Tactician, and The Romantic.
