Elite Floris for men

I don't know what type of elite they were referring to at Floris, but this is anything but elitist. A so and so concoction of citruses and aromatic herbs laying on a mossy/woody base enriched by vetiver and hints of tuberose. I also get a barberhop vibe that in this context gives an unpleasant feel of aging. A fragrance of very very little interest.

Rating: 4/10

I don't like this fragance. I bough it without realy smelling it! A mistake !!! :0(

Upon suggestion by a very nice and outstandingly competent member here I blind bought this. And I must say Floris Elite is worth every buck.
The opening is flowery and joyful, the juniper and the grapefruit give it a slightly bitter but very warm note. It has something a bit old fashioned, but in a dignified way, like a good old British oldtimer car. It is not arrogant and not even specially sexy.
With time the bitterness grows, lavender but foremost fir bring a serious note. Nostalgia, the old times were exquisite, but are gone now.
The drydown on my skin is more common, basically musk and patchouli, it conserves a bitter sweetness. The lavender loses more and more its capacity to keep everything dynamic. With time the scent is more and more unisex.
I would recommend Elite to men above 30 who don't need a fragrance to disseminate information about their hormonal excellence, and who prefer one which tells about their intelligence, kindness, humour, culture, and a slight general sadness which comes with knowing the workings of life.
