By the editors · 2 min readFlorissa opens with a dewy green brightness—lily of the valley and fresh-cut grass meeting jasmine in a way that feels like stepping into an English garden just after rain. The florals are clean rather than heady, kept transparent by that grassy sharpness. It has the lightness of a cologne but with more staying power than you'd expect from something this airy.
As it settles, oakmoss and cedar provide a soft, woody foundation that grounds the flowers without weighing them down. The musk is barely perceptible, more textural than animalic. This is old-school Floris restraint—nothing shouts, nothing overwrites the delicate green-floral balance at its center.
It suits someone who wants florals without sweetness, who appreciates traditional construction but finds heavy chypres too formal. Florissa feels polite, daylit, closer to eau fraîche than perfume extract, but with a mossy base that keeps it from disappearing entirely.
