A timeless classic since its creation in 1979, Elite has been a beloved fragrance of the Floris family and continues to captivate devotees around the world. Named after ‘Lotion Elite,’ a Floris aftershave first featured in 1851, Elite began as a slow burn but steadily rose in popularity throughout the 1980s. Its patient rise to prominence stands as a testament to the art of perfumery, gaining loyal followers both at home and across Europe, where it has found a special resonance, particularly in Italy.
Elite opens with a refreshing blend of bergamot, lemon, and petitgrain, complemented by the crisp notes of cedar leaf, grapefruit, and juniper berry. The heart offers a warm, aromatic mix of bay, fir balsam, and lavender, creating a rich and inviting depth. The base lingers with sensual notes of amber, leather, cedarwood, moss, and patchouli, grounded by the earthy elegance of musk and vetiver. This sophisticated fragrance is one to return to, time and time again.
