Imagine yourself basking in the warm glow of a golden sunset by the tranquil shores of Lake Garda, Italy. The soft lapping of the water gently soothes your senses as the sky transitions from brilliant gold to deep, mesmerising amber hues. It is a scene of serenity and timeless beauty, a destination adored by icons like Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh on their Italian lakeside retreats. Floris London’s latest creation, Golden Amber Eau de Parfum, captures this very essence, offering a luxurious olfactory journey that merges the warmth of Mediterranean summers with the refined elegance of English tradition.

Golden Amber embodies a unique blend of freshness and warmth, evoking the serene beauty of its Italian inspiration. This fragrance opens with a lively burst of bergamot and cassis, combined with the smooth, mellow scent of fig, and further enlivened by refreshing aquatic notes. It’s a bright and inviting introduction that captures the feeling of the sun's first rays on the shimmering waters of Lake Garda.

As the fragrance develops, a floral heart emerges, delicately composed of English rose, geranium, and neroli. These notes float like a gentle summer breeze, adding a touch of romance and nostalgia. The fragrance then gradually deepens into a rich and enveloping base, where the warmth of amber and tonka blends harmoniously with the earthy tones of patchouli and sandalwood, softened by the sweet hint of almond blossom.

The inspiration behind Golden Amber is as rich as the fragrance itself. Nicola Pozzani, a long-time perfumer for Floris London, found his muse in the breath-taking landscapes of his hometown, Lake Garda. Reflecting on the same vistas once cherished by legendary Floris patrons such as King Charles III, Winston Churchill, who wore Special No. 127 and Sir Lawrence Olivier, Pozzani imagined the cinematic and romantic moments these figures might have experienced—sipping on aperitifs at the luxurious Punta San Vigilio Hotel, contemplating the changing hues of the lake at dusk.

“Whilst on holiday at Lake Garda, I was intrigued to discover that the landscapes I was contemplating were also beloved sceneries of iconic Floris customers like Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh,” says Pozzani. “Golden Amber captures the essence of these moments, blending bright citrus and fruity notes with softer tones that represent both Mediterranean warmth and English elegance. Finally, I added enveloping woody amber strokes to reflect the serene transformation from day to night.”

Categorised under the Citrus Amber family, Golden Amber is a fragrance that not only tells a story but also invites you to become part of it. A Citrus Amber fragrance combines the bright, zesty freshness of citrus notes with the warm, rich depth of amber. This creates a balanced scent that is both invigorating and comforting, with the citrus providing an uplifting, lively top, while the amber adds a smooth, enveloping base that lingers with a sense of warmth and elegance. It's a versatile fragrance profile that suits both daytime vibrance and evening sophistication.
