Create harmony in your fragrance wardrobe with our in house perfumer Roberta Ion. At Floris London, we believe a well-chosen fragrance has the power to elevate your day and transform your evening. Whether you lean towards fresh and light scents or prefer deep, warm, and mysterious fragrances, finding the perfect pair can enhance your experience. Our in-house perfumer, Roberta Ion, has shared her expert recommendations on how to curate your personal fragrance wardrobe with complementary day and evening scents.

Roberta’s approach is simple yet refined: “I usually prefer my evening fragrances to be slightly more intense than the day ones—and I think many people are in this situation where they want something fresh and light for work and something intense and warm for the evenings.” With this in mind, she’s crafted several delightful fragrance pairings for every occasion.

For Roberta, there’s one scent that holds a special place in her heart: Mulberry Fig . “This is such a comforting, all-year-around fragrance for me. From the green cooling notes of cardamom and fig opening the creamy heart of orris and coconut, to the lingering texture of sandalwood and amber, Mulberry Fig smells like pure happiness.”

To create a striking day-to-night transition, she suggests pairing the comfort of Mulberry Fig for the day with Platinum 22 for the evening. While Mulberry Fig offers a green and calming experience during the day, Platinum 22 brings a daring, distinguished edge to your evenings. It’s the perfect balance for someone seeking a non-gendered pairing that moves from comforting to bold.

Another unisex combination Roberta recommends starts with Cefiro for daytime. With its fresh and citrusy blend, Cefiro is ideal for a busy day at work or casual outings. In the evening, you can switch to Soulle Ámbar , a warm, resinous fragrance with a touch of spice that lingers beautifully. This duo is both versatile and unique, taking you from the lightness of morning to the depth of night with ease.

Roberta has also curated some delightful suggestions for those who adore florals. Her first pairing starts with Bouquet de la Reine and transitions to Chypress for evening soirées.

"For unequalled floral elegance, Bouquet de la Reine, taking inspiration from Queen Victoria’s wedding fragrance, is the perfect choice for a crisp blend of floral and fruitiness for daytime. For the evenings, Chypress is an enveloping scent, taking inspiration from the sophisticated beauty and understated elegance of the Floris customer. A truly classic pairing."

If you prefer a white floral scent, try Night Scented Jasmine to Tuberose in Silk.

"White florals have a heady quality that makes us want to go back and smell their scent again and again. They are delicate with a deep lingering sensuality. To better enjoy the complexity of the white florals, I suggest using Night Scented Jasmine during the day. Inspired by Mediterranean gardens at night, this floral green fragrance is like a cooling breeze of jasmine. Tuberose in Silk is a voluptuous green floral scent that pairs the rich and green tuberose with the warm and enveloping combination of amber, benzoin, and musk. The addition of pink pepper in the heart of the fragrance gives it a dynamic twist which captivates throughout the evening."

For those with an affinity for rose scents, Roberta has the perfect suggestion. Start your day with the timeless charm of Red Rose , which is soft and romantic, evoking a classic elegance. For an evening alternative, step into the world of A Rose For… , a richer, more luxurious take on the flower, designed to linger and captivate.

Gentlemen, your fragrance wardrobe can also benefit from Roberta’s expert pairings. For a refined, classic combination, consider starting the day with the crisp sophistication of 71/72 . This scent offers a balance of fresh citrus and woody notes. As night falls, indulge in the richness of Leather Oud , a smoky, leathery fragrance that exudes confidence and mystery.

Another day-to-night pairing for men is the bright and zesty Jermyn Street, transition to Vetiver.

"Vetiver in perfumery is extracted from the roots of a grass which originally comes from India, and is most prominently featured in two of my favourite Floris fragrances. Jermyn Street highlights the green facet of the vetiver, in a bright citrus composition of mandarin and violet, with aromatic coriander and juniper berry in the heart. An elegant fragrance, hinting to the fresh crisp scent of freshly tailored clothes. From our ledger series, Vetiver is a woody aromatic interpretation of the ingredient it takes its name after. The scent brings out the warm and earthy facet of the root, in this sophisticated pairing alongside patchouli, frankincense and tonka bean."

"For those who prefer the freshness of citruses, Limes is an excellent choice for a day fragrance. One of the earliest creations from the Floris portfolio, it brings a burst of zesty citrus notes, accompanied by the dry and green notes of petitgrain, for an invigorating start of the day. No. 89 perfectly blends the citrus theme with a classic floral bouquet at the heart, supported by lingering woody base notes, an iconic scent for the stylish gentlemen."
