Mellow woody notes of patchouli and vetiver are enlivened with a cool citrus twist of bergamot, grapefruit and lemon. This is punctuated in great interplay with the green resinous notes of cedar leaf and spicy juniper berry.

Lavender and fir balsam with a touch of bay are key to the character of the heart. Mossy notes then play a leading role as the fragrance evolves with amber, musk and a hint of leather in the base round off this timeless scent.

This Eau de Toilette is vegan.

A favorite of the Floris family since it was created in 1979 by the late Michael Bodenham, Elite is a fragrance to return to time and time again. Named after ‘Lotion Elite' – a Floris after shave cream which first featured in our catalogue in 1851. Elite was initially a slow burner in the Floris range and shows that patience in the art of perfume creation, really does pay off. Maintaining a few loyal followers, as the 1980s progressed, its admirers grew, both at home and across the continent, as exports to Europe increased. Elite has since gone on to become an icon among the Floris signature collection. It has found a second home among devotees across the world and particularly in Italy where the fragrance has gone from strength to strength and continues to maintain its popularity today, 40 years after it was launched.

"Elite is an expression of an elegant man, thoughtful and refined, with phlegmatic detachment: created in 1979, it has risen to the status of a masterpiece."

Silvio Levi | Pérfume by Calé

    I bought it because David Bowie wore it for decades and I was simply curious. It’s raucous when you first apply it, but after an hour, it has dried down to something extremely civilized and British smelling. It is definitely a masculine fragrance, but I wear it sometimes as I’ve noticed other women do as well. The trick is putting it on before you start getting ready to leave the house so it has time to smooth itself out! I’m so grateful that my curiosity about David Bowie has led me to one of the finest perfume houses in the world.
