The story behind the bottle.
Islay by Floris is a fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake island in Scotland. Launched in 2018, it combines the smoky notes reminiscent of peaty whiskies with woody and powdery accords that evoke the rugged landscape. The composition opens with galbanum and bergamot, creating an aromatic freshness that gives way to a heart of orris and smoke, before settling into a base of patchouli, amber, cedar, sandalwood, musk, and vanilla. This fragrance is neither masculine nor feminine, embodying the lasting elegance and restraint for which Floris is known.
One spray is often enough to capture the essence of Islay. The smoky notes emerge quickly but are balanced by the woody base that lasts through the day. It’s best enjoyed close to skin, where its intricate layers unfold gradually.
