The story behind the bottle.
Mahon Leather by Floris was launched in 2011, crafted by perfumer Shelagh Foyle. This fragrance is steeped in the brand’s tradition of elegance and sophistication, offering a complex interplay between warm spices, leather, and woody accords. The composition opens with citruses and jasmine, providing a bright yet subtle top note that gives way to richer layers of iris and saffron. As it settles into its base notes, the fragrance reveals a deep, animalic musk intertwined with vetiver, sandalwood, tonka bean, amber, French labdanum, and patchouli, creating an earthy and enveloping warmth.
Mahon Leather is best applied in layers to allow its complex notes to develop fully. The top notes are fleeting, so aim for two sprays initially; as it dries down, you'll notice the deeper leather and woody accords taking center stage. This fragrance leans warm, making it ideal for cooler evenings or layered under a jacket.
