The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Purple Mémoire by Floris is a Floral fragrance for women and men that was launched in 2025, created by perfumers Penny Ellis and Nicola Pozzani. This scent opens with a bright and fresh blend of citrus and lavender, which gives way to the soft florals of violet, cyclamen, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The base notes of cacao, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood, vanilla, labdanum, and musk create a warm and enveloping finish that is both comforting and sophisticated. Purple Mémoire seamlessly blends Floris's heritage of elegance with modern perfumery techniques, making it a lasting addition to the brand's collection.

How to wear it

Apply Purple Mémoire to your pulse points for the best longevity. The citrus opening is bright but fades quickly, so rely on the warm base notes that develop over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
