Notes: Fragrantica doesn’t have notes for this one.

Year: 1919

The toilet water of this dominant, hearty, very British, aristocratic violet is lovely. The opening of the toilet water as compared to the other two following English Violet perfumes is the best of all of them. …I’d bet this bottle is likely from the 1980’s or early 1990’s.

Does this Floris have much sillage? No. You have to be close to snell it. But…it’s such a pretty perfume. It’s worth wearing even if I’m the only one who detects it.

A rare, ethereal beauty.

Notes: Fragrantica has no listed notes.

Year: 1919

Notes according to me: geranium, lily, vetiver, patchouli, and violet?? The most dominant note is violet. Everything else plays a background role to the violet.

This bath essence is intense as compared to the 1970’s edp. And it’s preferable, in a way. Because the drydown is far more pleasant, for one thing.

When I first received this one (all have boxes not shown) it was wrapped. It’s likely from the 1950’s. And opening it was…very bittersweet.

I intend to use this someday in a bath. Why not? Floris makes excellent bath essences…I’m sure this will still be lovely.
