Floris Santal Eau de Toilette 50ml & 100ml
Warm, creamy, and timelessly refined — Floris Santal Eau de Toilette is a sophisticated woody aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of rich, sun-warmed sandalwood at its most elegant. From Floris London — the world's oldest surviving perfume house, established on Jermyn Street in 1730 — Santal is a masterclass in classic British perfumery: precise, beautifully balanced, and built to wear with quiet authority.
This is a fragrance of genuine depth and versatility — a spiced woody aromatic that opens with bergamot-cardamom brightness, settles into a warm sandalwood-cedarwood heart, and dries down to a rich, earthy vetiver and tonka bean base. Equally at home in the office as it is on an evening out. Available in 50ml and 100ml.

Why It Works
Floris Santal works because it understands sandalwood — not as a supporting note, but as the centrepiece of the composition. The bergamot-cardamom-pepper opening is bright and engaging without being sharp; the sandalwood-cedarwood-violet heart is warm, creamy, and beautifully rounded; and the vetiver-tonka bean base gives it an earthy, slightly sweet depth that ensures it wears with real longevity and character. This is a fragrance of genuine craft and heritage — complex without being difficult, classic without being dated. For UK fragrance enthusiasts searching for a classic British sandalwood EDT, a woody aromatic fragrance, a Floris London perfume, or simply a sophisticated everyday fragrance with real heritage and depth, Santal is an exceptional choice.
How to Wear It
Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, and chest — after showering. Apply to clean, dry skin for optimal performance. Two to three sprays are sufficient; the woody aromatic composition provides long-lasting sophistication throughout the day.
