Item Description
The sun slants in through the windows, awakening you from your slumber. Blearily, you walk down the spiral staircase to the dining room. A maid brings you juice and coffee; off to the side, your butler is ironing the morning paper. The scent of the crisp paper, packed full of financial figures, wafts through the air. After breakfast, you retire to the library for some reading. The scent of the thousands of old tomes permeates the space; dusty, dry, knowledge accumulated over the centuries.
Later, you fall into an old leather chair, soft and rich. You light a fine cigar, pour a cognac, and ponder the vicissitudes of fate that have brought you to this point in your life. Powerful, decadent, arrogant, you are master of the world.
Floris Sandalwood is one of the most artful scents I have come across in quite a while. When you spray it on, it is difficult to detect much of anything. You are immediately perturbed that you shelled out $70 for a bottle of juice that you cannot even smell. After a while, you begin to detect hints of something. Spice, wood, musty notes drift out. There are no high notes, citrus, etc, to balance out the sandalwood. Wearing this makes you feel great. It is not a scent you wear for others, though I am sure women would really appreciate it when pulled close for an intimate encounter. The scent stays incredibly close to the body. It is subtle, masculine, and wonderful - not for those who like to shout their scents outward to all nearby. It is a bit redolent of Brooks Brothers 1818, but even more dry, subtle, and woody. Really a unique take on sandalwood. Highly recommended.
