Floris London
Fragrance sample - Floris London - Purple Mémoire - Eau de Parfum
Purple Mémoire is a sophisticated fragrance that opens with a fresh top note of aromatic lavender, bergamot, mandarin and a hint of coriander. The soft floral heart note unfolds with calming lavender and warm jasmine, with rich notes of white flowers, green cyclamen and gentle orris. A sensual base of amber, creamy sandalwood, rich labdanum and powdery musk, layered with the soothing notes of vanilla and tonka bean, gently conclude the fragrance.
Distant memories left to time and faint summer feelings bring out the beauty of Purple Mémoire. A tribute to the English charm of Ivy Lodge, the family home of Mary Anne Floris and James R.D. Bodenham for more than 50 years in the late 1800s. Ivy Lodge was a union of love and devotion, surrounded by sprawling gardens in harmony with nature, lavender scents swaying in the gentle breeze, and treasured herb gardens of coriander. Their fragrant scent greets you even before you arrive at Dear Old Ivy Lodge.
Mary Anne and James acquired the family business in 1878 with the intention of bringing elements of home to the bustling center of London, perfectly capturing the olfactory feel of family summers and the sensation of vibrant flora spreading under warm, sunlit skies.
