Platinum 22

Platinum 22 by Floris is an unisex eau de parfum from 2022 in the niche price tier. It opens with orris root, blackcurrant and lime, moves into rose, violet leaf, clary sage, black tea and black pepper and dries down to cedarwood, amber, musk and tonka bean. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.

Dry-down

Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
