The eponymous fragrance of Juan Famenias Floris, this signature men's fragrance has a vibrant, engaging, and gregarious character. A lively blend of zesty citrus notes invigorates and refreshes, a long lasting fragrance full of Floris flavour.

  |  (Cool Water comparisons are fairly straight on but I'll ignore that fact since there are major differences).Wonderful light and zesty citrus opening that lasts for the first 30 minutes of the life of this fragrance. The middle is a subtly sweet and refined. Not synthetic smelling, not abrasive, just all around pleasing. A sandalwood-ish drydown supports the overall experience making this a fresh but not over the top laundry/shower/I-just-cleaned-something scent. Ultimate class with a touch of youthfulness. Amazing. 25 September 2008 |

|  Coolnose is correct: after an initial blast of lemon, which to me is overly sweet hard-candy lemon, "J.F." becomes toilet cleaner. Pity the age in which we have been made prejudiced by an abundance of powerful cleaning products, but there you are. One is tempted to opine how this would have been a perfectly fine scent before the era of the modern household cleaner, but by the time of its creation in the 1990s, the new rules should have been apparent.19 September 2008 |
 | Floris JF has been my Floris fragrance of choice for quite some time. There is something profoundly dignified about JF that is difficult to put into words. Time and again I have been complimented by males and females alike. I have yet to find someone who dislikes the unique JF signature. Sheer class. 07 August 2008 |
  | A classico modern fragrance that combines zests - woods and greens in a sophisiticated cocktail that is full of life and energy. A real wave of sunshine in the morning that lasts all day - and this a plus for a zesty fragrance. Easy to wear am/pm - office - sport etc.... it will not carry its wearer and it will never give the wrong signals at a meeting An ageless winner in my taste A very strong thumb up Laurent 16 July 2008 |
 | I know Floris are the only true fragrance house left in the UK along with Penhaligons and Trumper, so there should be no excuses for a bad perfume. This starts out quite OK; fresh and citrussy. But then the most horrid thing happens, it turns into bathroom cleaner. In fact this is too astringent-smelling to be a fragrance. Floris, in 1993, should have known better. I'd never wear this. 28 December 2007 |

| This is very good and fresh, but with a slight twist in the heart: the artemisia and cypress here give a really strange woody accord; or possibly it's the "exotic woods" listed in the base. This scent reminds me (in a good way) of the stuff my granddad used to wear. It smells, masculine, refined, European, and ever so slightly bitter. I think its' a keeper! 11 October 2007 |
