Seringa is a sophisticated, fresh, floral fragrance based on the scent of syringa flower.

Cold, green, airy notes of violet with citrusy nuance open the composition and lead into a fresh, floral heart composed of jasmine, rose, ylang, spiced with carnation.A base features wood and moss: patchouli, moss, hint of Frankinsence, sweetened with Tonka beans, musk and vanilla. The perfume was created in 1992.

    There seems to be some confusion on what Seringa is. In horticulture plants, shrubs and trees have universal Latin names to prevent the confusion. The photo implies Seringa is what is called Philadelphus or Mock Orange Blossom.
    Syringa is the Latin name for the lilac genus. You can now probably see why there is some confusion.
    Its even more puzzling that a British Perfumery has encouraged that confusion.

    I’ve got to buy this. I have 3 different mock orange blossom shrubs so I’m a bit of a fan. I will return with my impression. I do hope it captures the flowers heavenly scent.

    Soapy, fresh, clean, bright, white flowers, breezy. I love this fragrance – why do they discontinue my favorites?

    Sherapop, seringa flowers do exist and smell amazing (a bit similar to honeysuckle), the plants are bushes and the Latin name is Philadelphus coronarius. Floris Seringa is a very true to life rendition of their smell. And no, it’s not sweet.

    I wonder whether there might be batch problems with Floris Seringa? I ask because some reviewers have described this perfume as sweet, while to my nose it could not be farther from that! To me, Seringa is a straightforward soapy green floral.
    I was wondering whether I had ever smelled seringa flower before, but then when I read the house card to which my vial was affixed, I learned that “seringa” is a fictional flower in perfumery, also known as “mock orange blossom”! No wonder there are so few “seringa soliflores”!
    To be honest, the floral facet of seringa does not really smell like orange blossom to me. It smells like a combination of jasmine and rose and a huge pile of assorted other petals. More than anything this composition is soapy and green and clean. But the flowers cannot be denied, even if they cannot be identified!

    I think the EDT captures the idea of this perfume, which is quite a unique orange blossom ‘statement’ with a lot of aldehydes and good projection. However it feels like a cheap version of something much finer, like a drugstore knockoff of an original couture perfume (I’m thinking of Je Reviens vs Je Reviens Couture here, although it smells nothing like Seringa except in the uniqueness of the pairing of the natural floral with complementary synthesized molecules). I am wondering if the Eau de Parfum version is better. I’ve noticed that Edwardian Bouquet smells like a gorgeous well composed floral in EDP but in EDT it’s a little hollow and turns sickly and sweet for about a half hour before settling into a thin and powdery floral drydown. It’s as if they use completely different formulas–expensive high quality molecules for the EDP and cheap ones for the EDTs. I guess they have to make money somehow.
    UPDATE: Current EDP is very synthetic and clean, like dryer sheets evolving into more dryer sheets. Must be a lot of white musks, it’s like a tour of modern white musks with some green on top. Feels like tonalide, ambretollide, a touch of allyl amyl glycolide, maybe some others–not soft, diffusive and warm but thick, clean and starched white. You don’t smell like skin with this stuff–not even clean skin. Like wearing freshly washed laundry from an institution, maybe a sanatorium. Bleached, but also pushing people away–this is for someone who DOESN’T want others to get too close. Unless you are anosmic. The vintage EDT (old formula) is an orange blossom and musk, but its a skin musk. The feeling is more like a Contintental after-shave, it’s sheerer, less synthetic, and layers well with other fragrances. Try to get some if you can!

    Smells a bit strange if you’ve left it in the bottle for about 7 years :B

    I bought this years ago in a quaint little shop on Nantucket Island. In the summer, the island is a beautiful place filled with cottages, climbing roses, sea views and bicycling children. There is always a salty breeze and on a walk into town I encounter masses of flowers everywhere I look. This is a special place, and I wanted to remember it with a special perfume. Seringa is not your typical perfume, as Nantucket is not your typical island. Boldly floral, the green notes reinforce the idea that you are smelling a garden in all of its riotous bounty. Having finished my bottle, I have not smelled it in years… But I just ordered some to bring back the memory of those lovely summer days. As an aside, I was told by a few people that Princess Diana wore this fragrance. I like to think that she felt as lovely and light-hearted as I did when wearing it.

    This is a cross between Chanel No. 5 edt and Cristalle edp, at least according to my nose. I got it blindly, and sprayed it once… it’s too much of what I already have… The silage is very nice, the lasting power excellent. The box and bottle are lovely… too bad it’s not more original… but it’s a very nice scent, if you don’t already own the other two I mentioned. I don’t get the metallic smell in it, just a very clean, classy green floral that dries down hours later somewhat sweet but not too much, and smells expensive. It leaves exacly the same impression that Cristalle does, although I like that one a bit more because of the citrus. A little too crisp for my taste…elegant but distant and cold. Another ones that reminds me of this is Eau de Camille from A. Goutal…
    I suppose I should get over trying “greens”… they are too similar to me, or my nose doesn’t have the capacity of discerning the differences….

    A sour-sweet composition reminiscent of Halston for Women, but without Halston’s cheeky chic, Syringa is one of my least-liked offerings from Floris. It comes on too strong, is very harsh and almost metallic in the mid-range, and dries to a sugary mess. Floris has much better scents in their range; best to skip this one.
