About This Perfume
Think tropical fruit punch with peppery floral leather: that is Flavia Excellsus First. It opens with bergamot, black pepper and lemon, moves into freesia, jasmine and saffron and settles on amber, cedarwood and leather. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2023.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fruity and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: fruity is new territory for you.

The Brand
Flavia
Flavia is a fragrance house. Flavia on Scendira: 70 perfumes, about $15 at the low end and $130 at the top. Community talk that Scendira tracks centres on Flavia L'Impression, then Flavia Vanilla & Tobacco and Flavia Nouveau Ambre. The range also includes Privee No10 (clean citrus air, crisp petitgrain, soft musk) and Noir Orchidee (dark berry mandarin with creamy vanilla incense).
Inside the three picks
Flavia L'Impression (2023) opens with bergamot and ginger and ends on ambroxan and labdanum; overall it reads as cool citrus snap with a fresh aquatic breeze. For Flavia Vanilla & Tobacco (Eau de Parfum, 2023), expect smoky tobacco leaves, sweet vanilla and leather warmth: tobacco up top, coumarin underneath. Flavia Nouveau Ambre (Eau de Parfum) comes across as smoky amber and frankincense on dark rose, with saffron and raspberry at the start and amber, benzoin and frankincense at the base.
