Liis Floating EDP
Description
Floating captures the quiet pleasure of a day without plans. Created by Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin for their Brooklyn-based house Liis, it opens on ripe peach and bergamot that feel bright and effervescent, then drifts into wild orchid before settling on crisp linen and sequoia wood. The effect is weightless — clean and warm without being sweet, woody without being heavy. Made with organic sugarcane alcohol and launched in 2022, it is one of the simpler compositions in the Liis range: a handful of notes doing exactly what they need to and nothing more.
Scent Character
- Woody (sequoia wood)
- Fruity (peach)
- Fresh (bergamot, linen)
- Floral (wild orchid)
Translation: a clean, sun-warmed composition — bright fruit and citrus on top, a single quiet floral in the middle, and dry wood and fresh linen underneath. Simple, airy and skin-close.
Fragrance Pyramid
- Top: Peach, Bergamot
- Heart: Wild Orchid
- Base: Linen, Sequoia Wood
Note: Liis presents the notes as a flat list rather than a traditional pyramid. The tier grouping here follows the structure described in the fragrance’s marketing and reflects how the scent develops on skin.
Performance
Longevity: Moderate — expect roughly 4–6 hours on skin.
Sillage: Gentle and close to the skin.
Projection: 1–2 feet for the first half hour, then a personal-space scent.
An honest note: Floating is built to sit close and feel weightless, not to project across a room. The peach and bergamot top notes are the loudest part and they fade first. If you want a scent that announces itself, this is not that — it is a quiet, intimate wear.
