All about this fragrance

Vibe check

The morning is already slipping into afternoon, your hair is still damp, and there is no need to hurry out the door. Floating’s peach brightness and crisp-linen softness suit this private, unstructured tempo: a quietly sensual presence that feels more like freshly washed skin than deliberate dressing up.

How to wear

The transparent fruit, linen and musk profile lends itself to mild spring days and warmer weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin for a restrained effect; allow the peach and bergamot opening to settle before adding more. The soft woody base gives the airy composition a gentle anchor.

Who it’s for

For those drawn to skin-like musks, crisp-linen accords and understated woods, with a little fruit rather than dessert-like sweetness. Its transparent, lightly powdery character suits pared-back tastes and an interest in sensuality without heavy floral or amber richness.

Liis’s story

Liis treats fragrance as a medium for personal memories and emotions rather than a fixed narrative. Founded by Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin, the California house creates minimalist, genderless compositions designed for everyday, second-skin wear, leaving room for the wearer’s own interpretation.

Floating’s concept

Floating takes its cue from a day without plans or obligations: freshly bathed skin, still-damp hair and the anticipation of warmer weather. Peach and bergamot convey that initial lift, while wild orchid, crisp linen and sequoia wood give the idea of weightlessness a soft, tactile foundation.

Extra info

The name Liis combines letters shared by founders Leslie and Alissa’s first names. Floating shares the house’s spherical white bottle cap, whose clicking mechanism required extensive development.
