Yeah, where is it?
Floris No. 89 also!
After I had sought contact with Agent 007 in February 2020, it was not long before I came across the Floris brand.
Floris No. 89 is the perfume Ian Fleming liked to wear, so Floris belongs to the category "Holy Grail" in the Bond fandom (which I learned to appreciate with Sean Connery and Daniel Craig.
Since I am still a little younger, the UVP of 98,00 Euro has deterred me... "How am I going to tell my mother?" After gentle mentions of an old, English perfume house, my mother became curious, too, and we ordered some scent samples; No. 89 and Neroli Voyage for me and Bouquet de la Reine and Cefiro for my mother.
A week passed, then finally the package arrived and I could test No. 89.
I sprayed a bump on my wrist and smelled the top note:
Slightly lemony, and fresh because of Neroli. Nutmeg went down.
After 20 minutes to half an hour I smelled the heart and it was very flowery until the drydown came: Woody, spicy, like a gentleman!
Just the way I like it
That was the smell test, followed by three shelf life tests, all of which, with 8-10 hours on my skin, were extremely above average for an EDT.
The sillage is less strong than the shelf life, which doesn't take anything away from the fragrance, because I think that the fragrance is something that should discreetly suggest the impression of the gentleman from England.
Conclusion:
Meanwhile I have a 100ml bottle in my closet and No. 89 has become THE perfume for me.
Durability is top! (I usually spray the scent at about 7 o'clock and can still smell it on myself at 4 o'clock now!), Sillage is mediocre, but not bad and the scent certainly not for everyone!
I hope I was able to raise the appetite for this great EDT with my first comment on Parfumo!

"Gotta get outta here..."... wild!
The line from the commercial has been floating in my head for a long time, more specifically: since the release of Sauvage. Johnny Depp in the desert, spade, digging a hole, jewellery in and in the background some tootling and a smoky...
