Floris No. 89 - The art of restraint
A classically elegant gentleman's fragrance with floral, spicy notes. It opens very aromatically and is reminiscent of the distinctive smell of a spice store. In my opinion, the floral heart notes, which merge with the spices after a while, are the highlight of this fragrance. The result is a delicate, fine fragrance that lingers on the skin and exudes an elegant, intimate aura.
For me, No. 89 Eau de Toilette was a blind buy and my first classic fragrance, which I find quite acceptable at a price of around EUR 60 for 100 ml. At first, I was a little overwhelmed by the spicy opening - but I think that as a newcomer, you get used to it over time and come to like it.
I like to see No. 89 Eau de Toilette as a "classic alternative" to the well-known L'Homme, even if the two fragrances differ somewhat in their scent notes and development. If you are looking for a fragrance with soapy attributes and are taken with L'Homme, you could find what you are looking for in No. 89 Eau de Toilette.
Was it a good blind buy? Yes, I think so. Anyone who likes fragrances with a soft, floral character and a spicy opening, likes to dress smartly and wants to feel a bit like James Bond will also like this perfume.
In terms of seasonality, the fragrance is a great all-year-rounder in my opinion (provided the winter is snow-free and more like a gray autumn), as it exudes a certain warmth through the spice and a certain freshness through the floral heart notes.
From my point of view, No. 89 Eau de Toilette is perfect for the workplace with its relatively short lasting and unobtrusive nature. After three hours, it is still pleasantly perceptible to others in the vicinity, I myself quickly become nose-blind.
All in all, I think No. 89 Eau de Toilette is a wonderfully pleasant and elegant fragrance with a unique character that has truly earned its place in the collection.
