Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 89 Eau de Toilette

A quintessential barbershop fougère with a brisk citrus and lavender opening, refined florals, and a powdery, woody base. Understated, dignified, and supremely British, it is suited for those who value tradition and subtlety over trends.

Our Verdict - pour L'Homme Eau de Parfum

This 80s icon is a nutmeg-heavy, spicy-woody charmer, though reformulations mean its once legendary performance is now a shadow of its former self. Still, for those who appreciate a classic, it's a nostalgic trip that mostly holds up.

Season and Occasion Fit

No. 89 Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

The crisp citrus and aromatic freshness shine in spring and early summer, while the powdery woods and moss lend themselves to cool autumn days. It is less suited to heavy winter wear due to its lightness and low warmth.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Formal

Its clean, reserved projection and classic barbershop elegance make it ideal for office and formal settings. It is also a discreet yet sophisticated choice for casual wear, but lacks the energy and sportiness for gym or active occasions.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting scent make it entirely suitable for office and casual wear. While elegant, its spicy nature might be a bit much for very formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.
