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 - Halston Z Eau de Toilette

A throwback to the golden age of masculine scents, Halston Z is a polarising beast. Some find it generic, others praise its rugged charm. If you're after something classically complex with a crisp, earthy edge, it's worth a punt, especially for the price.

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.

Halston Z Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Spring

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh, aromatic and woody character makes it versatile for casual and daytime wear, though its potentially 'rugged' and 'manly' nature, as described by some reviewers, might be a bit much for formal events. The decent projection and longevity reported means it can perform well in various settings without being overwhelming.
