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 - Oceania Eau de Parfum

Oceania is a supremely divisive one, praised by some as a fizzy, high-quality citrus masterpiece perfect for summer, while others label it an overpriced, generic cleaner or baby wipe scent. It’s either a freshie triumph or a total rip-off - there’s no middle ground here.

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.

Oceania Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear and sport, preventing it from being too heavy. However, its often-criticised average performance means it's less ideal for formal events where longevity is key. The clean nature makes it acceptable for office wear, but less impactful for a date.
