When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
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.

Best 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.

About

No. 89 opens with a brisk and aromatic blend of bergamot, orange, and lavender, evoking the air of an English barbershop. The heart reveals powdery rose and geranium, softened by neroli and nutmeg, creating an elegant floral interplay. The drydown unfolds with classic notes of sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, and a generous dose of oakmoss, all cushioned by clean musk. The composition is dignified, dry, and powdery, projecting elegance and restraint. It is a masterclass in understated masculinity, beloved by gentlemen who appreciate heritage and quiet confidence.
