Floris London 1951 EDT
No. 89
Floris London No. 89 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1951. No. 89 opens with Bergamot, Orange, Petitgrain, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Floris London's No. 89 carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
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
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.
