Bottle drawn in the shade of the fragrance
No. 89
Eau de toilette · 1951
The toilet water of a Jermyn Street gentleman, born in 1951 at number 89.
No. 89 has the crispness of a tailored shirt. Bergamot, orange and petitgrain open on a cologne-like freshness, softened by lavender and neroli and warmed by a hint of nutmeg.
At heart, rose, geranium and ylang-ylang stay in the background; it is the base that gives the fragrance its bearing: sandalwood, cedar and vetiver, underlined by oakmoss and musk. An English classic, sober and impeccably composed, worn like a flannel suit.

No. 89 in detail
Since 1730, Floris has carried on a quietly elegant English perfumery at 89 Jermyn Street in London. No. 89, an eau de toilette created in 1951, bears the number of that address: a fragrance of tradition, built with the rigour of the great masculine classics.
Its official pyramid is one of the most complete in our catalogue. At the top, bergamot, lavender, neroli, nutmeg, orange and bitter orange leaves make for a fresh, aromatic opening. The heart brings together geranium, rose and ylang-ylang. The base of cedarwood, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood and vetiver gives it its woody foundation.
No. 89 is a daytime fragrance, from spring to autumn: a working day, a meeting, a lunch.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its base: Vétiver Extraordinaire by Frédéric Malle brings together bergamot, vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood, oakmoss and musk; Rehab by Initio Parfums Privés takes up bergamot, lavender, cedarwood and sandalwood; Drunk Lovers by Born To Stand Out pairs bergamot, cedarwood, sandalwood and vetiver.
