Item Description
Price: For almost $90 a 100 ml bottle, Floris No. 89 is pretty steep. But when compared to some other perfume houses (Creed, Penhaligon's, etc) you actually are getting a reasonable deal. The other factors in Floris No. 89 make it worth forking over the money.
Quality: For $90 I better get good quality! Just kidding.
As all Floris products I have encountered, No. 89 meets great standards.
Packaging: Not as ostentatious as Pen's boxes, the packaging is simple and sturdy. The glass bottle is simple in its elegance.
Scent/Complexity/Staying Power: This is why I love Floris No. 89. For awhile, I stuck to only Hammam Bouquet when I wanted something floral. I have a love-hate relationship with Hammam because its florals don't last that long on me, leaving just the amber/civet core pounding hard all day. 89's florals last quite a long time, but that is not what you get in the beginning. 89 awakes you with a rush of bergamot, orange, and nutmeg. Then it slowly fades into a floral scent that lasts with you all day that gets stronger as you heat up.
Quality of Atomizer: Never drips. Never breaks on me. Always constant.
Overall: Floris 89 is something that, in my opinion, defines me as a person. It reeks of tradition, class, and like most Floris products, it is subtle, never loud. It is a cologne that fits every special occasion for me - whether it is a dinner party, pay day, or Sunday liturgy with brunch and coffee afterwards.
