British former-Naval Intelligence officer and "James Bond" author Ian Fleming (1908-1964) always wore Floris 89 Eau de Toilette !
My first full bottle of a Floris. Bought it 2 years ago, have about an inch left. Glad you got one. I do like this and No89. There are others by Floris that are excellent, but I think I enjoy these the most. Thanks for the review, I think you've described it correctly.
I rate Floris👍
I was waiting for this as you mentioned you will make a review of this Floris 127 after perchasing it in you Jermyn St. stroll.
I can only buy this online over here. I will defitely pay a visit to that shop in my next awaited UK trip.
Based on your review of the Floris 89 I purchased it, and enjoy it very much. I will probably give this one a try as well, after all I am of the proper age group.
Thanks for the review, as always it was well done.
Great summary Ash, interesting and comprehensive. Sharp outfit, nice odd jacket. Outstanding video . Cheers.
I have 89 and Neroli Vogage from Floris. I also purchased a few sample size of a few different ones to try out. Very classic.
I bought a sample bottle of this to try as i wanted to see if i liked it. As i had a forthcoming short break to London coming up. I really liked it and my plan was to visit Jermyn Street and visit the Floris shop. I managed to get to Jermyn Street but the Floris shop was closed so i did not manage to purchase a bottle. Soon as i got back home i ordered it online. Its such a classic fragrance to wear. The visit to the Floris shop is first thing on my next trip to London.
My dad has 71/72 and it's his favourite of the ones he has including No. 89. May I suggest you give 71/72 a review?
That is one of my personal fragrances and I love the new back drop
Cannot go wrong with Floris
I have 89 but there’s no way I want it diluted. I love the dna of it. My other oldish one is creeds Bois du Portugal.
I also love old spice 🥰🥰👍
Splendid review 10 out of 10 Will be my nxt buy
Hello Ash
Another really good, interesting video, thank you
I would of liked to of known more about the Floris 89 as well
I also ask your views on Breitling watches please
It is great the the English Gentleman is still being keepers alive in this summing down of trainers, joking trousers, and gross pictures or words on T shirts
Good morning!
"Old fashioned" you say... - get me a bottle!😆
I'm just a bit under 40 but old fashioned and, as friends somewhat critically state, I've been "[...] 60 since you're 23", so it falls right into my orbit.
For the last couple of years I've been using the substantially Betgamote-esque *Aramis* for a while to which it sounds somewhat similar.
Like every fragrance review it adds something new to my "try" list, much like *Quorum* last time.
So another thank Ash seems apropriate!
Best regards
Raoul G. Kunz
Very nice!
Gotta get some of this, so I have
My 2 favourites from Floris. 89 and 127.
Good morning sirs.
🖐
Another very enjoyable review, Ash. Special 127 for spring and summer, or for the office. No 89 for the colder months. I enjoy both, but I find Special 127 easier to wear and I prefer its lighter nature.
I'd recommend you try Pour Monsieur by Chanel (the eau de toilette, not the EDP).
I have a bottle. It’s quite similar to 127 in many ways, but distinctly individual too.
@@TheChapsGuide Yes, I know what you mean. Floris smells quintessentially English whereas Pour Monsieur smells classically French, but they are both extremely elegant and gentlemanly.
I'd like to pick up a bottle. I've lately been wearing Amouage Myths!
Thanks for this review, Ash. I've been thinking about trying 127. By the way, is that a regimental tie?
Not regimental, but it is the tie of the Order of the League of Mercy.
Hi Ash, thank you for another great review and I’m glad you mentioned Penhaligon’s as well as I also like both too.
Have you bought clothing from John Smedley or Sunspel and if so have you ever posted anything?
Keep up the good work, it’s refreshing to know that standards are still important to many judging by the amount of subscribers you have
Ive never seen or heard of this. Recently, new member of a CZcams group I belong to Dapperly Dressed, mentioned this. I’ll try to find it.

Good Morning Ash: I am looking for a fragrance for a fragrance gift for a high school graduate. He is an old soul so that is why I am leaning towards Floris. I have Floris Elite, Cefiro and Bergamotto d' Positano. I am leaning towards Neroli Voyage and 127.
What are you suggestions?
Hard to recommend for a stranger, but I’m having a minor love affair with the original Eau Sauvage by Dior (not to be confused with the modern Sauvage a la Johnny Depo). It is modestly priced and utterly chic.
Shout out to the modern dandy. What’s his sotd?
Good review. Nice presentation. Subscription earned. Subscribed.
Merry Christmas! Could you please review Floris' JF?
Great review man! I agree. Do you think this is a timeless scent?
All the best!
Giordano
Not sure I'd buy it from an 'auction' site - fakes exist...
Well,,I,like 127 and 89.
Which Floris fragrances are for the colder months?
No 89 is a sure bet, but Elite is also very robust and perfect for the cooler months.
Hi Ash a question.
I have not decided yet whether to get 89 or 127. I watched this video and you said that Floris 89 is smells stronger than Floris 127? Is it? Thanks
127 is a milder and less heavy sent, although they both have many fragrance similarities. 89 is a winter scent and 127 better for the summer.
Thanks Ash. One more please. I think I thought and heard that 89 is a summer cologne because it is citrussy. Is it citrussy mainly?. This will finally help me decide on my purchase. Thanks.
If Eva used to wear it then I can wear it.
Ash I believe I might just try the 89 sometime soon. I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to something similar to Drakar it's very similar to the Abercrombie and Fitch "Woods" I used to use in the 1980s. They have sence discontinued. I have been using it but would like to try something different. Thanks Ron
Scent is so subjective it's hard to make a suggestion here - but my favourite 'strong' fragrance has always been Chanel Antaeus - not similar really to Drakkar, but fiendishly smooth and masculine. The new Drakkar Intense could also be a good fit for you. It is strong and bears many similarities to Drakkar Noir - really cheap too!

89.
classic
I appreciate the nature around, always refreshing in your videos. Since you are living in England this question must be asked: how come that there is so much sunshine in so many of your clips? Where has the fog of Edgar Wallace gone!? 😉😂. P.S. No 89 is the best perfume I have ever had.
The UK is a sunny country in the summer months, the image of a rainy, foggy country has very much been exaggerated in the literary world to create atmosphere and tension. It certainly does get chilly and wet in the autumn & winter, but our temperate climate is definitely a major advantage to living here (never too hot, never too cold, never drought, never flood) - with occasional exceptions obviously!
@@TheChapsGuide Holy Cow. Edgar Allan Poe was an imposter! Edgar Wallace a liar. I am devastated. ;)

Writing on iPhone. It is great than the English Gentleman is still being kept alive in this dumbing down of trainers. Jogging trousers, and gross pictures or words on T shirts
