This is the fragrance video that even dedicated frag CZcamsrs can't give you. Bravo, Kirby!
Unless they happen to be perfumers
@@paulmcgee1867 CZcamsrs who work as perfumers at Floris?
That is why every fucking perfume in the world is the best in the eyes of CZcams sellouts, that is not reviews that is an infomercial
@@87linceed Seriously. If you are looking for a good fragrance, you can't go wrong with Floris No. 89. I walked by someone that was wearing it and had to ask what their fragrance was. I was a man and asked another man on the street and he seemed super excited to talk about it. He told me it was Floris No. 89 and I ordered a bottle that night. I was 20 at the time and have worn it every day since, I'm 29 now. My wife loves the smell of it on me too. Their experience is no joke. The quality is unmatched. It is such a great fragrance and honestly not a bad price. I get my bottles on amazon for $75. I only need 2 sprays and it lasts all day so the bottle lasts me a year. So $75 a year for your fragrance is an easy investment in my eyes. I cannot recommend it enough. I have been meaning to pick up their shaving cream and aftershave balm because they have that in the No 89 blend as well. I am actually going to go do that right now. I don't mean to sound like a shill, I just swear by this stuff. I get compliments all the time on it.
Besides cigars, perfumery is another passion. This channel continues to deliver great content. Thank you Kirby.
Would love your suggestions on fragrance content!
Casamorati fragrances which is owned by Xerjoff and Italian perfumery house. That line was created in 1888 so watching this video and the rich history has me intrigued to learn more about this brand. There is a more recent niche perfumery brand called Le Labo which makes their fragrances in front of you in the same style as this video but they do not let you create your own sent.
@Kirby Allison keep it coming, good sir. This is one of my favorite episodes of yours. It's maybe because you are feeling ill, but I sensed a lack of energy compared to your other videos.
@@kirbyallison could you try out guerlain's bespoke perfume process Kirby?
@@kirbyallison definitely Guerlain in paris Kirby
She seems like a really knowledgeable person, and like she really enjoys her job
I feel for Kirby in this one, having a cold during a personalized experience like this can be hard to enjoy. Glad he was able to get through it ok. Great video!
Is it a cold, or is it a hangover? lol
I’m a huge fragrance enthusiast- can already see myself watching and rewatching this
Have you seen the Fragrance Through the decades" video with Roja Dove? I bet I've watched that 10 times.
It's so nice seeing people who are real experts in their field. This lady is a real craftswoman.
This is SO cool. I didn't know bespoke perfumes were a thing! From bespoke suits, to shoes, exclusive cigars, now fragrances. You've given me lifestyle goals that I've longed for.
What a fantastic establishment. Creating your own fragrance is an Honour a privilege that only a few gentleman have experienced. I myself participated in the ritual in 1989. Been using it ever since. Fantastic
What are the notes of your personal fragrance?

Thank you Penny for showing us the experience.
Penny is adorable
As someone who enjoys fragrance this episode spoke to me. You’re content is always brilliant and enjoyable. I just placed my first order with Floris London. I look forward to their arrival and adding these fragrances to my collection.
I am glad you enjoyed it! Floris and its history is incredible, and the concept of bespoke fragrances made this way is truly unique. I hope you enjoy the fragrance you have ordered.
Congratulations Kirby, an honour to be a part of such an amazing brands history! I could tell that this was one of those ‘milestone’ life moments for you as the video was closing and you were admiring the bottle.
Floris is my favorite perfume house, really looking forward to watching this! Santal, Honey Oud, No89 and Elite are imo their best offerings in case anyone is wondering.
What's better between 89 and Elite? What's the differences?
A fine and unique episode, the kind of which can give more meaning to visit to London. Much appreciated, especially the patience required to allow the Floris expert to lead the way.
Thank you so much for sharing this Kirby what a lovely video. You can feel Penny's passion and love for fragrances here. Big thumbs up
This video was fascinating! Thank you, Kirby, for taking us with you!
This was such a pleasure to watch, a true professional, passionately talking you through the process. I have to admit though, it was giving me unintentional asmr vibes and fell asleep first time watching, but had to come back. Thanks for this experience through the video Kirby!
Hi Kirby, I’d like to thank you as a regular viewer of your channel for the great content you put out. This video especially drew my attention and since have ordered various fragrances from Floris. Living in the uk I hope to one day experience the bespoke service they provide. Many thanks 🙏🏻
What a wonderful episode! When I started watching your channel with just some odd thousand subscribers I never imagined you'd reaching such quality. A sincere Thank You, Kirby, for all your effort! The Sahakians have probably become my favorites but so much is great now, it's getting hard to pick a list!
You are making history. Thanks for sharing this experiences with us.
I have never watched a fragrance making video before, I learned a lot. Thank you Kirby and Floris London.
Wonderful video. I always go in with the intention to just to sample things, yet I always seem to buy something! Last week it was their Islay fragrance and I couldn't be happier.
I'm so grateful that you concentrate on the same fine craftspeople that produce the things that I thoroughly enjoy and cherish, in this modern world with the mass perception of what are 'luxury brands' I feel that it's increasingly important to support businesses like Floris.
Absolutely awesome video! As a hobby perfumer myself this is inspiring and gives so much insight - WOW! Would love to experience such a session with Penny!
Sounds and looks like Kirby had a heavy night on the cigars. Great content as usual.
Soon as she said "birchleaf" I could imagine how very different that Elite one would be to the others. Love shoes and cigars myself, but this is the first video that's inspired a gift idea for my partner - big thanks for making this video!
Great to see your London adventures complimenting local shops / businesses with media coverage - lovely touch! Big fan of your Davidoff visits and have since gathered a collection of cigars and own a humidor.
Thank you for sharing the inspiring vids.
Great content as always Kirby, can’t wait to try your fragrance.
Amazing. Impeccable timing. I have this scheduled very soon. Great window into the process. Can’t wait to create a unique perfume of my own.
Thank you for sharing this experience with us Kirbe!
This was amazing. I'm a huge fan of fragrances and I loved every second of this experience.
I love this womans enthusiasm!
Vetiver is so wonderful, a good floral-citrus pairing is petitgrain, from the Seville orange, which is also where neroli is also from.
So glad she explained neroli vs orange blossom. What a passionate lady
Great video Kirby. Thank you!
So great to see someone loving their job, this lady is such a treat!
What a fascinating episode! I really enjoyed witnessing the evolution of the fragrance process and how they are selected to compliment one another.
There was something very relaxing, almost meditative about this video.
OMG! Floris is my favorite parfume too! I also want a bespoke fragrance for myself one day. I would love it.
Thank you Kirby, i will be sat right there in the future myself and this was nice because we all got to witness the process. Currently wearing the "Special No. 127" and its a beautiful fragrance!
Great video again Kirby, please explore the world of fabric factories too. Thanks.... a fan from Nigeria!
Hoping to do some more work on fabric. Take a look at our visit to Lovat Mill in our Suit to Shoot series.
I love fragrances, that's why This video is very informative and dear to me ! I hope you will make more fragrance videos.
Missed opportunity at the name of "Allison Wonderland" for a play in Alice in Wonderland, but great video, was nice to hear someone talk so passionately about something which I dismissed overall.
This was an absolutely wonderful video. Thank you, Kirby and Penny!
Damn it Kirby, now I have to buy Floris too!! Just bought a couple from your shop. Amazing video. Probably one of the best so far!!
Fascinating.... Excellent video Mr Allison
Needed this. Been looking into Bespoke Fragrance but found nothing yet. Imma enjoy this.
this is something really incredible! thanks Kirby!!
Just booked a session for my birthday. Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh my...i love this episode! ❤❤❤ Very satisfying! More please...
That was amazing. I love it
Great video as always.Floris is my choice when it comes to scent. Santal, JF and Honey oud are mine top ones for Autumn,Winter and 127 for the summer.
Wonderful video Kirby!
Great video, this lady knows her stuff. Would love to pay them a visit one day 👍
Loved it very much, so informative,thankyou
Penny was splendid and congratulations Kirby. Hope your voice is better. Cheers 🥂 SF
Excellent interview with great women ‘ thanks dear ❤
I'm a FragHead with several Floris fragrances. I'm a Fougere guy, and Elite is by far my favorite Floris frag. It's as smooth as it gets. In my top 5 fougeres, and top 10 fragrances overall. I have Floris Santal too, which is often compared to another of my favorites - Gucci Envy for Men. I don't think of Santal as an out and out Fougere though. Great stuff.
I believe the marine synthetic she referred to is calone, which evidently was used in the culinary world for years as sort of a melon flavor. She mentioned New West by Aramis, which in the 1980's was the first commercial fragrance to use calone. So it was sort of an early prototype of the aquatic genre to take over in the 1990's.
I’ll be making a purchase from Floris after watching this!
Amazing and really informative Kirby.
i already have a fragrance from floris but now i feel like i need a bespoke one, this video completely sold me!
Yes, but the whole bespoke experience costs 5,000 pounds
@@dan-ob7zh lol maybe not
@@Idk-dd2gn maybe not? Why? It's written in Floris website
@@Idk-dd2gn it's not a joke... it does cost 5,000 pounds, for real
I really, really enjoyed this vlog, that lady was fabulous!
One of my fav episodes. I love perfumes so much
Knowing very little about fragrances, I found this fascinating. I’d love to go through this process.
I heard Kirby’s voice and imagined a 2 hour bespoke fragrance consultation with a stuffed nose
Right!? Reminded me of the Twilight Zone episode, "Time Enough at Last". 👓
Super cool. That would be a really nice experience 🍷
Great clip - I've wanted to visit Floris and willdo it next time when I am in London...
Love it when you come to my country Kirby, you are most welcome.
Excellent video Kirby. I'm a big Floris fan. I plan to have a Bespoke fragrance created by them. I noticed that you were quite intrigued with Vetiver. I love to wear Vetiver on damp or rainy days. The earthiness of the Vetiver smells very good when there's moisture in the air. Creed's Vetiver (formulated in 1948) is the best Vetiver scent I've ever smelled. This is not to be confused with Creed's fragrance called 'Original Vetiver'.
Loved the video Kirby
my wife is not going to be happy. You just introduced me to something special that i have already made my first order with them. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you
I'm glad I watched this
Fabulous video Sir.
A dream for a a lot of perfume lovers.
This is very interesting!! Maybe I can make it up there someday, I really do enjoy a nice cologne and actually do need a few new ones.
This is an incredibly interesting video. Would love to have this experience.
Very interesting Kirby, nice video
I usually dislike when people are to divers in there videos as I find the quality begins to fall the thinner one spreads themself, yet that couldn’t be further from the truth with yours good sir! The level of elegance across all of your videos is absolutely remarkable and you continue to raise the bar. I came across your channel whilst looking for more insight on cigars, yet find myself loving all the other content equally as much. Looking forward to the videos from Cuba and hope you enjoy your time in such a beautiful country, one day I hope to make the trip myself.
Well done Penny!
I absolutely love this type of video 🤝🍻
Really nicely edited video, but just so you know, Menorca is the island on the right side of the one that you indicate. And it has been an important island for the British history!
Amazing!
Great branch out content! Totally fits of course. Would love a trip to Fragrance du Bois at some point, also luxury UK based!
Choosing your own fragrance is very difficult I find. I say that because I've worn some odd choices and experienced odd results from people. For instance, when I was growing up, the overly popular fragrances for men were things like Polo, Eternity for Men, etc. I did something weird and wore two fragrances at once; Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey and Elizabeth Taylor's Passion for men. Those two fragrances on me at the same time got so many compliments and no one could tell what I was wearing but, more often than not, they loved it. Another time I was looking for something new and a little more recent and the woman at the fragrance counter gave me quite a few samples to take home. One, in particular, I really liked the smell of. I started wearing it regularly and women seemed to really love it. I could never remember nor pronounce the name of it but I was shocked at the response to it over every other fragrance I had worn in my entire life. When I located the tester after deciding to buy a bottle of it, I found out it was a woman's perfume I had been wearing the entire time. I did not buy a bottle for myself but I really think fragrance is a very individual thing and you should wear what works for you and not worry about whether its made for a man or a woman.
Awesome video, I really enjoyed the experience! Sorry you weren't feeling well, having a cold wasn't ideal for making a fragrance but you got through it. The one you came up with sounds like a good combination. I love vetiver based fragrances as well, and neroli always smells nice and fresh.
We ultimately added the Neroli to another version and it smells great!
@@kirbyallison Great that's fantastic! I look forward to seeing it being released to the world, the creative process is so fascinating and exciting .
@@kirbyallisonthis was a great video thank you (up there with the one with you and Nick Foulkes and the tweed as a favourite of mine). Was it the Neroli that wasn't initially allowed, and if so why was that. Was it the expense? And how did you get it used for your other version? Thanks!
This would be a joy to experience. I do find it odd the perfumer doubted brands use real ambergris still when you can absolutely find plenty of niche and indie brands at the very least using it. Some even in the UK like Papillon Artisan Perfumes.
Awesome video 👌
I would indeed be interested in a bottle if ever offered on your website!

I loved this video
Aaaaaand here i sit, smoking a San Cristobal de la Habana enjoying this premium Content!
You've got it!
Love Floris. Have had a few bottles before and actually just ordered the No.OO7 and Vert Fougere. I am also a big fan of Castle Forbes fragrance too.
Amazing 👍👍
Kirby..Bravo!
Kirby, love the content. Could you do a video exploring the world of Penhaligons’?
This was a pleasure to watch. Penny is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable, non pretentious and personable. I would love to have her create a scent for me, I’m not knowledgeable about this and my sense of smell is not refined.
Great content.
Floris used to make a superb vetiver fragrance named, appropriately enough, Vetiver that they discontinued a handful of years ago. I can't help but wonder how close this concoction comes to it.
Floris sells hand-poured 'heritage' fragrances for 200 GBP/100ml. They make a lovely one called Vetiver which is an EDP, others include Golden Amber, Rose Geranium, Sandalwood
Interesting Kirby. There is a shop in New Orleans that does the same thing. It's been there for years. I have my own fragrances made there.
I would do honey,spice and leather with a touch of orange and a bit of vanille
Should've got some Oud, leather & Tobacco in it too...love your content, keep it up
Seems exactly like the olfactory counterpart of graphic design and other creative/design services in many ways. I am not a perfumist, but the way she "massages" things with the client into the final product in a way that balances science, convention, experience, best practices, and human subjectivity is inspiring. Would love to work on a fragrance with her if I get the means!
Very interesting. I have a friend who is a big fan of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.. I wonder if they made one for him?
