Floris is one of the oldest fragrance houses in the world, established in London in 1730. No. 89 dates to 1951 and represents the house's heritage approach to classic men's fragrances, crafted with traditional methods and quality materials.

No. 89 opens with a bright citrus burst of bergamot, orange, and neroli, laced with lavender and a hint of nutmeg for spice. The heart develops into a soft, garden-like floral with rose, geranium, and ylang-ylang that gives the fragrance unexpected warmth and elegance. The base anchors everything with oakmoss and vetiver, joined by sandalwood, musk, and Virginia cedar for a woody, slightly earthy finish that prevents the composition from feeling too sweet.

This is a versatile fragrance that works equally well in professional settings and casual wear. The citrus-woody balance and restrained florals make it approachable without being generic, appealing to those who appreciate classic British fragrance sensibilities. If you gravitate toward The Tactician, The Homesteader, and The Aristocrat, No. 89 will likely resonate with your taste.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Orange
Orange
Warm, round, and familiar, sweet orange is the most approachable of the citrus family. In perfumery it reads as sunlit and optimistic, with a gentle warmth that stops short of heaviness. Orange is frequently used to smooth and soften citrus openings, adding a natural sweetness that makes compositions feel immediately welcoming.
Neroli
Neroli
Distilled from bitter orange blossoms, neroli sits at the intersection of citrus and floral, bright and slightly waxy, with a honeyed depth that other citrus notes lack. It's one of the most complex natural ingredients in perfumery, simultaneously fresh and rich. A little neroli makes almost any fragrance feel expensive.
Petitgrain
Petitgrain
Crisp, woody, and slightly bitter, petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, making it the green, herbal sibling of neroli and bergamot. It adds a clean, aromatic freshness to masculine fragrances in particular, with a slightly soapy, barbershop quality that is effortlessly wearable.
Nutmeg
Nutmeg
Warm, woody, and softly spiced with a slight sweetness that makes it gentler than clove or pepper. Nutmeg adds a quiet, autumnal warmth to fragrances without sharpness. It blends seamlessly into woody and oriental bases, acting more as a supporting character than a lead note.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Geranium
Geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
Ylang-Ylang
Ylang-Ylang
Base · 3–12 hrs
Oakmoss
Oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
Virginia Cedar
Virginia Cedar
Warm, slightly sweet, and clean, Virginia cedarwood is the most commonly used cedar in mainstream perfumery. It has a familiar, pencil-cedar smell with a soft warmth that makes it universally approachable. Less assertive than Atlas cedar, it acts as a quiet, reliable base note in hundreds of commercial fragrances.
