Nº 89 (eau de toilette) Floris

Aromatic Fougère

Orange and bergamot blended with lavender and neroli give this scent its classical cologne aspect.

Warmed with a touch of spicy nutmeg, the floral heart is underscored by the dominant woody accord of sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver in this quintessentially English gentleman's fragrance.

If you’re looking to secure a new signature fragrance that promises to stand the test of time, look no further than the iconic No. 89 Eau de Toilette. A classic elegant cologne of impeccable style and provenance.

Introduced in 1951, No. 89 takes its name from the number of the Floris shop and perfumery in Jermyn Street, which was originally the family home and remains very much the beating heart of our perfume house today. No. 89 was created in the sub-basement at 89 Jermyn Street which was traditionally and affectionally known as ‘The Mine’, and is where all of our fragrances were created up until the late 1970s.Devoted wearers of No. 89 include Cary Grant, Sir Alec Guinness and Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond.

Melograno (eau de cologne) Firenze 1221 Edition Santa Maria Novella

Soft amber

Melograno tells you an enchanting story, inspired by 800 years of tradition, just waiting to become your story.

A journey through the senses evoking the rare sensations of the magic Persia, a hymn to fertility and abundance.

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’s Melograno fragrance is a bouquet of sweet floral oriental notes. The fragrance summons warm, welcoming sensations, an appropriate interpretation of the tree’s symbolic meaning. The pomegranate tree spread from Persia throughout the Mediterranean. It embellished many ancient Egyptian tombs. The pomegranate fruit symbolizes many things. It appears in the Song of Songs, in The Odyssey and in ancient folklore, emblematic of fertility and abundance.

The fragrance opens with fresh spicy and citrus notes. In the middle, rose and ylang ylang joins the red notes of pomegranate. On the base, patchouli, labdanum, and musk blend with deep notes of oakmoss.

Top notes: Bergamot, Bitter orange, Spices Heart notes: Pomegranate, Rose, Ylang ylang Base notes: Oak moss, Labdanum, Patchouli, Musk

Moss Oak Arabella from Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. (I'm not a huge fan of Regency dresses, but I thought I'd sew one anyway and wander around looking tragic and fae. I still don't like the Regency silhouette, but the dresses are very comfortable and cool in summer.)
