A personal favourite of Ian Fleming himself. It is said that the fragrance is used by Bond in the novels, but this is not confirmed. Floris lime bath essence is mentioned by Ian Fleming in the novel Dr. No, but not specifically No. 89.
No.89 takes its name from the number of the Floris shop on Jermyn Street. A fresh, citrus top note blended with shades of Sandalwood, Rose, Orris and Oakmoss create this traditional English gentleman's fragrance. Although Floris used to make a complete range of No.89 fragranced toiletries for men, the Eau de Toilette is the only item they still make.
See below lnks for websites that still sell this product. You can also buy Floris 89 at the original Floris shop on Jermyn Street, at 89 Jermyn Street, London, SW1Y 6JH.
Please note that the current new packaging is white, in stead of the black box shown on the left.

Its mascuine and old fashioned. Its from the 50's so come on!
I like it though. The soap and shaving cream of the same is also very nice. Visit the shop and enjoy.
It was a favourite of Ian Flemings, pretty much says that everywhere. And theres more than a bit of him in JB.

I'm always amused by claims that 'this is the cologne Bond wore.' I've seen them in relation to Eucris by Trumper and now this Floris cologne. In the Fleming books Bond did NOT wear cologne. In fact in at least 2 books that I know of he disparages anyone who does. In "Diamonds are Forever," he describes the American Mafia as, "mostly a lot of Italian bums with monogrammed shirts who spend the day eating spaghetti and meatballs and squirting scent over themselves." In "From Russia
With Love," when Tatiana Romanova asks Bond why Englishmen don't wear cologne since all Russian men do, he replies, "We bathe."

I have bought this perfume in London. Actually, the price was cheaper in Fortnum and Mason than in the original Floris shop located in Jermyn St. This is an "old school" perfume. If you compare with modern fragrance it may seem too strong at first... but after a while it leaves a subtle and delicate fragrance while most of mainstream perfume will just disappear. This fragrance will stay very long.

after searching high & low for almost 11 months (no one in leicester has every heard of it & hard to find on the web) a lady in fennicks told me to email floris to see if they would have any samples (not paying £50 without smelling it)
they got back to me within the hour & today i received 3x sample bottles of floris no.89 great service great scent

Not sure any scent/cologne was mentioned in the Fleming works - The films are unreliable, often product placement took precedence over the Traditional English but left-field and double barrelled name preferences (Bond in a BMW anyone?) - I have heard Geo F. trumpers 'Eucris' also linked but cannot find a reference to this in the books.

In AUSTRALIA the Floris range can be purchased at Henry Bucks, O'Connell St, Sydney. My favourite is the JF. The 89 ends up with a rather "soapy" after smell. These scents are quite different to the familiar tribe of scents in most high street stores. Note that Henry Bucks also stocks Persol polo and T shirts, at A$175 for the former and A$99 for the later.

Being a huge fan of Floris I just wanted to say that you can find the whole range of Floris and other English fragrances and accessories as well in the US in this address
http://www.shoplondons.com/floris.html
You can get the No.89 as well as other hard to find like the Malmaison and the other range of Floris Classic fragrances. Tought it would be helpful to listed since I did not see a US dealer for Floris on the links. They deliver quickly and accurate, very good service I must say from the experiences that I've had and I bought the whole range of Floris for men from this site.

www.carterandbond.com carries No. 89 as of 06/03/2008. I looked every where for it and found it through Carter & Bond of London's website...I ordered a 3.4 oz bottle of that and Elite. All of Floris' men's fragrances are priced the same except for this one...it's a few pounds more (probably because it is rarer than the others).

This is totally misleading. Bond in the books does not use any specific aftershave, certainly not Floris 89.
Floris products are mentioned in Fleming but nothing directly attributed to Bond, other than having May stock up on bath essence for Tiffany Case!
I am disappointed any Bond fan should suggest Bond DEFINATELY used any item, without providing reference.
Enjoy Floris 89 by all means - but James Bond probably didn\'t.

A magnificent fragrence, Floris No.89 is well worth the money. It has a very clean smell to it with hints of Sandalwood. Don't put too much on though as it is very strong. Just the right ammount and watch the ladies heads turn as you pass them by!

I haven't purchased any myself, so I can't comment on the service of the site or the perfume itself, sorry.

I was thinking of purchasing this, but the thought of dropping over one hundred dollars on bottle is a little overboard unless I really enjoy the scent. As of now, I cant seem to find or even purchase a sample.

As a Bond lover I wanted to switch my cologne to Floris #89, but I was leery about dropping 85 dollars on something I had not sampled, well the people at Floris were awesome and are sending me a sample, so if your in my boat, you should be able to contact customer service via the Floris Website and see if they will ship you a sample as well.

I personally do not like the smell of it. It smells like baby powder with a hint of citrus. Unique smell, but it gives me a headache. Floris has other Eau de Toilette that are better than No. 89.

I can buy this unique fragrance in Germany. However, it is not being sold in the large franchise stores (e.g. Douglass). Look in the smaller, owner-run perfume stores!
Can anyone quote from the books where JB uses this?

Sadly, when I searched for this Cologne in Australia, it can't be found anywhere, which is a shame. If anyone knows where you can buy it in Australia please let me know.

this is a great smelling classic fragrance, but its interesting to note that the Floris shop in Jermyn St London also sells a No89 talcum powder as well.

A good note about this fragrance is not many people know about Floris - usually commenting on the usual high street brands - this will impress, even if they don't like the smell, which by the way is a warm subtle one. Don't over apply!

Well, I\'m a bit of a cologne snob but this offering from Floris works well. At first you WILL wear way too much, but over time it works well and lingers in a fleeting manner.
Smells good and makes you feel good. Try it now !
