Oddly, I like the scent of the Elite soap as much as the 89, but the Elite EdT (bought directly from Floris) doesn’t strike me the same way as the soap. Go figure.

I have tried to convince myself to like it but failed..
One thing i did realise is that early morning usage makes it much more acceptable to my nose
I've found the same with a few soap/cream and EDT combos. The EDT are far more concentrated fragrance.

I love Floris 89 edt. Very James Bond. Suave and sophisticated. Just like myself.....

Generally speaking the British creams are superior to the soaps but once my Floris 89 cream has run out I'm going to try the soap.
