THE SCENT:FLORIS NO.89

I HAVEN'T CONSISTENTLY WORN A SCENT SINCE MY HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE DAYS. (POLO THEN Z-14) AS AN ADULT I HAVE SEARCHED AND EXPERIMENTED (THINK BAY RUM) BUT NOT FOUND MY ADULT MAN SCENT, THAT NOT ONLY I LIKED BUT PASSED THE TEST WITH THE WOMEN IN MY LIFE (MEANING MY WIFE).

ENTER FLORIS (OLD SCHOOL LONDON BASED TOILETRIES FOR MEN) AND THEIR FRAGRANCE NO. 89.  IT HAS IT ALL- CITRUS, WOODY, SPICE WITH JUST A TOUCH OF FLORAL. IT REALLY IS JUST A PERFECT SCENT AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS A FAVORITE WITH IAN FLEMING AND BOND HIMSELF IS JUST A BONUS.

WATCH FETISH:1680

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A NICE SUBMARINER 1680 FOR A WHILE-MATTE DIAL, CREAMY LUMES, AND PRICED RIGHT. HQ MILTON IS CONSISTENTLY MY SOURCE FOR GREAT ROLEX FINDS. LAST ON THE LIST IS THE "JAMES BOND" 5508. (IT MAY BE A WHILE FOR THAT ONE.)
