No. 88 is a study in English eccentricity, offering a dark, sophisticated take on the traditional floral woody genre. It opens with a brief, sharp flash of bergamot that quickly recedes to reveal a complex and somewhat gothic heart. The core is dominated by rose otto—a deep, honeyed, and slightly medicinal floral—balanced by the green, minty facets of geranium and the honey-like warmth of sweet acacia and frangipani. This isn't a bright, sunny garden bouquet; instead, it feels like a shadowy courtyard at dusk. As the fragrance settles, it transitions into a dry, austere base where sandalwood and vetiver provide a firm, woody foundation. The transition from the lush florals to the earthy woods gives the scent a distinctly chypre character that feels Victorian yet modern. Wearing it feels formal and deliberate, like putting on a well-tailored black suit. It possesses an airy, spicy quality that keeps the heavier notes from becoming cloying, maintaining a British sense of reserve throughout its wear.
