Floris Vetiver discontinued?
Floris Vetiver discontinued?
Gents,
Now, I am not usually an alarmist, but in checking the Floris web site, Vetiver is on sale with a note that it will be discontinued. Admittedly, it may just be the packaging that will change. I called Floris USA to ask the question, but only got the answering machine. Is it possible that Floris could be that clueless? I know No. 89 gets a lot of play on this board, but for me, Vetiver is their masterpiece. Any chance one of our residents in Great Britain could investigate this potential travesty?
Regards,
Basil

Well, the Floris website (after you select the United States) does show that the atomiser is discontinued. But it doesn't show any options other than the atomiser either. Hmmm.
However, if you got to the Floris website and choose the UK, it does not show as discontinued:
Code: Select all
Products Unit Price
Eau de Toilette Atomiser - Discontinued
100ml / 3.4 fl. oz[11490] $56.95 (was $85.00)

Well, it's worth mentioning again that the US direct Floris website is in the process of closing down their operation. They are going to let seperate retailers, like ShopLondons handle their products in America from here on out ( as was the case before they opened their Madison Avenue store in the '80s ). So, the US site is selling off it's merchandize, and as they run out of a particular item, then that will be that.....that item is 'discontinued' so to speak.

Sorry for the late response to this. I hadn't noticed it before. No, none of the Floris Classic Fragrances are being discontinued. While it might be in my best interest to perpetuate that rumor, it is not true. Not only do I have a large supply of all of them in stock, a new Floris distibutorship should be in operation here in the US in the early Spring with all of them available as well.

Maybe because some of us had stellar service from them.The lady I dealt with on my couple of orders seemed knowledgable and willing to answer any and all questions about their products.My orders were always delivered in a timely manner and never with any problems.
Besides,Floris products IMHO are top notch.

I'm not criticising "Them" or anything like them. The only reason for buying Floris colognes is the incredible quality of the scents. If you find it easier, just go through Jim at Vintage Blades, who is quick and efficient. The colognes need no defense whatsoever. In fact, I think I might add to the Posting Guidlines that a receipt for some No.89 might become a requirement for membership at SMF!

I don't particularly like the scent.
