Hi chaps just got the Floris winter catalogue for those that like it they will be discontinuing the 100ml Vetiver and Malmaison scents from January 2009. Sticking it here as well the Santal Shave cream is also going to be gone.
This is from the UK Winter 2008 brochure
Cheers

WHAT?!?!
OK, I've had it with companies...LOL. It never fails, they always discontinue the BEST of the best of their line. Floris Vetiver is bottomline my favorite scent from them, and is definitely in my top 5 of favorite scents period. Santal shave cream? Again, one of their best.

I thought JF shave cream was going to be discontinued, but I still see it on their site.

Santal was one of my favorites.
Is this the straight skinny?

I think No. 89 was discontinued once, and was off their site for a while, but it can be found there once again.
The Santal cream is excellent, and if I had more $$, it would be something I'd always have. I'm not sure about the Vetiver, having never tried it, but from what I hear from reviewers, it looks like I'm going to have to get some soon.
Or if not, hopefully it is similar to the No. 89 case, and "re-continues" in the future."[I][COLOR="Brown"][B]Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.[/i][/B][/COLOR]"

If you haven't tried the Vetiver, your missing out on a classic. Right up there with Guerlain's Vetiver and L'Occitane.

I am beginning to think that they only re-upped the No. 89 to coincide with the big Ian Fleming exhibit at the Imperial War Museum in London this year. Originally Posted by stevensj2

All in all it sounds like this is a sinking ship, lads."Well, if we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?

Yup! Hands-down, my all-time favorite cologne with "Vetiver" in the name. Originally Posted by RubenC

I dont really understand why companies do this stuff. There product range is so niche why stop selling online?
