Maybe i'm late Volley, but i find Edwardian Bouquet to be very classy and perfectly wearable for a man.

I ordered it today

I agree. I'm not a fan of any of the three, but Edwardian bouquet is pleasantly dry. However, by Floris, I prefer Stephanotis, a nice if uninspiring green floral.

I just sampled all three recently and Edwardian Bouquet is the most unisex of the three . The other two are rather sweet florals. Santal was a excellent masculine -similar to Opium pour homme but with 75% less vanilla and with lavender instead of mint.

Of the ones in your list I own China Rose and Edwardian Bouquet. I like Edwardian Bouquet the best and it could easily be considered unisex.

The thing is I might end up with No. 89

No. 89 is a classic and one of the better ones by Floris. Vetiver is good if you can find it (some places still carry it) and so is Elite. Both are good choices if you like green fragrances.

Have you tried 280? It's one of the best from the Floris line; it's a warm, gingery iris-floriental. It's a shame it's a limited edition because it's really quite beautiful.

Received White Rose today, and, for me, its a subtle and smooth Paris by YSL. I will gift my mom with this one.

I've only tried China Rose and it was terrible, and weirdly, not even a terrible rose. It smelled like some nasty, potpourri flanker of Boucheron Femme ( marshmallow white floral ). Not a rose to be seen. Glade does better.

Edwardian Bouquet is a lovely floral chypre. Don't care for the others.
