Seville
Barrister & Mann
Started out of his apartment in Boston Massachusettes in 2013 by Will Carius, a self-taught perfumer, Barrister & Mann has grown into the one of the premium shave brands of the wet shaving community. The brand is famous for creating original fragrances which are complex and multi-layered, with classic Fougère properties such as those found in Seville, Le Grand Chypre, and Waves. The product line includes shave soaps, bar soaps, aftershaves and colognes.
Scent Description
B&M's Seville is an iconic fragrance which is considered by many in the wet shaving community to be one of the standard bearers of the Barbershop scent. Exactly what makes a scent a "Barbershop" is an open question, but most are Fougères characterized by notes of Lavender, Bergamot, Oakmoss, and very often Talc or Powder. Typically, a Barbershop will have a fresh, aromatic bouquet with spicy notes and soapy underpinnings. The risk with many is that they lean too far into the soapy realm and become reminiscent of detergent. Completely not so with Seville, which is a complex Fougère with spicy, zesty, and woody notes which lean towards sweet but remain fresh and invigorating. A must have for serious wet shavers. Perfect for daytime, home, or the office.
