Barbiere Classico
Ariana & Evans
Founded in 2017 in Ansonia Connecticut, Ariana & Evans is the passion project and brain child of Peter Charkalis whose name is the amalgamation of Peter and his daughter's middle names. Peter is an ecclectic and worldly designer who embraces the ideaology of Kaizen, which in Japanese means "constant improvement". His fragrances are bold, sophisticated, whimsical, non-traditional, and heavily influenced by global culture and cuisine, with notable scents including Baklava, Plum & Bliss, Chasing the Dragon, and Khalifa. In 2024, the brand launched a new line, Maullu, a collaboration with internationally acclaimed Italian barber Daniele Maullu which focuses on premium ingredients.
Scent Description
Barbiere Classico is a scent which is likely to be divisive. While aiming for a fragrance which is traditional, fresh, and super-clean, some maybe percieve the Talc to be overpowering, so much so that the overall effect becomes reminiscent of detergent and overpowers many of the other notes which would typically define a classic fougere.

Base Description
The Ultima soap base has many excellent properties, particularly its high density and strong stability. Slickness is more than adequate, but unlike the K2e base which ShaveSplash characterizes as "yogurty", which is defined by an ultra-wet, dense, and smooth lather, the Ultima base has more structure and volume and falls under the category of "puffy". Although different from K2e, and its predecessor, the Ultima base has excellent cushion, offering good protetion, and making for an excellent shave.
