Ubrique
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
Ubrique is a smokey fragrance, a scent note Will Carius admits to being partial to having grown up in a house with a wood-burning stove. Named for the Spanish town famous for producing leather, Ubrique is an homage to Spanish Leather and the many perfumes it inspired in the 20th century. Although some of the signature B&M style is present, such as a floral bouquet suffused with geranmium, rosewood, bergamot and vetiver, the main thrust is smokey leather, which tends to crowd out the other accords. Ubrique is a heavy fragrance, which is masculine and rugged, and will likely get you noticed. A daytime scent, well suited for play and the outdoors, which may be assertive for intimate settings or the office.

Base Description
B&M's Omnibus is the epitome of the "yogurty" base. It is tallow-based and whips up quicklly into a luscious, luxurious, creamy, yogurt which is dense and easy to spread with stability and slickness which are more than adequate. Becuase it's so creamy, its cushion is lower than soaps which prioritize volume over density. B&M prides itself on using high quality, natural, ingredients with beneficial skin properties such as coconut milk, goat milk, shea butter, avocado oil, kokum butter, castor oil and capuacu butter. For lovers of the yogurty shave soap, B&M sets the benchmark to beat.
