Antica Barbearria de Bairro

Principe Real

Notes of Bergamot, orange, lemon and mandarin complimented by wood and spice base notes

Ribeira

Notes of cedar, sandalwood and patchouli are woken up with bergamot.

Antica Barbieria Colla

Almond Oil

It has a compelling almond fragrance. It isn’t a sweet smell, like marizipan. It is a truer, more natural scent of bitter almond.

Apricot Hull

Alcohol-free, the main ingredient of this product is apricot hull, extracted from the stone of this fruit.  (Not apricot scented. Neutral)

Red Sandalwood

Antica Barbieria Colla’s Hard Shaving Soap has now a new fragrance, thanks to the intense notes of red sandalwood.

Tabacco Verde

The earthy fragrance is extracted from the fermented leaves of the tobacco plant. It emanates a warm and cozy sensation that inspires a sense of inner strength and energy.

Areffa

Phantom of Kyiv

The main direction of the aroma: nutty, oaky, a little sweet. Type of aroma: woody. Initial note: hazelnut, lemon, orange, lime. Heart note: cedar, clove, rose, lily of the valley. Final note: oak, pine, patchouli, eucalyptus

Discoverer

Aroma type: woody spices. Top notes: Orange, Grapefruit. Pepper, Pelargonium. End note: Vetiver, Cedar, Patchouli, Benzoin. (Bear tallow)

Arko

Clean fresh laundry or urinal puck — you decide

Barrister and Mann

Amazelnut

Amazelnut is a creamy, woody blend of vetiver oil and hazelnut, with touches of vanilla to bring depth and warmth.

Cheshire

We blend American clary sage, bergamot, and small amounts of lavender and patchouli to create a very realistic interpretation of the smell of Earl Grey (the tea, not the man).

Eigengrau

“It opens with a decidedly accurate icy, clean air essence that’s immediately sweetened by iris but on a muted level. It’s difficult to ascertain when the frigid air ends and the slightly camphorous fir needle takes over. The cold air narrows the dynamic of the fir in much the same way actual cold air numbs one’s olfactories such that there’s not much green or woods accompanying the fir needle. It’s all grounded in a dry clean earthiness with subtle muskiness. This fragrance smells like a real place.”

Fougère Angelique

Open – Lime, Lemon, Neroli Heart – Lavender, Geranium, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean Base – Cedar, Balsam Fir, Smoldering Flame, Oakmoss

Lavanille

We blend our version of Mousse de Saxe with lavender, vanilla, cedar, and elegant musk to create a dark, leathery, elegant soap unlike anything seen for nearly a half century.

Le Grand Chypre

Combines notes of bergamot, lime, labdanum, oakmoss, and a touch of patchouli to produce an elegant, citrusy heart. We wrapped it in notes of peach, rose, frankincense, cedar, cinnamon, and other supporting smells to create an elegant, slightly fruity, freshly floral design.

Red Letter Day

…principally vanilla, bergamot, cedar, sandalwood, leather, and cedar. It's far from the rooty, dusty cedar that we have employed elsewhere, and the woody character of RLD is crisp and clean, with a touch of creaminess from the sandalwood laid over the base vanilla character. The tangy zest of bergamot and a touch of bitter leather round out the design, a striking contrast to the rest of Red Letter Day's softly sweet, woody design.

Reserve Fern

Reserve Waves

Rhapsody

Because using only our pear blossom accord made the fragrance rather heavy, we decided to lighten it with the scents of apple and cherry blossoms, incorporating all three accords into a base of lemon, orange, orange flower, rose, bay, thyme, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, lavender, and vanilla. The result was a clean, sweet, citrusy scent with a distinctly floral cast and a richly smooth base, perfect for still-chilly Spring mornings where it's hard to justify getting out of bed.

Darkfall

Darkfall is a spicy oriental designed to capture the spirit of fall in the rural south. Agarwood, amber, and benzoin provide a deep, warm base for the cinnamon and clove top notes. Birch tar adds a slight smokiness that represents the ever-present smell of burning leaves that heralds the arrival of fall in Georgia.

Massacre of the Innocents

Top notes: cinnamon and pepper wood. Heart: osmanthus, tobacco leaf, labdanum and incense. Base: vanilla, cedar, vetiver, patchouli, iso e super, cypriol and musk.

Persephone

It opens with a big pomegranate note that fades to a warmer ambery base accompanied by oakmoss, amyris, cardamom, and sandalwood.

The rose accord and sandalwood accord were made from scratch by Chatillon Lux, designed to contrast the creamy sandalwood with a rose scent that is simultaneously sharp and sweet.

Sunrise on Lasalle

Aquamarine

… a soothing Green-Aquatic fragrance developed in collaboration with West Coast Shaving, which pairs citrus topnotes over alge, oakmoss, & amber basenotes.  The result evokes the unmistakeable feeling of relaxing sea-side under a warm sun, accompanied only by the rhythmic sound of the surf.

L'Orange Noir

…  the alluringly distinct, yet comfortingly familiar fragrance of Terre d'Hermes (2006).  This wonderfully refined fragrance pairs an earthy mineral scent with hints of orange creating nothing short of a masterpiece composition.

Lavender Pour Homme

…  a fragrance that smartly matches energizing peppermint with soothing lavender.  The result, as inspired by Oxford & Cambridge (1994) by Czech & Speake, is a dry and refreshingly bracing accord, which minimizes the typical floral aspect of the lavender fragrance.

Platinum

Inspired by Creed Aventus (2010), the scent features a spicy pineapple top note over a smokey oakmoss base note …

**Based on customer feedback, we've made a slight change to the fragrance to accentuate the pepper note making closer to the Sauvage scent that it's inspired by.

Scots Pine Sheep

Made with mutton tallow and lanolin, it has a calm and pleasing pine scent that is nothing like a pine oil used in cleaning products, as it has a touch of oakmoss to round out the blend.

The soap is fantastic; the splash may be too strong and/or long-lasting for my preference. Maybe best reserved for outdoor days.
