favorite barbershop scent

Count me in the Eucris camp. A very deep (while still fresh) and complex timeless barbershop scent, with notes of oak moss, woods, spices, fresh herbs, musk, black currant, florals, incense, leather/tobacco...
Moreover, I get the sense that they (Trumper) did not cut corners on the quality of the (scent) ingredients (which I can't say of all of their offerings).

While I still don't get a barbershop scent (maybe 'sense' is a better word) from Eucris, I certainly agree with everything else you said about this wonderful EdT.

I guess my memories of the barbershop, when I was a child in the 1950s, is a talcum powder/Pinaud Clubman aftershave sort of scent.

And I do love me some Geo F Trumper Spanish Leather.

GFT Spanish Leather is another sublime scent, old school - there is a reason both Eucris and Spanish Leather are only sold in small tubes and cost something like $6.79/oz MSRP vice the rest of the line.

Maybe the idea is "Victorian" barbershop.

If James Bond uses it, how can it be bad? It's said Floris 89 was the other scent James Bond used but I've never smelled that.

grim, I have it, as well, and really like it.

Unless it says barbershop on the label, I'm not even sure what the scent is anymore. Is it even a scent category?  Clubman is a fougere.  Most of the things called barbershop have a powdery scents. If you get a shave at Geo F Trumper they mist you with Spanish Leather.

Of the powdery ones I like Stirling Barbershop the best. Of the fougeres I like MdC the best. And I do love me some Geo F Trumper Spanish Leather.

Stirling is my favorite barbershop too. However, the one that reminds me most of the barbershops I went to as a kid is Strop Shoppe. That one has a strong powdery note.

Ghost Town Barber is the only soap/aftershave that I took one sniff and immediately put it out for a trade. The trade made both parties happy. At first I thought I was crazy so I asked my wife and daughter to smell it and give me their opinion. The scent to all 3 of us could only be described as a grandmother floral.

bakerbarber sent me a tin of Mike's barbershop the other day. it smells great, although I can't pinpoint the dominant fragrance in the soap. I don't get any powdery smell from Mike's iteration of barbershop that a lot of barbershop scents seem to have.

that might be it. I'll have to give it another sniff tonight when I get home from work!

I'm not sure anymore what "barber shop" scent means but generally I take a pass on products paying homage to "barber shop". That said, Local Gent California Barber is very pleasant to my citrus- crazed nose.
