Classy, innovative, strong fougere
Starting to sample more recent releases from Aromas de Salazar with A Day at the Barbers, a fittingly fresh and sharp but also deep and intense barbershop scent, somewhere in the mix of a traditional fougere, fresh floral blend, and extra spicy mix featuring bay leaf, cinnamon, and cardamom. I get more of the spices, resins, and oakmoss than, say, the lavender, in this case, and it feels closer to being old-fashioned than hyper-modern in that it’s not really sweet at all, and a bit darker, more suited for the nighttime that some of the fresher, brighter fougeres on the market, albeit with a slight astringent quality that’s attention-grabbing. Anyone looking for something classic, somewhat masculine but not prohibitively so, might find this quite endearing. It brings the barbershop vibe in general but smells quite unique.
A Day at the Barbers is priced at $175 for 50ml, somewhere in the middle of the pack as far as the house’s pricing goes, and performs very well. Currently I see this available only on the house website but I believe that Perfumology will have the full a catalogue at some point as well.
