Shaving Foam
This smells exactly like shaving foam, or gel.
While other fougeres have this aftershave/Eau de Cologne smell, this is smooth and creamy.

Imagine getting a haircut at the barber’s and they spray this eau de cologne on you, this is not that. This is getting this aftershave balm or foam.

Very nice and masculine fragrance!

Slightly minty fresh barbershop fragrance
Barbershop is my fourth try from the VA-based Authenticity Perfumes, and it’s certainly unlike most barbershop fragrances I’ve tried. It’s fresh with some citrus and woods, but there’s a vaguely minty/tingly/menthol-type concept, perhaps due to the mix of sweet basil and fir. The minty/tingly aspect fades within a couple hours, though, and it becomes a bit of synthetic citrus/woods/musk mix in the dry down.

The pricing for Barbershop is similar to the rest of the line, $40 for 60ml in parfum concentration—reasonable for the fragrance. I’d probably rank it similarly to Authenticity, with L’Homme Riche as my favorite.

I've been absolutely loving this stuff. Fresh, clean, classic, but quite modern. Great daily driver.

Beautiful scent - the theme is spot on. Sitting in the chair, the sides come to 0, new hairstyle, and a smile appears!

Moisten the stubbly skin with water & rub in with blue shaving gel, then shave carefully. Nice barbershop (shaving gel) scent.

Clearly a barbershop scent, but this one doesn't smell like aftershave/cologne; it definitely leans more towards shaving cream or shaving foam.
