Smoke & leather
Perfumes that smell like a barbershop
These perfumes take on that classic barbershop feel through their herbal and woody facets: crisp tarragon and basil, with lavender and geranium lending a clean, green sharpness. Cedar and a soft tonka bean base add a dry, powdery warmth, so the scent reads as fresh and polished rather than sweet.
