Burning Barbershop

"Burning Barbershop is one of the oldest fragrances we make. It's a classic barbershop fougère. So this is a classic accord, meaning fern. You have oak moss, hay and lavender. And it gives a very iconic note that everyone knows because your grandpa probably smelled like it. And this traditional barbershop tonic with mint, pine, rose, and lime has gone through a devastating fire. So it smells smoky, which makes it a little bit more sophisticated than a traditional barbershop fragrance."

The other original mainstay of DSD along with Cowboy Grass. A truly old fashioned dandified visit to ye old barbershop through classic aromatic association—lavender, pine, mint, roses, vanilla‚with a unique modern twist: devastating smoke.

Burning Barbershop is a fougere—a classic genre of usually men’s fragrances that use hay and vanillic notes with herbal lavender and the bitter green base of oakmoss. It is instantly recognizable on grandpas everywhere.

This is the scent of a fougere that’s been through fire.

I imagine the bottle was full, cooking in the extreme heat of the blaze until the glass was black and cracked. After the embers had cooled, it was dug out underneath the rubble. Inside, stuck to the glass was the cooked resin of all that was fresh and inviting from the cologne.

So you have the brightness of limes, cleanliness of lavender, joy of roses, zing of mint, and the sweetness of vanilla all cooked down into a rectified solid mass.
