Key Notes of Burning Barbershop
What Does Burning Barbershop Smell Like
Burning Barbershop by D.S. & Durga opens with a vivid smoky aroma, akin to a freshly stoked fire. Adding to this initial smokiness is a gentle hint of hemlock fir, lending a forest-like freshness. Citrusy tang of lime punctuates this smoky start, while a slightly sweet undertone of spearmint lingers in the background.
As this smoky-citrusy combination settles, lavender absolute moves to the forefront, its floral note providing a soothing counterpoint to the initial intensity. A whisper of Turkish rose makes a faint but noticeable appearance, a subtle floral accent amidst the stronger scents.
The perfume then settles into a warm, resinous base. The dominant note of burnt oil has a deeply woody character that's reminiscent of an old barbershop. There's a hint of hay that adds a dry, grassy scent, evoking imagery of rustic country fields. Finally, a touch of vanilla brings in a soft sweetness, toning down the smoky and woody elements without overshadowing them.
Overall, Burning Barbershop projects a robust, smoky, spicy, and woody aroma, with traces of freshness from lime and spearmint, floral elements from lavender and rose, and a comforting warmth from burnt oil, hay, and vanilla. The scent is rich, yet tempered by these diverse notes resulting in a well-rounded olfactory experience.
Review of Burning Barbershop
Burning Barbershop by D.S. & Durga is a perfume that doesn't shy away from making a bold impression. It's an assertive scent that speaks to its target audience—men who appreciate a smoky, spicy aroma with woody undertones, making it absolutely ideal for fall and winter. This fragrance's character leans towards the mature, and it's easy to see why. The scent profile is complex, yet not overwhelming, like a well-aged whiskey that's smooth and full of depth.
During the evening, its distinct smoky character comes into its own, making it a great companion for a night out or casual get-together. However, it's not limited to these scenarios alone. It can also serve as an interesting choice for daily wear or even in a business setting, given its persisting longevity.
The presence of Hemlock fir, Lime, and Spearmint in the top notes gives this fragrance a certain freshness, which balances the smoky and spicy aspects. The Lavender absolute and Turkish rose in the middle notes add a touch of refinement, while the base notes of burnt oil, hay, and vanilla give it a warm, comforting finish.
However, it's important to note that this scent may not be everyone's cup of tea. The smoky tones can be intense, and for those who prefer lighter, sweeter, or more floral fragrances, Burning Barbershop may feel a tad overpowering. The sillage is also moderate; it won't fill a room, but it's definitely noticeable for those in close proximity.
In terms of value, Burning Barbershop is a solid perfume that delivers on its promises. It's an unconventional fragrance that dares to challenge the norm.
