This time, we're going more in-depth on the history of the genre, as well as 14 different recommendations for all levels of collectors.

More honorable mentions I can’t believe I forgot to mention:
Gravitas Pour Homme (Intrigued)
Eight & Bob Egypt (Starting)
Enjoy!
I'm shocked you didn't include Invasion Barbare...one of my absolute favorite barbershop fragrances of all time and quite possibly the best one and smells amazing 🤩
@@keithhogan2336 I included it on screen as one of the honorable mentions in the beginning. I simply don’t have it.
DS Durga’s Burning Barbershop
@@stayfreshproductions don’t know if this has been called out yet, but the perfumer for Slight of Fern, Stephanie Bakouche, also created Invasion Barbare. Ordered a sample of Slight after watching this video.
Pinaud Clubman is the actual Barbershop Fragrance that absolutely dominated in the American barbershops from the 1940s through the 1970s. When people referred to the barbershop fragrance, this was literally the fragrance they were talking about.
It’s amazing to me that “barbershop” scents are not mentioned on any of the top influencer channels, it’s mainly the typical Versace Eros/Spice Bomb/D&G, I bought Tom Ford Beau De Jour last week after testing it in the store, and I literally immediately put that in my top 3 of all time. Bought it on the spot. Expensive, but amazing. And I didn’t know why it isn’t being talked about more. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
TFBDJ is such an amazing scent. I’ve literally watched every video out there on it.
Yes, great point, such a hidden gem for those of us lucky enough to discover this genre of fragrance!
Sartorial,is definitely one of my favorites.
As usual Justin you've managed to peak my interest in some fragrances that no one else is discussing in the community. Great content 👍.
Thanks Michael.
Hey Justin, this was a really informative video. I really enjoy the tier system, it does a good job of including everyone and tapering expectations. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Justin! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Recently started to get intrigued by fragrances. Your video is by far the best I’ve seen. You are informative, with some historical context, and you have a great voice and presentation. I hope you have lots of success with this channel and sharing your passion for fragrances.
Thank you Sean! I appreciate that.
I enjoy everything barbershop fragrances! This is my favourite genre and the one that got me into this hobby since I wanted to replicate the memories of my father using the classics like Brut and Old Spice. This style of perfumery was the mainstream masculine type until the mid nineties with the last mainstream fougere being the Dolce & Gabbana pour homme. Then came the aquatics that put an end to the fougere reign. Great choices there Justin and very informative as always! Bracken man is in my wishlist but I heard it has been reformulated like most Amouages.
You're speaking my language. Same reasons. My father always smelled great too.
Awesome video. This style of commentary, with the quality of production, is what TH-cam needs. Thanks for sharing
This is the video I’ve been wanting for a long time. Love the educational piece and the options.
Love Fougere Royale ! I have 2 back up bottles . . .
I usually wear it when dressed up and in a professional setting during the daytime.
Thanks so much for sharing
I've sampled (and own) quite a few barbershop fragrances, and my top 3 are:
1. Tom Ford BDJ (my current signature scent)
2. Amouage Bracken Man
3. Houbigant Fougere Royale
Depending on how you define a barbershop scent, Bracken Man might be considered by some more strictly a fougere, but I'm including it here.
Sauvage Elixir is up there too, although I consider that even more of a departure from a traditional conceptualization of a barbershop scent.
Viking is in my last spot as #5 (unless I'm considering Bois Du Portugal a barbershop fragrance, in which case I place it above Viking).
I really want to sample TF's Fougere d'Argent someday as I know many people rank it above BDJ.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite categories of fragrance that I recently fell in love with.
edit; gotta give a shoutout to Zaharoff Signature and Signature Noir too. Love both of those, and could knock out some of my top 5 depending on the day. In general though, I find them soapier than the others, and so they take a lower spot for me. I love the overall scents but generally want to smell like cologne rather than soap, if that makes sense.
I need to sample Fougere D'Argent myself.
@@stayfreshproductions I hope you do, I'd love to watch your review!
Fougere D Argent is smoother and definitely superior to Beau de jour in my opinion. Probably my favourite from the entire Tom Ford house along with Oud Wood
@@steliosc.4686 sounds awesome, I'll have to buy a sample if I can find one
Ahhh!!! Viking and Sartorial make me happy. Glad to see them on this list.
Love a good barbershop fragrance/aromatic fougeres. Great choice for the next topic on this type of video. My current favorite is Masculin Pluriel by MFK. Not sure if you’ve tried that one, but guessing you have. To me it’s the perfect modern take on a classic barbershop fougere. Very high quality. Somewhat similar to sartorial and BDJ. More modern to me.
Another that is becoming a favorite is Bon Monsieur by Rogue Perfumery. Small batch, niche, not IFRA compliant, founded by Manuel Cross. You absolutely need to get your nose on this one if you haven’t. It’s affordable and insane quality. Real oakmoss, retro, but super natural smelling, they really don’t make them like this anymore. Perfectly blended take on a classic fougere; could become my favorite.
Scandal is a beast, so fresh and deep with just a tiny funk you can hardly tell is there but you know it is! Done in a way to make the fragrance better. Bracken is amazing but the cloves are just a tiny bit overkill! Love those two for certain occasions. Check out Endymion by Penhaligon’s, too. Familiar yet unique, kinda dreamlike, coffee in the dry down
Describing creed viking as "hot" is right on the nose for me, no pun intended! But it's funny because I actually love to wear Viking when going to the barber shop, I love the aroma of Viking Here and there especially when you're dressed well and feeling confident! Definitely a top Creed fragrance for me!
Great video stay well❤️
Thank you! Yes it’s awesome.
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for, as someone new to the world of fragrance looking for a barbershop scent. Thank you, Justin.
Glad it was helpful!
I always reach for a Barbershop Fragrance when I can't decide what to wear. That said some of these are refined and can be dressed up like Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme and Tom Ford Beau de Jour . Luckily I own all but 2 on this list so I should be good. Thanks for the content!
One of my recent discovery of a fougere/barbershop fragrance is from the house of guerlain..
it’s Habit Rouge de Guerlain, EDP..
the opening bursts with citrus and woodsy notes, giving a vibe of walking out of a barbershop with fresh cut, in the 80s/90s..
And the dry down turns into a smoky, leathery kind of vibe..
absolutely love it. My first fragrance from this house, and it gives niche quality in a designer price..
I think it’s really underrated, and needs to be discovered more..
I’ve never gotten into barbershop scents too much but I do have Platinum Egoiste and Viking - I really enjoy them both
Those are two of my favorites! Add TF Beau de Jour and that’s my top 3. I’m glad CPE is slept on bec I’m def the only one in the room wearing it, I can be sure. Peace!
Great content as always, Justin. Loving the three-tier format. Wearing B-612 today from a sample and thoroughly enjoying it. Other favorite barbershops are Rogue Bon Monsieur and DS & Durga Burning Barbershop.
Glad that you brought up that barbershop is more of a sub-genre. I love Prada Amber PH Intense, which is listed as an Amber Fougere but doesn’t resemble a barbershop at all. Might be an interesting topic - fougeres that you won’t find at the barbershop.
Thank you!
This video made sit back, take a drink and listen to every word Justin. This is one of my scentprofiles as about half of my collection is aromatic fougère/ barbershop. Non of these perfumes in my collection smell the same and you did mention a few I got in your choices. Your choices I really did like sir! You gave me a few new perfumes I haven't tried yet. Personaly I truly love Fougère Royal and Pasha EdT. Some perfumes you mentioned are just over my budget and I have to pass on those, but the others I don't know yet, I defenitaly will get a sample of. Thank you so much.
Justin, great list! Surprised TF Fougere D’Argent wasnt in here taking over Beau du Jour. thanks for the other fougere recs too! Looking forward to Scandal!
And my SOTD is Viking! Love it!
I didn’t have Fougère D’Argent yet at the time I made this video!
Yes! Braken Man is close to being a signature scent for me. It's so good!
I'd like to get my nose on Slight of Fern, that one sounds really great.
I have often wondered how the term Fougere which was originally made as an accord ; became its own classification of scents along with Chypre, Citrus aromatic , and the now frowned upon ORIENTAL. Due to the sympathetic world we exist in. The term fougere hase broadened so drastically that many don’t even rely on the FERN accord. I know there is that technical breakdown of what a fougere should be however it’s amazing how the after all Dior sauvage of all things is a fougere. Miles from that lovely Houbigant that initiated the genre. As of late my favorite fougere is Patric cologne of all things. It’s a very Un talked about fougere that can be had for under 50 dollars. And found in any insist gift shop at least here in the north east. It is super green fresh and makes a great wear on an early Sunday morning when the weather is great and you need a change from the usual suspects.
Seconding the recommendation if you mean Patrick Cologne by Fragances of Ireland, it is great! Patrick Cologne reminds me a bit of two affordable classic fougeres which are missing in this video, even missing from the photo of missing ones at 2:46: Tabac EDT, and Grey Flannel.
@@raulsaavedra709 yes Patrick cologne. Very lovely. No one ever talks about it and it’s outstanding for what it does in its price point.
Can´t stop praising this series! Informativ, entertaining, enaibling - and a broad spectrum of interesting picks. Finally got my Cartier samples - would not have tried these without your "broken record recommmendation" - Pasha EdT and "Declaration" are great! Thx for insisting!
Thank you Martin!
You read my mind. I was thinking the other day about how you are one of the only fragrance youtubers that talks about barbershop fragrances. Was gonna comment on a video suggesting you make a video dedicated to them, and boom, here it is. I guess while on the subject I should ask, Do you wet shave? If so, what are some of your favorite soaps and aftershaves? Lately, I've been loving my set of dapper doc from Phoenix shaving.
TF beau de jour is the most amazing thing I've ever smelled. I can't imagine someone not loving it.
Love these kinds of videos. One of my favorite parts of collecting niche is the history and stories. Thank you and keep them coming!
Thank you Ryan!
Viking is good and highly underrated. It lasts all day on me in hot, humid environment. Solid performer!
I am in love with barbershops at the moment! The market is so saturated with Amber wood and gourmand fragrances right now.
barbicide is an amazing scent. i love coming out of the barbershop after having that quick spritz on the back of my nect after a haircut. if they could bottle that i would wear the crap out of it. so ultra clean and fresh. i bought "at the barbershop", but it isnt barbicide enough for me.
Great selection! I want to mention something I discovered recently in Italy and fits this category - L'Erbolario Assenzio - very good smell and great value.
I just got Beau De Jour this week and wore it tonight for the first time. I like it. I had to decide between it and Sartorial. Now I want to get Sartorial too.
Awesome take, Justin.
I felt like we were in class with this presentation on fougeres.
I tried Houbigant last year out of respect for the art and being the OG fougere. I respect it more than I like it because it carries the eve fougere gene.
Roja Scandal (both concentrations) is my all-time fav.
But whenever I wear my Maison Francis Kurkdjian Masculine Pluriel, it smells like straight barbershop NO chaser.
I mean, I can almost see the red white and blue barber pole swirling in the air. Lol
Thank you! I need to get Masculine Pluriel.
Not the guy for fougeres, but this video has a lot of effort put in, so I'm just here supporting for the level of detail. Wouldn't think of B-612 as a fougere in my head, Bracken is probably the most clearcut one in this video (haven't tried everything listed).
Polo Safari has that Barbasol vibe. It's got this alcohol vibe mixed with leather. It's smells like you just shaved.
Wonderful video!
Your personality and viewpoint on fragrance is always eloquent and honest.
Wow, thank you!
Love this video, the genre of Fougere is my favourite, some absolutely bangers here
Ngl before now, I found your channel very polarizing. Sometimes I felt your tastes were just trying to be different for differences sake which came off as snobbish to me. But I appreciate your knowledge of frags and the detail you go into when describing them. It’s very educational. This vid was very informative of a fragrance genre I have very little experience in and I think your vids in general help with areas most people are not experienced in. Subscribed ✊🏾
I appreciate that
Haven’t wore Viking in a minute but busted it out because of this video.
I really like Nishane B-612. I can't wait to start wearing it again in the spring.
I chose TF Grey Vetiver of Beau di jour. But that is nice. I also recently tried Floris london number 89, and ordered a bottle, very elegant. The longer i'm into fragrances the more i've opened up to different genres of scents. Now I have an unrelated question. My 23 year old son is going to be getting married at the end of this year. He has gotten into scents a bit more due to my obsession. What would a few recommendations would you maybe have for me to gift him as a wedding scent so that he can have that scent connection to his wedding and also think of his dear old day, on his special day? Maybe a video on scents for special occasions? OR scents to share with sons just starting out? Mine was strictly a polo red from his early teens, and since I've gotten into it he has gravitated to things such as amourage epic man, and iniito rehab.
Love the video Justin. Barbershop fragrances are one of my favourites. That feeling of walking out of a barbershop with that fresh cut and that lavender and freshness just got me feeling so fresh and so clean. Haha love the list and beau de jour and Viking are absoluteeeee bangers
Thank you!
Viking is incredible ! 🔥 Sartorial is a must have in everyones collection to me , will remind you of the old scholl Brut scent its so good. TF BDJ is terrific too , it gets really clawing to me very metallic but smells amazing .
No doubt!
Another banger video Justin--love the uniqueness of this channel. I personally love the fougere genre, and I really love how the niche market is attempting to put contemporary spins on a very old-school scent profile. Have you had the chance to smell TF's 'Fougere D'Argent'? Talk about an awesome fragrance. I guess this wouldn't be considered a traditional fougere by fougere puriest, but this stuff is just awesome and very unique--definitely niche smelling. The opening of ginger and orange is beautiful and the dry down with the slight sweetness of the tonka is to die for. This is a signature scent for me in the fall months when the hoodies and sweater come out. I just don't hear any reviewers talking about this scent. Love the channel bro--keep up the good work!
Thanks Malcolm. I haven't tried it but I'd like to
No gimmicks .. just informative and helpful. Thanks!
Definitely saving this video as well. This Is the “guide” I needed. My next two purchases will likely be from this genre. I really liked that TF when I sampled It.
Thanks Justin! I like the video format, appreciate the topic and thank you for your suggestions... there are a few that I think will become part of my collection!
Houbigant bottle is gorgeous damn🔥
What a GREAT video, Justin. Thank you. I've been trying to get a grip on this type of fragrance and having that "beginner" section was perfect! Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I love fougere's and they make up the majority of my daily wear. My favorites are The Tragedy of Lord George (my all time favorite scent), At the Barber, Bracken Man and Vert Fougere. I have a bottle of Beau Du Jour but I don't wear it as often due to the sharpness. I've tried samples of a ton of others such as Sartorial, Scandal, Viking but I haven't liked any of them enough to get a full bottle.
The next on my list to try is Fougere Royale.
Whenever I think of "fougere" fragrance notes, I immediately think of: lavender, oak moss, herbal notes, green notes and maybe honey or leather.
I'm a big fan of this genre for spring especially - can really pull it off any time of year... other times I like to wear these are whenever it's cloudy and/or rainy (not sure why, but it just works)
I own Nishane B-612 & Creed Viking from this list - I had a decant of Tom Ford Beau de Jour
I'm surprised and almost disappointed you didn't mention (imo) the KING of barbershop frags: Invasion Barbare by Parfums MDCI - a bit pricey (i got the bottle without the bust) - old barbershop vibe with modern twist... if you've smelled it you get what I mean... I was gunna say modern take... but the old/traditional vibe is still there. You really do get what you pay for here as well.... performs great, projects well (but it's not super loud, like it's a smooth scent that projects)...if you've never smelled it... some people compare it to 1725 Histoires de Parfums - similar, not really the same... same ballpark though. if you've never smelled it, suggest getting a sample or travel spray - and it would for sure make this list
another one is Happyland Studios Barbershop.Great indie fragrance house from perfumer EJ Wells. His take on barbershop, I like to describe is modern and old school combined
Bought Sartorial, B-612 and Pasha on your recommendation Justin, I've enjoyed them so much...thank you!
Glad you like them!
Thank you Justin for putting this video up ( a year ago and I just watched it first time) . Amazing content as always. Now let me say I do not like "barbershop" Fougères at all, not just one bit, BUT , ( there's a big but) my wife, she LOVES THEM on me.... so I am forced to buy them and accept them as presents...(yeey...😒) and this guide will definitely help me through my painful journey of wearing them. Thanks again, I will share this with my wife ASAP...( unfortunately I have to )
I’m glad it was helpful. And maybe someday they will grow into your taste.
So sad to see Amouage discontinued. This was my first niche perfume and after i began to appreciate it is one of favorites in my collection. Time to hunt for a another bottle as mine is almost empty
My personal favorite is MDCI Invasion Barbare. Spicy ginger with Grapefruit Clean Soap
Great video, thank you. I've been hunting barbershop scents recently so I'll definitely try some you mentioned. Meleg Perfumes also has a Japanese sandalwood incense scent that I tried recently and enjoyed. Anyway, thank you for the thoughtful and informative content. Subscribed!
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you've found some scents you enjoy!
I wore Maison Margiela At the Barbers quite a bit but got a bottle of Nobile 1942 Fougere Nobile and it seemed like the same but with a added note that elevated that scent. from Maison version.
Great educational video, JC. I love this series
Thank you Stuart!
Thank you, Justin. Just the video I was searching for at the moment. Just exploring this fougere/barbershop space and I really want to own one. Have decant of Tom Ford BdJ and I find it really fascinating. At the Barber's smells awesome but I will probably skip all of that and buy Fougere Royale. And yes, also tried MFK Masculin Pluriel and man... Words escape. Apparently close to Zaharoff, might buy Signiture Pour Homme instead. Great video.
Great vie Justin been waiting on your take on this genre...my fav 3 Prada amber intense, Zaharoff signature por Homme and pdm darley
Fougere D Argent - Tom Ford
Rive Gouche- YSL
Italian Bergamot- Zegna
Azzaro pour homme
Very specific and articulate reviews. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Maculine Plurial, Lavande 44 and Bon Monsieur are great too
Thanks Justin.
Now I'll have to save up to get myself the margiela and creed one. Lol
You got it! Hope you enjoy!
Been waiting for this!
Original Brut was a revolution in men's fragrance. Paco Rabbane took it the next level. Rive Gauche was the best I've had. Never tried the TF or niche fragrances. Jacques was that mastermind behind Rive Gauche. Sadly real oakmoss is gone. I've yet to smell modern Paco Rabanne pour homme and I'm nervous to. Brut in the USA hasn't been the same for a long time. You don't have to spend money on niche brands to experience excellent barbershop scents. They can be cheap and get alot of compliments. PR and RV are still the most complimented fragrances I've ever with one younger coworker begging me to never stop wearing Rive Gauche. Sadly oakmoss is banned and I'm not in the states to smell modern batches of PR or Brut aftershave (the cologne is terrible) also if you every buy a fragrance with its alcohol based aftershave counterpart, it will tend to have that barbershop scent in moderation. La Nuit De L'hommes alcohol based aftershave should be much more valuable than the pre 2014 edt batches. That aftershave was LNDL on steroids.
I loved Duc De V! It reminded me of coast deodorant soap.
Justin,
A great video and what Luke H said!! 👏 👏👏
Thank you!
Hi Justin have you ever tried fougere nobile from the brand Nobile 1942? It’s a really lovely frag it has notes of licorice tobacco and a musky dry down. It also has a very unique open with a soda water accord the really sets it apart from basically all others of tried. I learned about it from Mr Smellys channel a few years back. It’s a real hidden gem. However it leans mature I’d say 30 and up. I wouldn’t imagine younger people caring for it but still it’s a great frag that IMO is very well done. Still waiting for you to eventually try out Invasion Barbare as well.
I haven't!
Scandal cologne has definitely grown on me.
Great descriptions of your selections.
Thank you 🙏🏾
C.O. Bigelow Elixer white . On Amazon previously sold at Bath and Body works . Its a cheapie but goodie barbershop type fragrance. I have Creed Viking , , Pasha De Cartier , PDM and other expensive fragrances so it’s not like I don’t know what high end good quality stuff smells like I’m just saying try it .
Great review. Barbershop fragrances are definitely not a mainstay in my collection but I do appreciate the genre. Nishane’s B-612 is in my collection and I love it! Bracken Man and the Sleight Fern are on my list . Any thoughts on the ideal wearing climate for this genre?
I think they're perfect for all-season wear! Some are more versatile than others. Thanks!
I sniffed 'Slight of Fern' and it still haunts me.
That bad?
@@stayfreshproductions That Good!
Awesome video Justin!
Thanks!
Great video! One of my all time favorite scents is Xerjoff's Mefisto Gentleuomo - and it's described as "barbershop-ish", so I wanted to get some more info on the genre. Would you consider MG a barbershop fragrance?
I can see it in the genre! Love that one.
Can anyone help me finding something that is very soapy-sweet and clean, maybe even a bit of minty? I can't find anything like that
Would you put Chanel Platinum Egoiste into this mix? Or just fougere? What are your thoughts on it anyway?
I get that. It's a classic. Very fresh. Wore it 20 years ago. Keep meaning to get another bottle
Definitely. Good stuff. I don't own it.
@@stayfreshproductions I have sartorial which I love. Great fragrance!
Also Drakkar noir is a good candidate.
Definitely. That's why I put it on screen at the beginning as an honorable mention. Around 2:47
Out of the fragrances mentioned in the video, I strongly dislike the way Beau de Jour smells on my skin. On the other hand (physically speaking too since I have one sprayed on my left hand and the other on my right), At the Barber's works great on my skin. However, my favorites in the Fougere category are Platinum Egoiste, Green Irish Tweed, and Russian Leather.
A valuable resource indeed!!!!
Truefitt and hill colognes mostly a barbershop fragrance
When I started with fragrances, aromatic fougeres were my least favorite. 3 years in, it's has become my favorite. 3 of my favorites are Roja Scandal, Eight and Bob Egypt and Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme.
I would add Frank of Los Angeles #2
Another great video Brother
Informative as always good sir! Are you doing one for Leather Tabac or did I miss it?
I haven't done it!
How would you compare Fougère Royale to Chanel egoiste platinum and at the barbers, I love the smell of both but I have no way to sample royale. Does it smell similar to the other two because if so I will definitely blind buy at 109$ ( I don’t know how long that deal will last lol)
This was a great and somewhat necessary video. 🙏
Haha, "somewhat". 😆
Thank you Kevin.
Thanks!
Right up my alley.
Nice video. Can you include performance and longevity going forward. Thanks
Performance is very subjective, and may not actually be helpful to talk about. Your mileage will vary! I recommend sampling based off of your interest in the scent first, and then see how it performs. Thanks for watching.
Vintage ZIno has nothing to do with Beau De Jour, they are completely different scents, if you don't have vintage Zino get it, it's one of the best scents, it's suede patchouli. Pasha is great, it also has dense and rich smell, and of course together with Beau De Jour maybe not for the new overhyped massproduction scent users, but for everyone that has good taste.
Great review
Thoughts on Cologne Indélébile or French Lover by Frederic Malle?
Haven't tried them yet
Is there any notable clones/dupes which are cheaper to the said perfumes listed?
Not that I know of.
Have you tried Jaques Bogart pour Homme? 15 dollar barbershop bomb.
I haven’t tried it, I‘ve heard a lot about it
Much success! God bless!
Hello,between Houbigant-Fougere Royale and Nicolai-New York Intense which one is the better fragrance if you could buy only one?
I haven’t tried New York Intense yet. Have you tried them both?
@@stayfreshproductions I have only tried Fougere Royale which i find stunning but i've heard so many good things about New York Intense....Thanks for the fast response though.
