D.S. & Durga Burning Barbershop pairs the fresh fougère feel of a barber's chair with a smoky, resinous burn, and leans clearly masculine.

What does Burning Barbershop smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits leisure time and evenings. Most voters call it masculine, and some find it classic.

It opens with hemlock fir, lime and spearmint, which bring coolness and a green edge. In the heart, Turkish rose, tuberose and lavender absolute add a soft floral layer. At the base, vanilla sweetens while burnt oil and hay pull the scent toward a dry, smoky finish.
