What does Invasion of the Barbers smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer a smaller share. It is chosen most for leisure and daily wear, and also suits the office and evenings. Voters mostly call its character masculine, with some finding it classic.

It follows a fresh, green fougère line. Grasse lavender, bergamot and grapefruit set the bright side, while thyme, cardamom and ginger add spice. Violet leaf pushes the greenness forward, patchouli and musk give a woody, earthy base, and vanilla softens it with a creamy sweetness.
