Blind Barber began as a unique concept—a barbershop with a hidden bar tucked away behind the last chair. Since its inception, the brand has expanded to several cities and evolved from grooming essentials to include a fragrance line. I was first intrigued by their scents when @Robb Linnemann-Silverberg introduced us to Shinjuku Mood. Fortunately, Ulta recently began carrying the line in-store, allowing me to sample them in person. The 50 ml bottles retail for $98, and I found two of the three offerings to be full-bottle worthy. Speakeasy This is a sexy, "date night" fragrance. It opens with a fresh bergamot that smoothly transitions into a warm, creamy base. • Top Notes: Lavandin Oil, Bergamot • Mid Notes: Signature Tonka, Violet, Davana • Dry Notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk Shinjuku Mood I can see why this is Robb’s go-to weekend scent. The combination of black tea and cypress is incredibly unique and stands out from any other "tea freshies" I’ve tried. • Top Notes: Black Currant, Black Tea, Cypress • Mid Notes: Lavender Absolute, Resins • Dry Notes: Cedarwood, Suede, Birch Tar Only You, Babe Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. While it features an interesting red plum and star anise profile with a sweet, leathery dry down, I couldn't get past the strong licorice note in the opening. • Top Notes: Star Anise, Red Plum • Mid Notes: Clove Leaf, Saffiano • Dry Notes: Sandalwood, Musk Final Verdict: I walked away with both Shinjuku Mood and Speakeasy. I’ll provide a more detailed update on their performance and longevity once I’ve had the chance to wear them out.

Looking for a fresh and clean fragrance, something that can do everything ,what should I look at? Going to get small decants to ultimately decide but taking feedback on what ones to grab first.

City Rhythm is now taking preorders for two new fragrances being added to their regular lineup. Savannah - another peach-forward scent to add to the growing list of peach fragrances being released to the market this year. Top Notes: Sun Ripened Georgia Peach, Ruby Grapefruit Zest Heart Notes: Tropical Fruit Nectar, Southern Jasmine, Ripe Red Berry Accord Base Notes: Soft Amber, White Suede, Silk Musk I feel like I already have a peach scent with Imaginary Authors, so I will probably pass on this one for now. The other notes don't really appeal to me, either. I'll wait for the reviews on this. DC - Fruity florals with pear and cherry leading the way. Top Notes: Anjou Pear, Pink Pepper, Wild Cherry, Sakura Petals Heart Notes: White Magnolia, Star Jasmine Base Notes: Red Amber, Ivory Cedarwood, Vanilla Silk I don't know. It's not wowing me. I might pick it up if it gets high reviews, but I'm not a big Jasmine fan. This one is a definite sample / decant first for me.
