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.

A sharp, woody, and energetic citrus fragrance that ditches the "lipsticky" iris of older Dior scents for a modern, masculine punch. ​Key Notes: ​Top: Sparkling Lemon, Bergamot, and Aldehydes (crisp & airy). ​Mid: Pink Pepper and Elemi (spicy & resinous). ​Base: Frankincense, Amber, and Wood (warm & sophisticated). ​Longevity: 8–10 hours. Exceptional performance for a fresh EDT; it hangs on much longer than typical "sport" scents. ​Occasion: The ultimate "anytime" fragrance. Perfect for the gym, high-heat summer days, the office, or casual weekend outings. ​Summary: It’s bright enough for the heat but has enough woody "backbone" to work as a year-round signature scent.

Hey, as a lot of you guys know, I have been searching, and others here have been searching for Michael Malul Southslope out in the wild at Marshalls. I'm willing to purchase a bottle and send the money. If you spot one, please list the marshals where you spotted it. Thank you.
