They do not.

Mike's and Kraken are citrus forward. You look to be looking for those outside the normal citrus or powdery (Clubman) type of barbershop scents. Seville and Bandwagon are outside those two groupings. Mayfair for me while different checks enough of the powdery barbershop scent for me to be in that grouping.

I have a tub of Rive and I don't consider that a barbershop scent. It is a clone of a cologne scent.

I am fine with Clubman scents, but would prefer something closer to Fine AB. Will try the Paa cad & razorock american barber.

Also, Rive is a clone of a cologne scent which is made as a hommage to barbershops, some old shaving cream, barbasol or smth like that. So it is a barbershop scent.

Going to have to disagree with the Rive deal.

I am interested in Rockwell barbershop, Stirling Barbershop, BM Seville, WK Mayfair.... But if they are more close to MIckey Lee, Mike's and Maggard Barbershops that's not what I'm looking for.

Thanks

Is there a reason you don't just buy Fine American Blend shaving soap?

I know right. I already suggested it.

CaD and Irving Park smell similar and they both smell similar to Fine American Blend to me. I would say scent strength on the CaD is probably the strongest of this type of scent I've experienced (7 out of 10) and Irving park is behind it (5.5 out of 10). I follow Irving Park with Fine American Blend and it compliments it nicely.

I have Fine AB and I want others with the same scent. Nothing else. There are plenty of bases and artisans out there I want to try, and if I can why not try them in one of my favorite scents.

You have to realize "barbershop" is an umbrella for plenty of scents. There is no a single barbershop. There are french, american, italian etc etc barbershops. Pinaud is barbershop and so is Mike's. And they have almost nothing in common.

If you search for the Rive Gauche online you'll almost always find it under Barbershop scents. Many well known Youtubers in the fragrance hobby put in under best barbershops scents. Even the fragrantica link - under reviews and comments, 90% of them are saying barbershop. It's because it's based on a shaving cream.
