Barrister’s Reserve Classic (Barrister & Mann) spiced fougère
Shave 5 ・ 108 g left

Fridays I like to watch an episode of Endeavour, a British crime drama set in the 1960s. The scripts, sets, and period costuming carry me right back to the sights and sounds of the time. But until we get smellovision, I’ll have to rely on Barrister & Mann’s Reserve line to reveal the scents of the Sixties. Lucky for me, Will has made one soap that encapsulates all the major olfactory trends of that decade. Classic, based on Gillette’s Sun Up aftershave of 1964, is a combination of fougère notes sprinkled with bay rum and warm spices. Seems like Gillette’s people couldn’t decide what they really wanted to make, so they dumped everything they had into one bottle and gave it a good shake. What came out was Brut mixed with Old Spice, a little something for every shaver no matter his taste. Unfortunately this approach rarely works, and Gillette's Sun Up eventually faded away. The same fate seems to have befallen Barrister & Mann’s Classic, too. I no longer see it among their offerings.
