Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - At the Barber's EDT
A barbershop fougère reimagined for the modern man. Crisp basil, lavender, and white musk conjure the immaculate feel of a classic shave, making this one of the cleanest and most refined everyday scents in its genre.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Hair Dresser EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of At The Barber's - a aromatic fragrance led by Black Pepper, Bitter Orange, Basil, with warm spicy depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

At the Barber's

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Bright aromatic herbs and citrus make it ideal for spring and fall, evoking freshness and crisp air. Its clean, soapy character suits mild temperatures, while moderate warmth and projection make it less optimal for summer heat or deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and clean, professional vibe are perfect for office and daytime casual settings. The refined fougère structure fits smart-casual dates but is understated for formal events or high-energy sportswear.

Hair Dresser

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The aromatic character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its aromatic, warm spicy signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
