While some reviewers wear this year-round and for every occasion, its mature and sophisticated character, driven by warm spicy and amber accords, makes it less ideal for casual sports and better suited to formal settings or evening dates. The barbershop clean feel lends itself well to office wear, but its bold presence might be a tad much if oversprayed.

About

Highlands takes you on a journey through a rugged landscape with its dominant warm spicy and amber accords. Lavender and woody notes provide a classic fougere-barbershop vibe, while a hint of animalic depth ensures it's more than just a clean shave. The spicy core, with whispers of clove, gives it a robust character, balanced by a touch of powdery softness that appears in the dry down.
