Just this. It's cultural but Clubman defines it for me, too.

Pinaud Clubman is a must try. It's THE barbershop scent for me.

CaD and Fine American blend will be very similar to American Barber.

Stirling Barbershop is one of my favorite scents, but not a typical barbershop. It's heavy vanilla and powder.

WSP and Razor Emporium's Barbershops are very similar and worth trying.

The "barbershop" description clearly gets pretty varied... but I'll add B&M Seville to the list.

Pinaud Clubman reminds me of the barbershop in Ireland I got my hair cut in, as a young lad. Dash of clubman talc on the neck after the trim.
I bought some Pinaud AS early on because of it’s popularity on here, not knowing what it was.
It’s nostalgia in a bottle. I don’t use it very much though. It’s a bit cloying.
I just take a sniff every now and then.

I have the epsilon Mediterranean blue soap. I agree it’s not an appealing scent, but then again I am not a professed fan of barbershop scents.

I have and use the A&E Barbiere Sophistico soap and aftershave. The soap is a little better scent than the Epsilon Mediterranean but slightly less powdery. I don’t like the powdery scent in general. The aftershave from A&E is the real gem of the set I have. I actually love thethis aftershave and the scent is not as powdery and has a wonderful floral note to it that I enjoy immediately and throughout my day.
