The title says it all. Seville is great but looking for alternatives. Thanks.
Besides B&M Seville, what is the best barbershop scent?

I never viewed Seville as a barbershop scent per se. After all, it smells a lot like their Latha Limon they discontinued. To me, the best barbershop scent is the third & latest incarnation of Omega soap in the tub (not the cream in the tube) as it smells like the old Erasmic soap (when it had tallow & was good) which was a barbershop standard for ages in the past. Just my 2 cents.

Interesting. I always heard Omega smelled much like Proraso. Is that the older version?
Yes, the first two versions smelled like Proraso, i.e., heavy on the eucalyptus. The newest version out for a few years does not and has the words "SHAVING CREAM" in red at the top of the tub label. This one:

I love the scent of Seville. I also love the scent of Declaration’s Bandwagen. My two favorite barbershops.
When I was a boy and my Dad got his haircut (us too) and a shave I loved the Bay Rum scent he had on the way home. Bay Rum and Old Spice are still my favorite. The old time barber shops had a wonderful odor that would be hard to duplicate. In the shop would be shelves with customers shaving mugs, my Dads was a red and white striped mug.
Mike's Natural Soaps Barbershop. No question. Best in the industry.

If you happen to think Pinaud Clubman smells like barbershop, then try Club CBL by, IMHO, the best soap maker, CBL Premium Soap.

Amen. Great post.
Mikes barbershop and CRSW Barbershop. Both are a wonderful clean scent. Neither spicy, nor sweet, nor powdery.
My favorite barbershop soaps right now are CBL’s and Jeeves of Hudson Street’s barbershops. They lather excellently and pair great with classic barbershop AS like Fine AB and Barbasol.
+1 to both DG Bandwagon and Jeeves
Stirling Barbershop....most definitely....
Best is subjective........but my favorites in that genre as far as scent are:
-Mike's Natural Barbershop
-CBL Barbershop
-WSP Formula T Barbershop
-Soap Commander Honor
-Stirling Barbershop
-Mike's Natural Barbershop
-CBL Barbershop

I vote Fine American Blend - closest I can find to what I regard as barbershop. And, it’s a great performer too!

+2 on Jeeves.
Also, Barrister and Mann Reserve Cool, Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber, Oleo Windy City Barbershop, PAA CaD and Shannon's Soaps Barbershop are all pretty good.
I have some Noble Otter BarrBarr and Summer Break Picture Day that I need to try prior to providing an opinion.

My favorite is Mickey Lee "The Kraken" even though it's not a true barbershop scent. I like the barbershop x aqua mix.
The splash smells more barbershoppy to me. The soap smells soapy. The combo is great though.
Mike's was too sweet for me.
