What legendary 60s fragrances inspired Barrister & Mann RESERVE?

[Fabyan84]

For you Barrister & Mann fanboys, does anyone know the traditional scents that have inspired the Barrister & Mann Reserve aftershaves? I’ve been on a little kick of collecting soaps that are supposed to smell like classic aftershaves so I’m just curious but can’t find any concrete info.

I can gather that Reserve Spice = Old Spice and Reserve Cool = Aqua Velva but what about Classic, Fern and Lavender? The website says they are derived from “legendary” or “60s” fragrances.

Who (wait for it) ... nose?

(I will accept any groaning for that one)

Classic = Gillette sun up
Cool = Floid blue
Fern = Houbigant Fougere Royale
Lavender = Caldey island lavender

bingo on the Spice

the reserve old spice is a great copy of the original....and i also really like the classic gillette sun up, i never smelled the original one to compare but it still brought a big smile to my face.

I found the current Houbigant Fougere Royale (2010) a little too sweet.

Specifically, "heady" as they call it.
