Which are the best Barbershop Scents?

I like the B&M Seville a lot, but I LOVE the "Antica ricetta" Bignoli amazing scent and protection.

Like many, I have a barbershop affliction and the collection keeps growing... Seville / The Master / Barr Barr. I have enjoyed all of them about 5 times each and prefer them in that order. None of them are bad.

The Master and Barr Barr are both spicy compared to Seville, but there was something sweet about Barr Barr that I could not place my finger on. Cloves? Ginger cookies?

And then it hit me square in the nose when lathering Barr Barr last night.



Root Beer.
 
Added Old Strathcona to the line-up and it's instantly #1 of the Barbershops. Similar to Seville, with more complexity, and a better base. Seville smells fake beside Old Strathcona.

Current unofficial standings:
Old Strathcona (NR) -> Master (+1) -> Seville (-2) -> Barr Barr -> Fleur de France (NR)
 
I like the smell of MdC Original, sort of spicy. It doesn't do well for a straight razor so I no longer use it.
