When it comes to Barbour it is hard not to think of their beautiful quilted coats, perfect for the colder days and staying warm during long walks. It is also hard to imagine that they would be able to encompass these thoughts into a fragrance. Let me tell you, they have, and it is all kinds of awesome.
I adore the simplicity of the packaging. The boxes are plain yet perfectly display exactly what you are getting. Barbour For Him and Barbour For Her.
The bottles inside the box are just as simple yet also feature that unique quilted design most people would recognise as Barbour without even looking at the label.
The For Her fragrance reminds me of walking through flower gardens on a spring day. It’s sweet with a lingering vanilla smell yet the floral notes of rose, jasmine and blush peony really come through when this has been on the skin for a while and warmed. Considering this fragrance costs just £40 for a 50ml bottle it really lasts and I can still smell it at the end of a long day in the office.
The For Him fragrance compliments the female version so nicely with a touch of floral from violet leaves and a bit of spice with cinnamon and black peppercorn. The lingering notes of vetiver, sandalwood and musk are what I can smell at the end of the day making it yet another long lasting fragrance. It is the same price as the For Her fragrance at £40 for a 50ml bottle.
Both fragrances are exclusively available at Selfridges and you can purchase them online HERE.
