Seville

Barrister & Mann

Founded in 2013 by self-taught perfumer Will Carius in his Boston apartment, Barrister & Mann has grown into one of wet shaving’s most respected artisan houses. Known for pushing the envelope on both scent design and soap chemistry, the brand pairs original, multi-layered fragrances—often anchored in classic fougère or chypre structure—with cutting-edge bases like Omnibus, prized for its dense, slick lather and post-shave feel. Signature releases such as Seville, Le Grand Chypre, Waves, and seasonal cult favorites like Hallows showcase Carius’s storytelling approach to perfumery. All products are formulated, poured, and packaged in small batches in upstate New York, using responsibly sourced ingredients and cruelty-free practices. Today the line spans shave soaps, bar soaps, aftershave splashes and balms, and extrait-strength colognes, earning consistently high marks from reviewers and a loyal global following.

Scent Description

B&M's Seville is an iconic fragrance which is considered by many in the wet shaving community to be one of the standard bearers of the Barbershop scent. Exactly what makes a scent a "Barbershop" is an open question, but most are Fougères characterized by notes of Lavender, Bergamot, Oakmoss, and very often Talc or Powder. Typically, a Barbershop will have a fresh, aromatic bouquet with spicy notes and soapy underpinnings. The risk with many is that they lean too far into the soapy realm and become reminiscent of detergent. Completely not so with Seville, which is a complex Fougère with spicy, zesty, and woody notes which lean towards sweet but remain fresh and invigorating. A must have for serious wet shavers. Perfect for daytime, home, or the office.
