Lime
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
In classic Will Carius style, Lime is more than the name implies. The opening blast of lime is mouth-wateringly juicy and undoubtedly defines the scent. But lurking behind the scenes is the petitgrain which fleshes out the bouquet with an herbaceousness and subtle woodiness, with is further deepened by the Sibrian fir. All combined, the fragrance is a complex and three dimensional melange of fruits and woods which is zesty, titillating, and playul. Perfect for warmer climes, daytime fun, or a trip to the office.

Base Description
B&M's Omnibus is the epitome of the "yogurty" base. It is tallow-based and whips up quicklly into a luscious, luxurious, creamy, yogurt which is dense and easy to spread with stability and slickness which are more than adequate. Becuase it's so creamy, its cushion is lower than soaps which prioritize volume over density. B&M prides itself on using high quality, natural, ingredients with beneficial skin properties such as coconut milk, goat milk, shea butter, avocado oil, kokum butter, castor oil and capuacu butter. For lovers of the yogurty shave soap, B&M sets the benchmark to beat.
