Strathcona was a trading town on the southern banks of the North Saskatchewan River, serving as neighbour and a trading partner with the city of Edmonton north of the river. A few short years after finally reaching “city” status, Strathcona was absorbed by the faster growing Edmonton and was amalgamated in 1912. Today, this area is recognized as “Old Strathcona” and is home to the city’s cultural center, hosting many of our festivals, independent theatres and music venues, all while communicating its history through original architecture.

It makes sense then that we chose this story as the inspiration for our barbershop scent. A barbershop (as it applies to the perfumery world) has a strong “fougere” element (lavender, geranium, coumarin), a combination that was discovered by perfumers in the 19th century. Fougere has become a staple in the fragrance industry with many modern innovations that have continually revitalized the scent, keeping tradition alive while still moving forward.

Our version makes a bold herbal opening with the inclusion of basil and tarragon, both of which share some similarities with anise but remain distinct. Bergamot and lemon round out the opening, folding into a floral heart of rosewood, carnation and geranium. The base of the scent is the true star, featuring white patchouli, tonka bean, a trio of tree mosses (oak, cedar, pine), a touch of vetiver and tenacious mushroom for a touch of earthy saltiness.

We’ve excluded the classic lavender addition to make room for rosewood which gives ours a floral sweetness distinct from the more common lavender fougeres.

Please note that I am using natural tree mosses which are suspected to cause skin sensitization in some individuals, although there is some controversy behind that. All the same this is your warning so you can make a decision that best suits your skin.

Contains paraben and pthalate free fragrance oil in addition to essential oils and absolutes.
