A fragrance with an excellent quality-to-price ratio. It’s very comforting and goes beyond the initial citrus blast. The performance for what it aims to achieve would also rate it as good. I find it probably better than the Parma Intensa.
Citrusy and woody. Fabulous. It’s definitely one of my favorites and probably the first one I finish when I buy it. It comes with a shaving line that accompanies it, which is also very good.
A classic, elegant, and stately fragrance. It’s citrusy, woody, and clean; it smells like a traditional barbershop. It’s definitely one of my favorites.
Unlike the previous review, I find the EDP a bit weaker and less nuanced than the EDC. Nevertheless, given the price, once I finish this one I’ll switch to the other, what can I do? It’s an Álvarez Gómez with less citronella, less spice, and more floral, with a touch of talc. It’s great for the office, giving off a neat, formal gentleman vibe that’s always valuable in professional settings.
This has become my absolute favorite. For parties, I use Dior Home Intense, Versace Pour Homme, or Chanel Bleu depending on the season, but on weekends I have a sacred ritual: I shave with a straight razor and Martin de Candre shaving foam. Right after, I apply Álvarez Gómez. I used to use their shaving cream, but since they no longer make it, it’s a shame. Its scent accompanies me all day. It’s not floral and light like trendy scents; it has a classic, masculine elegance; it’s citrusy but evolves into something woody. If it were sold under a more glamorous name, it would cost much more. Interestingly, when I’m stressed from work, smelling the bottle transports me back to that peaceful weekend moment. That’s what evocative scents do. It can be worn year-round if dosed well, carrying that touch of vintage perfumes that once defined eras. My daughter, despite me having many perfumes, associates me most with this one; she says I smell like Dad.
I bought the EDP blind for my boyfriend since I couldn’t find the EDC in my city. After years of using Álvarez Gómez’s concentrated cologne and considering the price, I decided it was worth it. The opening isn’t the same as before: instead of that strong lemon note I love in summer, it’s much subtler. Within minutes, I detect rosemary, which I adore. While the projection is weak, it lasts incredibly long on the skin and evolves over time into something simple, elegant, and clean. I’m absolutely thrilled; it’s perfect for everyday wear, non-invasive, and everyone can enjoy it.
I bought the EDP blind for my boyfriend since I haven’t seen the EDC anywhere in my city, but after years of using Álvarez Gómez’s concentrated cologne and considering the price, I thought it was worth it. The opening has nothing to do with the previous one: instead of that strong lemon note I love in summer, it’s much subtler. After a few minutes, I notice rosemary, which I like a lot. Although it has poor projection, it lasts incredibly long on the skin and improves over time until it becomes a simple, elegant, and clean fragrance. I’m absolutely thrilled with the purchase; I think it’s perfect for everyday wear, non-invasive, and something many people can enjoy.
This fragrance is a 100% “hidden gem” or “stealth hit.” I bought it in summer and couldn’t quite understand it at first; it smelled of ginger, a bit disgusting though also interesting with orange. It was on the verge of being relegated to oblivion and ostracism in a bathroom drawer several times. But, from time to time, it kept calling out to me, not really knowing why, so I kept spraying it occasionally… Autumn arrived, and since I kept its sacred sister, the century-old summer Álvarez Gómez, in a box, after showering or shaving, I started reaching for it, at first because I missed its yellow sister, because it’s a barbershop scent, because of the nostalgia and the freshness of the citrus of summer that I hadn’t recognized in it before… And very quickly it revealed itself as a scent that can become a signature fragrance. It lasts hours firmly on the skin, with a trail (moderate) and a scent that becomes very rich because it’s quite elegant and fresh at the same time, classic and Mediterranean, serious, mature, and yet youthful. Considering the price, its versatility, and the context, it’s a fantastic option to have in the collection.
This fragrance is a ‘cover-up’ to the hundred percent. I bought it in summer and didn’t quite understand it at first; it smelled of ginger, a bit unpleasant though interesting with the orange. It was on the verge of being relegated to oblivion in a bathroom drawer several times. But every now and then it kept calling out to me, so I kept spraying it. Autumn arrived, and since I kept its sacred sister, the Álvarez Gómez summer scent that’s over a century old, in a box, I started using it after the shower or a shave. At first, it was out of missing it, out of the barbershop aroma, out of nostalgia, and out of the freshness of the citrus summer scents I hadn’t recognized before. And so, very quickly, it revealed itself as a scent that could become a signature fragrance. It lasts hours firmly on the skin, with moderate sillage, and a scent that becomes very rich because it’s quite elegant and fresh at the same time, classic and Mediterranean, serious, mature, and yet youthful. Considering the price, its versatility, and the context, it’s a fantastic option to have in the collection.
Well, the name says it all, it smells like a barbershop. It’s simple and very discreet, lasting about 4 hours and projecting close to the skin from the start. It feels clean and fresh, but it’s nothing invasive like the classic from the brand; moreover, soon the aromatic part shines through, giving it a bit of depth. It seems correct, no more.
Don’t expect the typical “fresh” smell of their traditional cologne. This is a more “adult” aroma, where ginger plays a major role over the citrus, giving the fragrance a deeper aspect, expanding its use from the typical five-minute wear to something usable in the office or with formal attire (a wedding), since its longevity is much greater. It seems simple, but it’s not. In my opinion, though it might sound bold, it’s nothing to envy the classic Eau Savage from CD. They are sister cousins: Eau Savage is a bit more floral and this one is a bit more woody due to the ginger, but I’m sure if you like one, you’ll like the other, because in the dry down they follow paths not very far apart. It seems suitable for all year round, although probably its performance will be scarce in the cold. Edit: I have both the EDC Concentrated and the EDP. In my opinion, the longevity of the EDC is greater than the EDP. The scent seems practically indistinguishable between both. Oh, nice detail that (at least in the 125ml bottle) the atomizer comes separate and you can use the bottle by screwing it on or like the old “splash” bottles.
I think everyone who has tried this perfume agrees that if it were from another brand, it would remind us of Acqua di Parma, and we’d pay 4 or 5 times its current price. It’s a clean men’s cologne, with a citrus opening more towards orange than the typical bergamot/lemon, and some woody touches that give it a very rich creamy point without falling into retro. If you usually like the Acqua di Parma line, don’t waste time and get one. In Spain, it costs two duros.

¡Olé!!
My review is about the EDP… super rich but lasts only 5 minutes.
I prefer anise finishes over a fool with a pencil, and this Álvarez Gómez fits like a glove, plus I love the bitter notes too. I think it’s that bitter orange that makes it so special, along with the dark freshness of rhubarb. Barbería has fresh notes that aren’t the typical sparkling and luminous, but much more restrained.
Just bought the EDP 150ml set + deodorant + shower gel for €11 at Carrefour. What a fucking bargain! 😄 I recommend it if you like classic colognes. PS: I liked the trigger, very fast.
I’ve been loyal to this EDC version, but the EDP has let me down. Back in the day, the bottles were different: the EDC was darker, the EDP lighter. Now the packaging is identical, but with a cheap Chinese diffuser that won’t open and a tacky design. The scent has changed: the original had a fresh, rounded opening with balanced bitter orange and bergamot, evolving smoothly into woody and musky notes within half an hour—very pleasant. The reformulation is acidic and aggressive at first, then fades away without leaving anything interesting behind. It feels like they dumped cheap synthetics in to cut costs. With the EDC, it was a joy to smell on my shirt the next day; with the EDP, not so much. It’s shrill and a total disaster. It’s a shame they replaced an acceptable product with an inferior one just to sell it cheaper. I’m left orphaned of the good cologne.
I was a loyal fan of the EDC version. The EDP feels much worse to me. Before, I put both bottles side by side, and even the color was noticeable: the EDC was darker and amber-hued, while the EDP is significantly lighter. The packaging change seems like a declaration of intent: previously it was smooth with a good screw-on cap; now it comes sealed with a cheap Chinese cap that won’t unscrew and a flimsy collar. Regarding scent and projection, I’m not fully understood, but my impression is degradation. The old one (Barbería Eau de Cologne) had a fresh, round opening, keeping the top notes longer. It didn’t reach the lemon intensity of the concentrated version but offered more serious, mature, and balanced scents, highlighting the bitter orange in just the right measure and the bergamot. Gradually, within half an hour, it moved to the heart; I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was, but I remember the dry down (from 40 minutes): very woody, a pleasant wood, and a musk touch that stuck. The progression was gradual, no jumps, a sense of a “round” fragrance. The current one (Barbería Eau de Parfum) has an acidic, almost sour opening. It’s aggressive and sharp, and it fades quickly without letting you perceive the subtleties of the EDC. It feels like a failed knock-off, probably to cut costs with inferior components that sound synthetic. With the EDC, it was a joy to smell on my shirt the next day; the EDP doesn’t deliver. If the EDC was “round,” this is “shrill.” A disaster. For a company to load a previously accepted product and replace it with one that slips through with few distinguishing elements (cologne-to-parfum), same box, almost identical bottle except for the cheap collar and diffuser, to cut costs and sell it as the previous one without meeting homologation standards, is a capital error. I’m left orphaned of the Álvarez Gómez Eau de Cologne. I’d rather pay more for better things than pay less for things that are no longer what I was looking for. What a pity.
Classic shaving foam elegance. Evokes rosemary and cedar, that soft masculinity passed down through generations. Reminds me of my grandfather, a scent representing very pleasant savoir-vivre. Kissing a man on the cheek and smelling of warm wood, ginger, and rosemary is very cozy. Barbería has a special, silent, and timeless magic.
Classic elegance of shaving foam. It evokes rosemary and cedar, that timeless and soft masculinity that has been passed down generation after generation. That’s why it reminds me of my grandfather, my father… a masculine aroma that represents a most pleasant savoir-vivre. Giving a cheek kiss to a man who smells of wood, ginger, and warm, very cozy rosemary. Barbershop water has a special, silent, and timeless magic.
An excellent wardrobe staple for lovers of classic colognes. It’s quite similar to Intense Colonia; naturally, when smelled together, you can notice the difference in ingredient quality. Not that Álvarez Gómez’s are bad, simply AdP’s are more pronounced. I recommend doing this comparison in person; it’s a good exercise to check your sense of smell. The quality-to-price ratio is almost unmatched these days.
A solid, budget-friendly gem. It reminds me of my first car, a 1999 Toyota Yaris—small, no AC, low mileage, but indestructible and economical, a beast for any terrain. If that car were a fragrance, it would be this cologne. It’s not for showing off at luxury galas, but it gives you way more than you pay for: that soft, timeless masculinity that’s been passed down through generations. It’s cleanliness and elegance without pretension, perfect right after a shave. A humble product that leaves a great impression on those who know you. A real wonder, man.
One of the good, beautiful, and cheap ones. The first car I bought was a 1999 Toyota Yaris I, no air conditioning, second-hand with less than 15,000 km. What does that have to do with anything? Please excuse me for not getting to the point: that car wasn’t big or flashy, it didn’t have heaters, automatic systems, or a great radio, but it was one of the best Toyota models near the new millennium. It took you wherever you wanted to go (dirt roads, snow, mud), it was tougher than an angry John Wick, and consumed very little, a marvel that the service center couldn’t match in value. If that car were a cologne, it would be Concentrated Barbershop Cologne by Álvarez Gómez. It’s not for dazzling European high society dining on Kobe steak, but it gives you much more than you pay for: it evokes, as @Lux said, ‘that timeless soft masculinity that has passed from generation to generation.’ Yes, we’re talking about cleanliness and elegance without absurd posturing. It’s ideal after a male grooming session (or whoever’s), which, in its humility and good work, ends up being an excellent memory left behind by those who knew and loved the person. A marvel, hey.
I have the EDP. I’ve given it multiple chances, but it just doesn’t convince me. It performs like a cologne; by 2 hours, it’s imperceptible. The aroma doesn’t fully convince me. At least it’s incredibly cheap. I hope to try the EDC, which they say is amazing for its price.
JuanCarlosMarreroPerez: The EDC was delicious. The EDP is different, simply I DON’T LIKE IT; it’s more acidic or sour. What a pity; they ruined it because, as far as I know, they stopped making the EDC (I used to buy 4 or 5 bottles at a time) to make room for the EDP. REGRETABLE. Sorry for your intentions. Best regards.
The comparisons to cologne water seem absurd, but even more ridiculous are the comments claiming the EDC lasts longer than the EDP, come on, that’s not even funny. The truth is, the EDC had a sharper opening, but the EDP takes a different route: it doesn’t aim to be a cologne water for refreshing; it’s a mature perfume in line with Acqua di Parma. It has a sharp, spicy, and bitter citrus opening that gradually turns clean and woody. Asking if it lasts little? First, you’d have to ask what ‘lasting little’ means, because nowadays fragrances last what they last, and mostly not very long, especially those of this type. The difference is that with this one, you can spray without fear and reapply every time you stop detecting it, because the price is laughable for everything it offers. It’s versatile beyond belief, with a truly masculine aroma, not unisex like most that are hard to identify today. There’s no doubt here: it’s for men, with a classic aroma that isn’t ‘old-man-ish’. Anyone who says it’s not a well-rounded product knows nothing about perfumery; it’s a Swiss Army knife, good for everything. For less than 20 euros, you get a set with a 150ml bottle, a 30ml travel size, and for just a couple more euros, a shower gel with the same scent that impregnates the skin and multiplies the perfume’s intensity after a shower. Another thing is that you might not like the aroma, but that’s a matter of taste, not that it’s a bad product. If you like this scent, like I do, you won’t find a better signature or a cheaper one. If you like classic aromas but not outdated ones, give it a try. I don’t understand why there are so few YouTube reviews of this perfume; these are the things worth reviewing, good and affordable products. In that sense, ‘Mono Perfumado’ is the only YouTube reviewer who talks about good and cheap perfumes; I got to know him through an interview he did with Chedd Noir. The rest always review the same stuff; there’s no merit in discovering the good in a 300-euro perfume; the real merit is bringing products like this to light.
The first thing I thought when I smelled it was how much it resembles Acqua di Parma’s Intense Colonia. It’s not a clone, but for a trained nose, the Italian one has more quality and heavier nuances. This Barbershop version is a solid cologne: it evokes a clean, soapy, shaving foam scent with masculine touches that aren’t vintage or testosterone-heavy; it’s elegant and mature, not old. Aside from that, Bois de Portugal by Creed or Scandal by Roja Dove are more mature fougères than this. I only know the EDP, and the quality-to-price ratio is hilarious. It works for any season or situation, from signature scent to elegant or casual events. Very versatile, though not for very young people (under 25). It comes out strong with bitter orange and ginger that later softens into something soapy and delicious. Good performance, lasts 5 hours on me, little to complain about. Projects about a meter for the first hour, then stays as a perceptible bubble for another 4 hours. To those who say it lasts two hours, I recommend spraying more because it’s cheap and can cause olfactory fatigue. With so much musk, it’s impossible for it to last so little. Don’t confuse longevity with projection: being an EDP, it projects less but lasts longer. In short, another great perfume from Álvarez Gómez; if it were Italian or English and cost six times more, it would surely get fewer criticisms. Just the beautiful cut crystal bottle alone is worth the price.
I love this cologne, and for the price, Álvarez Gómez Barbershop is hard to beat. I don’t detect any alcohol; it smells natural and honest, very different from the usual stuff. It goes from a sour citrus opening to a creamy base, lasts 4-5 hours, and stays on clothes all day. It performs amazingly well, doesn’t bother anyone, and is a joy to wear. It’s formal, but I use it for almost everything; ideal for spring/summer or year-round indoors. The atomizer is fantastic, and the price-to-quality ratio is ridiculous.
The scent is exquisite and makes you feel great; you find yourself wanting to keep smelling it. In my case, the EDP lasts about 1.5 hours with moderate sillage; by the second hour, it’s just a personal bubble, and by four hours, it’s gone. For the price, it’s decent, but I’d love for it to last a bit longer.
It’s a great perfume. It opens citrusy, orange, and slightly alcoholic, but the alcohol fades quickly. Once it dries down, it leaves that mix of orange and wood that is super fresh and summery. It lasts about 4 hours and has nothing to do with Acqua di Parma; it takes a different path. The price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable.
It smells like a barbershop but with an unexpected twist: my nose detects it as dry, sweet orange peel with a hint of rhubarb. For the price, it’s a must-buy; I swear I haven’t heard anything like it on the market.
