A Typical Barbershop Scent??

BarberShop scent is a very broad scent description and in my opinion it differs from place to place. For example; a 'barbershop scent' lotion/aftershave will be different in America then Italy or Spain.
My suggestion would be; American Aqua Velva and Skinbracer, Pinaud Clubman(I've heard and read that it was widely used by barbers in America, not that I been to America and saw it personally but it is a nice and a classic scent and inexpensive), Lucky Tiger Aspen, Lustray Blue Spice, Myrsol Blue.

Thanks for that. I think I am now beginning to realise just how broad the description is! The only soap I have which has a designated 'Barbershop' scent is OSP.....and the easy way out would be to buy the matching fragrance.
I frequently use my own mix of shea, cocoa and coconut as an after shave moisturiser. This takes a little time for absorption into the skin so I usually apply an AS which speeds things up. By this description....I could probably use rubbing alcohol but I would prefer something with a nice short lived scent while I decide what EDT to apply. At the moment Clubman and Myrsol Blue are the favourites from those discussed.
 
I thought every ''barbershop'' is the same or at least close.
It's not.
I have Fine American Blend, Clubman Pinaud, Mickey Lee The Kraken. They are totally different scents. Not even close.

OSP does great soaps and I also have the OSP barbershop soap, it lathers fantastic and good quality however I don't think it is a barbershop scent. I grew up in a different country and from my memory I recall more hairspray type of scent then aftershave scent but that is my opinion.
Myrsol Blue is great but scent doesn't last long at all, half an hour on my skin but it may be different on other people, I suggest that you try the American Aqua Velva and Skinbracer which can be purchased from e-bay and the seller is Bluemedical, I bought mine from them and had a good service.
 
Well I have bitten the bullet and purchased.I received an email from Shaving Station about 15 min ago announcing Epsilon Blue. This is a new take on Floid Blue which I used many years ago. Comes in a really big 500ml bottle so I could bathe in it if I so desired!

Thank you everyone for your input.
