A fragrance with a magnificent quality-to-price ratio. It’s very comforting and goes beyond the initial citrus hit. I would also rate its performance for what it aims to achieve as good. I find it probably better than the Parma Intensa.
Citrusy and woody. Fabulous. It is undoubtedly one of my favourites and probably the first one I finish when I buy it. It has 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 is undoubtedly one of my favourites.
Unlike the previous review, I find the EDP somewhat weaker and with fewer nuances than the EDC. Nevertheless, given the price, when I finish this one I’ll switch to the other, what can one do. It’s an Álvarez Gómez with less citronella, less spice and more floral, with a touch of talc. Very good for the office; it gives an air of a neat, formal man that is always to be valued in professional environments.
It has become my absolute favourite. 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. Immediately after, I apply Álvarez Gómez. I previously used their shaving cream, but since they no longer manufacture it, it’s a pity. Its scent accompanies me all day. It’s not floral and light like the trendy ones; it possesses 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. What’s curious is that, when stressed by work, smelling the bottle transports me back to that moment of peace on a weekend. That’s what scents with evocative power have. It can be worn all year if dosed correctly, possessing that touch of bygone perfumes that made a mark. My daughter, despite me having many perfumes, associates herself most with this one; it smells like Dad.
I bought the EDP blindly for my boyfriend, as I haven’t seen the EDC anywhere in my city, but after years of using Álvarez Gómez’s concentrated cologne and considering the price, it seemed worth it. The opening has nothing to do with the previous one: it doesn’t smell of that strong lemon that I love so much in summer, but rather much more subtly. After a few minutes, I notice rosemary, which I like a lot. Although it has short throw, it lasts incredibly long on the skin and improves over time until it becomes a simple, elegant and clean fragrance. I’m absolutely delighted with the purchase; I think it’s perfect for everyday wear, nothing invasive and something that many people can enjoy.
I bought the EDP blindly for my boyfriend, as 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: it doesn’t smell of that strong lemon I love so much in summer, but rather much more subtly. Within minutes, I notice rosemary, which I adore. Although it has poor projection, it lasts incredibly long on the skin and improves over time until it becomes simple, elegant and clean. I’m absolutely delighted; it’s perfect for everyday wear, nothing invasive and everyone can enjoy it.
This fragrance is a hundred per cent a ‘filler’. I bought it in summer and didn’t quite understand it; 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 from time to time it would keep calling out to me, and I kept spraying it. Autumn arrived and, as I had kept its sacred sister, the centennial summer Álvarez Gómez, in a box, after a shower or a shave I started using it. At first it was because I missed it, because it was a barbershop scent, because of the nostalgia and the freshness of the citrus of summer that I didn’t recognise before. And so, very quickly, it revealed itself as a scent that could become a signature fragrance. It lasts very firmly on the skin for hours, with moderate trail and a scent that becomes very rich because it is 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 100% “hidden gem” or “stealth hit”. I bought it in summer and did not quite understand it, it smelled of ginger, a bit disgusting although 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 has continued to demand, without knowing very well why, I have continued spraying occasionally… Autumn has arrived and as I kept its sacred sister, Álvarez Gómez’s more than centennial summer scent, in a box, after showering or shaving I have started to use it, at first because I missed its yellow sister, because it is a barbershop scent, because of the nostalgia and freshness of the citrus of the summer that I did not recognise in it before… And so very quickly it has revealed itself as a scent that can become a signature fragrance. It lasts hours very firmly on skin, with a trail (moderate) and with a scent that becomes very rich because it is quite elegant and fresh at the same time, classic and Mediterranean, serious, mature and at the same time youthful. Taking into account the price, its versatility and the context, it is a fantastic option to have in the collection.
Well, the name says it all, it smells like a barbershop. It is simple and very discreet, with a duration of about 4 hours and projecting at skin level from the start. It feels clean and fresh, but it is nothing invasive like the classic from the brand; moreover, soon the aromatic part that gives it a little depth comes to the fore. It seems correct, without more.
Do not expect the typical “fresh” smell of its traditional cologne water. This is a more “adult” aroma, where ginger marks much over the citrus, giving the fragrance a deeper look, expanding its use from the typical five minutes to something usable in the office or with formal attire (a wedding), as its duration is much greater. It seems simple, but it is not. To my taste, although it may sound bold, nothing to envy the classic Eau Savage by CD. They are sister-primes: Eau Savage slightly more floral and this one slightly more woody due to the ginger, but I am sure that if you like one, you will like the other, because in the dry down they follow paths not very far apart. It seems suitable for all year, although probably with the cold its performance may be scarce. Edit: I have both the EDC Concentrated and the EDP. In my opinion, the duration of the EDC is greater than the EDP. The aroma seems practically indistinguishable between both. Oh, nice detail that (at least in the 125 ml bottle) the atomiser comes separate and you can use the bottle screwing it or like the old “splash” ones.
I believe all of us who have tried this perfume agree that, if it were from another brand, it would remind us of Acqua di Parma and we would pay four or five times its current price for it. It’s a clean men’s cologne, with an opening more orange-like than the typical bergamot or lemon, and some woody notes that give it a very rich creamy touch without falling into retro territory. If you usually like the Acqua di Parma line, don’t waste time and get it. In Spain, it costs two duros.

Bravo!
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 it like a glove, plus with bitter notes that I absolutely love. I think it is that bitter orange that makes it so special, along with the dark freshness of rhubarb. Barbería has fresh notes that are not the typical sparkling and luminous, but much more restrained.
I just bought the EDP 150ml set + deodorant + shower gel for €11 at Carrefour. What a bloody 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. Previously, the bottles were different: the EDC darker, the EDP lighter. Now the packaging is identical, but with a cheap Chinese diffuser that won’t open and a shoddy design. The scent has changed: the original had a fresh, rounded opening with balanced bitter orange and bergamot, evolving gently into woody and musky notes within half an hour, very pleasant. The reformulation is acidic and aggressive at first, then fades without leaving anything interesting. It feels like they’ve used cheap synthetics to cut costs. With the EDC, it was a joy to smell my shirt the next day; with the EDP, it isn’t. It’s strident and a disaster. It’s a shame they’re replacing an acceptable product with an inferior one just to sell it cheaper. I’m left bereft of the good cologne.
I was a regular for the EDC version. The EDP turns out much worse. Previously, I placed both bottles side by side; even the colour was noticeable: the EDC was darker and amber-hued, while the EDP is significantly clearer. The packaging change seems 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 am not understood, but my impression is degradation. The old (Barbería Eau de Cologne) had a fresh, round opening, maintaining 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 measure and the bergamot. Gradually, within half an hour, it moved to the heart; I don’t detect exactly what it was, but I recall the dry down (from 40 mins): very woody, a pleasant wood, and a musk note that stuck. The progression was gradual, without jumps, a sensation of a “round” fragrance. The current (Barbería Eau de Parfum) has an acidic, almost sour opening. It is aggressive and piercing, and it falls flat quickly without perceiving the subtleties of the EDC. It feels like a poor substitute, probably to cut costs with inferior components that sound synthetic. With the EDC it was a joy to smell the shirt the next day; the EDP does not have that. If the EDC was “round”, this is “shrill”. A disaster. For a company to load a product that was accepted and replace it with one that slips through with few distinguishing elements (cologne-parfum), same box, bottle almost identical except for the cheap collar and diffuser, to cut costs and sell it as the previous one without meeting homologation, is a capital error. I am left orphaned of the Eau de Cologne by Álvarez Gómez. I prefer to pay more for better things than to pay less for things that ceased to be what I was looking for. A pity.
Classic elegance of shaving foam. It evokes rosemary and cedar, that timeless and soft masculinity that has passed from generation to generation. That’s why it reminds me of my grandfather, father… a masculine scent that represents a most pleasant savoir-faire. To give a cheek kiss to a man and smell of wood, ginger and warm, very welcoming rosemary. Barbershop water has a special magic, silent and timeless.

An excellent wardrobe staple for lovers of classic colognes. It bears quite a resemblance to Intense Cologne; naturally, when smelled together, the difference in ingredient quality is noticeable. Not that Álvarez Gómez’s are bad, simply that AdP’s are more marked. I advise making this comparison live; it’s a good exercise to check your sense of smell. The quality-to-price ratio is almost unparalleled these days.
One of the good, beautiful, and cheap ones. The first car I bought was a 1999 Toyota Yaris I, second-hand with under 15,000 miles, no air conditioning. What does that have to do with anything? Please forgive me for not getting to the point: that car wasn’t big or brilliant for dazzling others; it had no heaters, automatic systems, or proper radio, but it was one of the best Toyota models near the new millennium. It took you wherever you wanted (dirt roads, snow, mud), it was tougher than an angry John Wick, and it consumed very little—a marvel that never cost the service department a penny. If that car were a cologne, it would be Concentrated Barber Shop Cologne by Álvarez Gómez. It’s not for dazzling the European high society dining on Kobe beef, 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 manly wash (or whoever’s), and in their humility and good work, it ends up being an excellent memory left behind by those who knew and loved the person. A marvel, indeed.
A solid, budget-friendly gem. It reminds me of my first car, a 1999 Toyota Yaris: small, without air conditioning, low mileage, yet 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 dinners, but it gives you far more than you pay for: that soft, timeless masculinity that has been passed down through generations. It’s cleanliness and elegance without pretension, ideal after a shave. A humble product that leaves a good impression on those who know you. A marvel, honestly.
I have the EDP. I’ve given it multiple chances, but it just doesn’t convince me. It performs like a cologne; after 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 excellent for its price.
JuanCarlosMarreroPerez: The EDC was delicious. The EDP is different; simply, I DO NOT LIKE IT; it’s more acidic or sour. A pity; they’ve 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. REGRETTABLE. I feel sorry for your intention. Best regards.
The comparisons to cologne are absurd, but even more ridiculous are the comments claiming the EDP lasts longer than the EDC—nonsense. Truthfully, the EDC had a sharper opening, while the EDP takes a different path: it isn’t a refreshing cologne; it’s a mature fragrance in line with Acqua di Parma. It opens with a sharp, spicy, bitter citrus note that gradually turns clean and woody. What about short longevity? First, one must ask what ‘short’ means, because nowadays fragrances last what they last—often not very long, especially those in this category. The difference is that with this, you can pull the trigger without fear and reapply whenever it fades, because the price is laughably low for what it offers. It’s incredibly versatile, with a genuine masculine scent, not the unisex label slapped on most unidentifiable scents today. There’s no doubt: it’s for men, a classic aroma without being ‘old man’. Anyone claiming it’s not a well-rounded product knows nothing about perfumery; it’s a Swiss Army knife, good for everything. For under €20, you get a set with a 150ml bottle, a 30ml travel size, and for just over €2, a shower gel with the same scent that impregnates the skin and multiplies the fragrance’s intensity after a shower. That’s one thing; whether you like the scent is a matter of taste, not of the product being bad. If you like this aroma, as I do, you won’t find a better or cheaper signature. If you like classic but not dated scents, 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 items. In that sense, ‘Mono perfumado’ is the only YouTube reviewer focusing on good, cheap perfumes; I discovered him through an interview by Chedd Noir. The rest always review the same things; there’s no merit in discovering the good in a €300 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 Barberie is a piece of cologne: it evokes a clean, soapy, shaving foam scent, with masculine touches without being 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 laughable. It suits any season or situation, from signature scent to elegant or informal events. Very versatile, though not for very young people (under 25). It comes out strong with bitter orange and ginger which then softens into something soapy and delicious. Good behaviour, lasts five hours on me, little to complain about. It projects a metre for the first hour and then stays for another 4 hours in a perceptible bubble. 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: as an EDP it projects less but lasts more. In short, another great perfume from Álvarez Gómez; if it were Italian or English and cost six times more, it would surely receive fewer criticisms. Just the beautiful cut crystal bottle is worth the price on its own.
I love this cologne and, for the price, Álvarez Gómez Barbería is hard to beat. I detect no alcohol; it smells natural and honest, very different from the conventional stuff. It moves from sour citrus to a creamy base, lasts 4-5 hours and all day on clothes. It performs hugely, 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 atomiser is brilliant and the price-to-quality ratio is a joke.
The scent is exquisite and makes you feel great; your body craves to keep smelling it. In my case, the EDP lasts 1.5 hours with moderate sillage; by the second hour it stays in a personal bubble, and by four hours it’s gone. For the price it’s good, but I’d like it to last a bit longer.
It’s a great perfume. It opens citrusy, orange, and slightly alcoholic before the alcohol fades quickly. Once dry, it leaves that mix of orange and wood which is super fresh and summery. It lasts about four hours and has nothing to do with Acqua di Parma; it goes in a different direction. 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.
