Ubrique Shaving Soap
Ubrique, named after the famed leather village in Andalusia, is an ode to Spanish leather (known as peau d'espagne in perfumery). Originally a scented oil rubbed into new leather to soften its smokey, animal aroma, peau d'espagne made the jump to fine fragrance in the early 20th century, where it was an intoxicating fixture for decades. In modern times, Spanish leathers have largely fallen out of favor in the fragrance world, so we decided that it was time to give them their proper due at Barrister and Mann.
Our version of this storied classic is a rich, tangy composition with notes of smokey leather, vetiver, rosewood, geranium, sandalwood, bergamot, tonka bean, and musk. It's comforting and manly, with a lovely, enveloping character that your dad or granddad might have worn down to the cocktail bar in his youth. It speaks of class, sophistication, and masculinity, and is perfect for those who want to set themselves apart from more modern, bitter leather fragrances. It may be one of the last of a dying breed, but Ubrique has style and poise in spades. Get yours.

The Soap
Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.

Leather, sandalwood and is that moss? Another winner from Barrister & Mann, who seem to consistently hit it out of the park.
Here's an idea, you should start a B&M club that we can join for $X a year, in which we get all of your new releases as they come out. Here, just TAKE my money why dontcha ;)
This is one of the best leather scents I’ve ever smelled. This leather is a Spanish leather, and from first whiff it’s obvious. This is done so well. The soap makes one of the best lathers in the shave industry. You can not go wrong with this one. I will use this one year round, and I plan on getting the EDP as well. It’s so good
A captivating scent, with the intensity of a leather, but also a delicate smoothness and creaminess. In addition to the leather, I get the vetiver, woods, and definitely the sandalwood, with everything wonderfully balanced. If you enjoy leather scents, but want to try something a little different, I recommend this.
As always, a very enjoyable scent
I have been on a soap purchase hiatus but when I saw Ubrique, I knew I was going to break the hiatus. Everything about this soap is incredible. The artwork is absolutely brilliant; the performance is what you'd expect from B&M: top notch slickness and post shave feel. And the scent.. Oh my.. Aaaamazing! Highly recommend it.
