Description

Legends abound of the remarkable skill of Italian violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, the greatest violinist of his time. He was so singularly talented that the story goes that he was playing a new composition at a nobleman's villa one evening, a piece commissioned by the nobleman to draw a pretty woman's affections. Paganini played beautifully, surrounded by admiring listeners, until one of the strings on the instrument snapped. Undaunted, Paganini continued to play without missing a note, and a second string snapped. He continued without interruption, to the amazement of everyone around him. Surely he could not continue? But then a third string snapped, and still Paganini continued to play, completing his performance on only the one remaining string on the violin. Awestruck, the listeners broke into thunderous applause, and the legend of Niccolò Paganini grew.

But in his later years, when asked by a biographer about the story, Paganini revealed the truth: the piece had been specifically written to be played on successively fewer strings, and it was Paganini himself who broke each one as he played, dazzling his audience in the process.

For Paganini's Violin, we have composed a fragrance built on multiple variations on a single note, all playing together into one unified, singular whole. The smell of clean skin after a hot shower, interlaced with fruity undercurrents and tea, Paganini's Violin is one of our most unusual experiments, and decidedly an in-house favorite. We know you'll love it too.

Net Wt. 3.5 fl oz, Made in the USA

Shake aftershave into your palms (we recommend an amount about the side of a quarter) and rub them together for 3 seconds. Rub your palms over your freshly shaven skin. There may be a mild sting upon initial application, but your face is about to look, feel, and smell awesome. We know you can handle it.

Disappointing

I had high hopes for this one after smelling the shave soap. However, the aftershave just smells like witch hazel and alcohol to me. I have several other aftershaves from B&M and love them, but this one left me hanging.

Great

Easily in my top 3 B&M scents, this is a quality aftershave. It's low-key and great for situations where you want to smell good but not be overwhelming. I hope it's released as an EDT sometime in the future.

Hit Out of the Park

…again! I keep coming back to Barrister & Mann because they keep releasing brilliant scents. Hallows, Muir Wood and of course my all time fave Rhapsody (RIP), all keep me looking forward to the next season’s releases. Paganini’s Violin is subtle at first but has excellent staying power. Boy do I look forward to shaving, thanks to you!

Such a great scent!

Paganin’s violin smells fresh like clean laundry, dried out on a clothesline in the sun. It makes for a great lather scent, and the balm and splash carry it forward into your day without being overwhelming.

Can’t put my finger on it, but it’s amazing!

I don’t know what this scent note is, but to me at times it smells creamy, and at times just ‘clean’. I find this scent to be addictive, I can’t pass the tub without smelling it. I couldn’t see this scent offending anyone, something that won’t interfere with your SOTD.
