Ubrique Aftershave Splash
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.
Net Wt. 3.5 oz
Directions for Use
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.

QUICK NOTE:
Ubrique is very unique. It’s such an amazing leather scent. Not just any leather but Spanish leather. I was captivated at first whiff. As usual, the splash performs amazingly well. Barrister & Mann have one of the best splashes in the industry.
Wish I would've jumped on this one early enough to get the cologne. But I did get the Ubrique splash and soap from Maggards. I don't know how to classify this scent or how to explain it. If Fougere Gothique/Angelique or Leviathan appealed to you, this is worth it.
This is the 23rd Barrister & Mann scent that I am using. I would say this is in the bottom quarter of those scents. In my review of the soap I mentioned a rubber or plastic smell. After using the splash, this aspect of the scent took me right to a component of Laphroaig. I will use the soap and splash but wouldn't buy again.
Excellent vintage scent, I'll definitely buy again
When I first opened the bottle it wasn't what I had expected and I wasn't sure that I liked it. Once I put it on though it was like a while different scent and it's fantastic. At usual for Barrister and Mann it works great as well
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 pretty much exactly what I have been wanting from Barrister and Mann. A traditional fragrance without an abundance of sweetness. Oddly, I much prefer the Umbrique aftershave to the EdP. I'm still trying to convince my nose that the dry down on the EdP isn't tedious and unappealing. I may just sell my bottle of the EdP and buy another bottle of the aftershave!
The actual performance of the splash is great as always. The Ubrique fragrance is a great spring fragrance with a bit of warmth from the sandalwood and a cooler leathery finish that both pair well with the subtle floral notes. Ubrique may be a little divisive but I'd wager it's just people who don't know if they actually like a leather fragrance vs. those that do.
I’ve loved several B&M products over the year including the Vespers shave soap that I purchased along with this splash. This smells like rubber and flowers. My wife and daughter both had visceral negative reactions. I enjoy a heavily orated scotch which others find off-putting at times but this turned even my nose off. I truly don’t think this is the product as intended and wonder about some mixup because up to this point B&M has been glorious (snowy fir trees or Earl Grey Tea are brilliant scent profiles they’ve mastered).
I have been a huge B & M fan for years. This is the first B & M product that I don't like (I even like Roam). This smells just like Hoppes no. 9.
Very elegant. The scent is reminiscent of a lightly smoky Scotch. Very masculine.
I’m sorry but this one sounded interesting and ended up being way too many different things. I suppose you can pick up on an artificial leather scent buried somewhere in there, but with all the other competing elements you’re basically left with a nasty melange with a lingering industrial plastic smell, like pre-fab siding. I hate saying this because of my adoration for B&M products and the originality of so many other scent lines but this is literally going in the garbage.
