Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Beard Oil Review

Antiga barbearia de Bairro has just launched a new perfume called Chiado, the third in the brand's line. You can read about it in Fragrantica. This is a Portuguese brand that is focused on shaving products. Their soaps and shaving creams are artisanal and high quality and they also produce handmade brushes. With the new scent, the house presented also for the first time, beard grooming products such as a beard soap, a beard serum and a Beard Oil that I have been wearing and made it my own personal beard oil, of which I shall repurchase again and again

Beard and shaving products are fashionable now. Lisbon is also one of the most trendy cities in the world. In Lisbon, the Chiado district is the place to be. Where tradition meets modernity, where fashion and art are omnipresent. Where bookshops, museums and art galleries are around every corner and tourists invade places where in the past all intellectuals used to be: Chiado. This is where Lisbon appears more mundane. Where you go to see and be seen. Where all genders and sexual orientations mingle. Brasileira, the famous coffeeshop, is the terrace where everything happens. Where the poet Fernando Pessoa used to sit and write. Chiado is where transgression was secretly planned. Where gays meet. There, you look at the walls and you see the history of Portuguese modern art with original paintings by the country's most recognized artists of all time. It's the center of everything cool and hip and it always was. And now there's a perfume to celebrate this, as well as a collection of beard products.

The Chiado beard oil is a perfumed oil, and it has the same scent as the eponymous fragrance. It is a simple blend of natural oils and the fragrance of green tobacco leaves, patchouli, vetiver and tobacco. The scent itself is perfect as you can read in my article on Fragrantica. Its intensity is key to my love for it, since it is enough to make an impression as soon as you apply it, but it's not that strong so it doesn't bother you all day nor does it interfere with the perfume you are wearing. It softens and nourishes the beard, leaving it ready for combing or brushing. It also gives it a super shiny look. So, if you prefer a matte finish, this may not be the best product for you. Chiado Beard Oil has 74% of natural ingredients, including soy, castor jojoba, grape seed and almond oils. It keeps hair healthy and supple.
