Blind Barber - Shinjuku Mood Eau De Parfum

Hero Notes: These are the key scents that create the unique character of the fragrance.

Black Tea & Mate Tea: This combination provides a distinct, earthy, and slightly smoky aroma right from the start. It’s refreshing and sophisticated, like a perfectly brewed cup of tea.

Lavender Absolute: This isn't your average lavender. It's a richer, more herbaceous version that adds a clean, calming, and aromatic heart to the fragrance.

Cedarwood & Suede: These notes form the smooth, woody, and leathery foundation. They give the scent a lasting warmth and a modern, stylish finish.

Full Ingredient List:
Alcohol Denat., Fragrance (Parfum), Water (Aqua), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Cinnamal, Citral, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.

This is a fragrance, so it works for all skin types. The real question is, "What's the vibe?" "Shinjuku Mood" is for the creative and confident man who wants a scent that stands out. It's incredibly versatile: clean enough for the office, yet smoky and intriguing enough for a night out. It feels modern, artistic, and effortlessly cool.

A Truly Unique Scent: The blend of tea, smoke, and woods is unlike most mainstream fragrances.

Versatile for Day or Night: It balances fresh and deep notes, making it appropriate for almost any occasion.

Modern and Sophisticated: It communicates a sense of style and creativity without being overpowering.

Getting the most from your fragrance is simple.

Step 1: Apply to Pulse Points. Your pulse points generate heat, which helps to diffuse the scent throughout the day. Key spots include your wrists, the base of your neck, and behind your ears.

Step 2: Don't Rub It In. After spraying your wrists, let the fragrance air dry. Rubbing them together can break down the delicate scent molecules and alter the smell.

Step 3: Less Is More. Start with one or two sprays. This is a high-quality Eau de Parfum, so it's potent. You want the scent to be discovered, not announced.

This product contains alcohol and a complex blend of fragrance compounds. If you have sensitive skin or are prone to fragrance allergies, it is always best to test it first.

We think of this as the perfect "city" fragrance. It's for the guy who wants something different from a typical "blue" or "sporty" cologne. The smoky tea notes are the real standout here. If Blind Barber's other scene "Only You, Babe" is the warm, inviting scent for a date night, "Shinjuku Mood" is its creative, adventurous brother you'd wear to an art gallery opening or exploring a new neighborhood.

A creative blend of notes that shifts and changes on your skin.

Top Notes (The First Impression): Black Currant, Black Tea, Mate Tea. You immediately get a fresh, slightly fruity, and distinctly earthy tea scent.

Mid Notes (The Heart of the Scent): Cypriol, Lavender Absolute. After about 20 minutes, a clean, aromatic lavender emerges, blended with a unique spicy and earthy note from the cypriol.

Dry Notes (The Lasting Impression): Cedarwood, Birch Tar, Suede. This is the foundation that lasts for hours: a smooth, woody, and slightly smoky base that feels like a soft leather jacket.

How is this different from the "Only You, Babe" fragrance?
Think of them as two different moods. "Only You, Babe" is warmer, sweeter, and more intimate with its plum and sandalwood notes, making it ideal for romantic evenings. "Shinjuku Mood" is earthier, smokier, and more complex with its tea and suede notes, making it a more versatile and artistic choice for day or night.

Is this a masculine or feminine scent?
It’s a truly modern fragrance that leans masculine but could be considered unisex. The blend of fresh tea, calming lavender, and rich woods works well on anyone who loves a complex, earthy scent. The focus is on the mood, not a specific gender.

You list "Birch Tar" and "Suede" as notes. What do those actually smell like?
These are notes that add a modern edge. Birch Tar provides a refined smoky quality, reminiscent of a campfire or fine leather goods, but much cleaner. Suede is a note designed to smell like soft, supple leather; it adds a smooth, warm, and luxurious texture to the scent's finish.
