Just received this cologne in the mail.
Pros:
Great atomizer
Great fragrance,
Cons:
Over priced IMO
The Fragrance, even though i listed it as great its not what i was hoping for. Little to no lime detected, dry down is very vanilla/powder heavy.
St. Lucia is one of my all-time fav scents! Smells like fresh, clean breezes of an island paradise.
I've tried 10-15 different Barberry scents, Finca Extrait BOLD is in my top 5. Smells luxurious, very strong scent lasts all day. Way better than the original Finca.
This shave cream fragrance seems to be weak compared to others. In addition, im struggling to get the shave balm out of the bottle whereas others such as the Bay Rum, this problem does not exist. Furthermore, I'm not to happy with a shave cream jar that came 3/4 full if that. This I have not had a problem before with your products. Although you think I'm new to Barberry Coast, I'm not. I have been buying your products from Amazon and receiving them a lot quicker. Sonoran Spice for me, and the shave balm needs to be a stronger fragrance. It does lather up well and I enjoy the shave. Just a weak fragrance . I hope this helps.

An excellent yet subtle fragrance which I enjoy very much-my wife does too, which is most important! A classy scent which is a pleasure to wear. Well done Barberry Coast!!

I have ordered just about all the products available from Barberry Coast and each and everyone are some of the best soaps and aftershave available. The one that really stands out is the Bay Rum soap and aftershave products. Amazing scent that sticks with you. Terrific customer service adds to the experience.
I got the small sample and to my surprise it was just as you said, a very intense and alluring fragrance, I couldn’t wait to receive my full bottle, it’s my new favorite cologne
Once you determine which fragrance(s) are your favorites, and the products you need, the only thing that is left to rate is shipping. In months when demand is high, shipping may be delayed by a few days. That said, when you find the product you like, it'll be worthy of 5 stars and you won't mind the delay!
For a small business they do alright except, QUIT running out of favorite items!
I always grab a bottle or two when this comes back in stock. It's my signature scent. Thank you Tina and Allen!
So happy to see you were able to get more on this recent preorder! Thanks for the review, my friend.
I'm leaving this review after a few days of wear. 1899 sits comfortably in that modern-classic masculine space. Opens clean with a slightly crisp edge before smoothing out into a warm, well-blended heart. Nothing feels out of balance here, no sharp synthetics, no cloying sweetness. Dry-down is softly woody with a subtle richness that hangs close to the skin after a few hours. Performance is respectable for an EdP and it wears very easily. Not groundbreaking, but very well executed.
Thanks for the thoughtful review! We love hearing when 1899 hits that sweet spot between classic and modern. It’s exactly what we aimed for, no fireworks, just a confident, well-behaved fragrance that plays nicely all day. Glad it wore smoothly for you and didn’t throw any curveballs. Really appreciate you giving it a proper run and sharing your take!
First time I've been able to buy this. Waited for what seemed like eternity for it to come back, lol. But when it was recently offered for preorder, I jumped on it. Got two bottles and I'm pleased as punch. Well worth the wait.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the 1899 Eau de Parfum Cologne. We're thrilled to hear that you were finally able to purchase it and that it was worth the wait. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy the product. Have a great day!
Hands down one of the best colognes I’ve tried. It’s classy and gets attention without overpowering. Every time I wear it, someone asks what I’m wearing. A true everyday scent.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We love hearing that 1899 is hitting that sweet spot — classy, noticeable, but never over the top. There’s nothing better than knowing it’s becoming part of your daily rotation and even sparking a few compliments along the way. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
Delivery time has been slow all 4 times that I’ve ordered. The owner has a terrible attitude filled with piss poor excuses. Spend your money with other small businesses. This company couldn’t care less after they charge your card. Try Vitabella.
Ryan, I’m sorry this experience left you feeling frustrated. For clarity for anyone reading, this review reflects shipping concerns rather than the product itself. All orders were shipped within our stated 1–2 business day fulfillment window, and delivery times followed USPS Ground Advantage expectations during the holiday season.
We appreciate you giving our products a try and wish you the best going forward.

Not sure why but my skin doesn't hold and scent that I have recently tried. The come on's and reviews swear scent last 6,8 and more promises.
I tried smaller size of Bay Rum Eau de Parfume.
Upon opening it I could start getting hints of Bay Rum before I even got to the product.
Tried 2-3 sprays. No BS it lasted 8-10 hours on me.
Im very happy to say the least.
When I placed my order I wasn't aware that they carry a full line of other products. Some of which I'll be trying in the future.
I did make the suggestion to owners to sell a sample package, but haven't heard back yet on that.
What a wonderful smelling cologne. I have worn this for years and only knew it by its previous name, Hemmingway Signature Collection. Different name now but exact same smell, sweet and smokey with a hint of Tabacco. I love this stuff! Highly recommend!
This is hands down my favorite. It opens a little sweet, but the dry down is perfection. Long lasting, masculine, vanilla/rum combo. This will absolutely be a staple in my rotation.
The ordering and delivery was very good and personal. My daughter has purchased their products before and recommended this product as a Christmas gift.
5 stars !t smells incredible. Like, bury my face in his neck, incredible. Mmm
Great quality at a competitive price point. Not a huge fan of Havana, but I really enjoy Vesuvio Noir. It’s a very unique scent that stands out in a crowd.
Very good skin tonic after face shave with a slight Bay Rum fragrance.
What can I say?!! It’s intriguing, mysterious, exotic, enigmatic, sensual, compelling; an eastern incense-in-a-bottle with an intrepid daring aroma. It takes you so far away, you just might not come back—unless of course you want to purchase another bottle when yours runs low.
The fragrance is a solid 5, however,it doesn't last like some other products in this line.
