Welcome to the world of Finca Vigía BOLD Extrait Cologne. With a remarkable 38% concentration of fragrance oil, this Extrait is 3.5 times more potent than our original Eau de Parfum, offering a bolder, longer-lasting scent that projects further and creates an unforgettable presence.

Hemingway's Havana Essence
The inspiration behind Finca Vigía comes from the legendary author Ernest Hemingway and his beloved home in Havana, Cuba – Finca Vigía (meaning "lookout house"). It was there that Hemingway spent over 20 years of his life, surrounded by friends and family who affectionately called the place "Papa's Hideaway" or simply, The Finca. This one-of-a-kind fragrance from our Signature Collection captures the essence of those memorable moments, evoking a transcendent experience that will keep you coming back for more.
Surprising Aroma Twist
Every inhale of this deeply sophisticated blend begins with an unexpected yet satisfying aroma of grapefruit. It's reminiscent of the citrus notes found in the iconic Daiquiri named after Ernest himself. As the grapefruit note lightly persists, it generously gives way to something much more complex and intriguing – a fusion of bourbon whiskey barrel notes, classic cedar wood, and rich full-grain leather. This intricate blend conjures images of evenings spent in Papa's Hideaway, sharing stories, laughter, and camaraderie.
Warm, Elegant Notes
As you delve deeper into the scent, you'll discover the warmth of honey-like amber, smooth sandalwood, fine tobacco, and Madagascar vanilla. These luxurious undertones provide a rich foundation that lingers on the skin, enveloping you in an irresistible aura of elegance and refinement. With each whiff, you can't help but think that this must have been the aroma that permeated the atmosphere of Papa's Havana home, where the spirit of adventure and the sophistication of a bygone era merged seamlessly.
Distinctive Scent Experience
Finca Vigía BOLD Extrait de Parfum is more than just a fragrance; it's a sensory experience that appeals to men who appreciate the finer things in life.

What is Finca Vigía?
Finca Vigía, meaning "lookout house", is the place Ernest Hemingway called home for over 20 years. Friends and family called his home "Papa's Hideaway". There, Hemingway wrote two of his most celebrated novels: For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea. A Movable Feast was written there as well. Located in Havana, Cuba, The Finca served as inspiration when we developed the signature fragrance used in the Finca Vigía line of scented products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this fragrance for a man or a woman?
A: This is a masculine fragrance designed for men. However, many women love the fragrance so much that they are purchasing it for themselves.
Q: Is this perfume or cologne?
A: Actually, it is an Eau de Parfum (EdP). Eau de Parfum is a historically genderless term used to describe both men’s and women’s fragrances.
Generally, an Eau de Toilette concentration can range between 5% and 12%, while an Eau de Parfum concentration can range between 12% and 18%, although the concentrations of EDT versus EdP can vary.
EdP contains a higher concentration of essential/fragrance oils than Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, and Eau de Fraiche.
In other words, our Eau de Parfum has a higher concentration of fragrance, which results in a longer-lasting and more aromatic application.
Our Signature Finca Vigía Bold Extrait de Parfum contains 38% pure perfume essence and can last for about six to twelve hours depending on your skin's chemistry. Some customers have reported the fragrance lasts all day.
Q: What is the best way to apply Barberry Coast fragrances?
A: The fragrancex website has a great "how-to" on applying fragrances that we've adapted here for our Barberry Coast fragrances.
Apply right after you shower onto dry skin. The shower cleanses your body of any other scents and opens your pores, which helps the scent absorb. Completely dry your skin and then spray.
Hold the spray bottle 3–6 inches from your body. If you hold the bottle any closer you risk over-applying; any further and you will likely under-apply.
Apply cologne to heated areas of your body. The heat helps diffuse the scent throughout the day and allows it to meld with your body chemistry to develop your signature scent. Heated areas include your neck, chest, pulse points, forearms or inner elbows.
Start with a light application. If you are new to using fragrances do not apply the EdP to all of the aforementioned heated body areas. Choose one area and start with one spray. If you notice that your scent fades quickly, choose another area and spray the fragrance there the next time you apply. You might want to ask the opinion of a close friend or family member if the application is appropriate, as you can become nose-blind to scents you wear often.
Avoid These 3 Common Mistakes
Top 3 Common Mistakes in Applying Fragrances
Mistake #1: Spraying the fragrance on your clothing. Spraying cologne directly on your clothes prevents them from mixing with your natural oils, which is what gives them their unique quality. This can also prevent the scent from going through its scent stages, rendering the scent flat and monochrome. Finally, spraying a fragrance directly on clothing can be harmful to some fabrics.
Mistake #2: Spraying a mist cloud and walking through it. While it may seem like this method prevents over-application, it actually renders the cologne almost useless. The majority of your cologne needs to be placed on your body, and applying cologne this way means most of it ends up on the floor.
Mistake #3: Rubbing the fragrance onto the skin. Rubbing the cologne into your skin actually makes the scent fade faster as it breaks the molecular bond in the fragrance. If you’re> not going to spray the fragrance then simply dab, but don’t rub.

My favorite cologne by far . Good folks to support
Amazing scent that literally lasts all day!
I’ve been wearing standard Finca Vigia (and what’s left of the original Hemingway Signature) almost every day for several months. I recently added Finca Vigia Bold, and it stands up and out as my favorite personal frangrance. It hadls replaced some pretty tough competition.
Thank you, Barberry, for keeping the frangrance around.
...what I was wearing, I smelled that great! Enough said.
This one just....works!

Bay Rum Dominican Extrait Reserve
Finally! A great smelling Bay Rum that actually lasts! Y’all hit a Grand Slam with this one. -Robert
First, I've tried numerous bay rum colognes and/or aftershaves, and Barberry Coast offers the best version of bay rum, hands down. No contest. This Dominican Extrait Reserve Bay Rum is superior to the EDP (and that's saying a lot)! It's richer and even more aromatic in all the good ways, and the dry-down is amazing. Top shelf all the way. When the website says "tradition meets modern intensity," they're spot on! I would add another adjective: Comforting. You just feel good using it. I would give it more than five stars if I could. It's right up there, IMHO, with Finca Vagia Bold and Nobleman -- the all-star trio of fragrances. I will be rotating them regularly in the foreseeable future! Grab yourself a bottle!
I'm approaching 65. Old school italian, dress well, look well, smells well, no one believes it. Thanks for American made quality products and keep innovating!
purchased both of these products, and they did not disappoint I’ve bought most of the scents, and find myself always going back to the Havana. But all of the products are outstanding. Lightly scented as not to be overpowering. Goes on without feeling sticky or oily. I can’t recommend highly enough. Top that with a made in the USA small business with outstanding customer service and it’s a win win for everyone

The hand balm works very well without feeling funky. Some hand balms have way too many chemicals, its why I prefer trying out products from Barberry.
Miss the “frosty” bottle, but love the same old formula. Same great customer service, too!
What else is there to say?! This is absolutely the best stuff ever!!
Great scent, great customer service!
All good. Fragrances smell very good.
Website looks great. Stay pro-active.
Only comment:
I lost touch with you, my bad. I re-contacted with you to buy the Bay Rum.
You should keep contacting lost clients with emails and specials quarterly. Maybe they will come back, like me.
Peter W.
My favorite fragrance by far. Have used it before and it always smells great. Compliments abound. 😃
I love every product that I have purchased.
