When I was a child in the 30's there was a lotion the barber applied to your neck that announced to the world "i have just had a haircut." Though it could be a bit loud it was a bright, sweet, fresh scent (nothing like bay run) that was, i believe, widely used. I loved it. Then in the 40's I accidentally came across the precisely identical fragrance in a cologne with the brand name "Bergamot." It came in a small black ceramic bottle and is now no longer available. I have since learned that bergamot is a citrus fruit widely used in perfumery. The Body Shop once offered a spray cologne called Bergamot but it is no longer available and in any case, while somewhat similar, is not the same as the old-fashioned barber shop scent that i remember. Any memories, ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
