The New Origins for Him

The New Origins for Him is a 2023 eau de parfum from Barbour, a warm, woody masculine scent with a touch of fruit and spice.

The notes work as one blend. Mandarin gives a bright, juicy citrus lift, and pink berries a light, slightly rosy and peppery fruitiness. Cardamom adds a cool, aromatic spice with a hint of lemon. The core is woody and earthy: cedarwood gives a dry, clean structure, vetiver a grassy, slightly smoky depth, and patchouli an earthy richness. Amber rounds it off with a soft, golden warmth that makes the base feel smooth and comfortable.

Its woody, outdoorsy character, in keeping with the brand's countryside heritage, suits autumn and spring, daytime wear and relaxed occasions such as weekends, walks or casual dinners. It is likely to appeal to someone who likes understated, versatile woody scents with a fresh citrus and spice opening.
