A gift for my father
Hello guys!
My father's birthday is this sunday and I want to buy him a cologne. But as I never tried their fav's I don't know what he may like.
His favorite fragrance (as he told me) is Safari for Men - Ralph Lauren.
He didn't liked Fahrenheit.
He used Tommy for a while, but it's not among his fav's.
He likes woody fragrances.
He likes fragrances that gives a barbershop vibe.
I was thinking of Pasha by Cartier, but that would be a totally blind buy.
Anything else? (=
Thank you!

But I'm looking for an easy-to-find scent as I don't have much time 'til his birthday.

+1 YSL Rive Gauche & AdP Colonia Assoluta. Also perhaps Guerlain Vetiver.

Rive Gauche pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent - Initially, one is treated to a brisk melange of bergamot, with its tart, citric dimension, rosemary, with its cooling, camphoraceous slant, and star anise, with its smoky licorice. This burst of freshness is fleeting, and the refreshing opening transitions rather quickly to the waiting middle. Here, in the herbal heart, a mixture of clean lavender imparts its soapiness, invigorating clove provides a slight smokiness, and crisp, geranium leaf bestows its lemony greeness. This barbershoppy concoction meanders to the awaiting base. A robust medley of earthy and musty patchouli, lemongrass-like greeness and clumped dirt from vetiver, as well as waxy and faintly smoky guiacwood commingle to present a sensual and somewhat dark drydown. This masculine composition has average projection, basically a skin-scent, and good longevity, 7-10 hours. Conjuring an illusion of shaving cream, this wonderfully original and unique scent should be had!
But, only get the aluminum/tin can.
