    Yes, it is.

    I was thinking of trying that. I think I'll pass, then.

    My wife is super picky about what scents I wear. She only likes Derby City Chop Shop Winter Reserve and the LE Seattle Shave Con 'Boozy Barbershop' from PAA. So by extension she'll probably like their 'Lather Blaster 3000,' which is a refined version of that.

    Or basically anything that is bourbon, tobacco, vanilla, and sandalwood, with a light dusting of floral on top. Super common scent profile, that. :rolleyes:

    Not.

    That particular mix just comes across as a Barbasol/barbershop type smell to my nose.

    It's "The Quintessential Barbershop Scent"(not my words, theirs, but I would agree).

    The thing I don't care for with the Special Reserve is the sweet, spicy note that I'm picking up. If the Original has that same note, I wouldn't care for it either.

    No, the Original is pure Barbershop-like you just walked out of one. Special Reserve is what I call "Pinaud Heads West".

    Special Reserve: think Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum -- you get the picture. I don't detect anything sweet in it.

    About the plastic bottle of Clubman Pinaud new line Reserve, the cap has a problem.
    As you can see in the picture, if lying down It loses.

    But the solution I found is simple: a little cellophane.
    This also improves the durability of the fragrance over time. In fact, today is as good as new.

    I’ve decanted multiple Pinaud AS into glass. I definitely smell a difference but I won’t say it’s better. Pouring out of glass feels more upscale thought, IMO. The aplastic bottles feel a little, uh, cheap? Which they are of course. Only the smell is expensive!

    FWIW, now that my Special Reserve is in a glass bottle, it smells different to me. Ah, the power of suggestion!

    Good grief! Now I still have the Aqua Velva Musk, and Brut to transfer to glass. I wouldn't want to smell cheap and unrefined, even if that would probably suit my personality better.:cool:
