Clubman Validation!!!

I like Pinaud Clubman A/S. Smells great and lasts a long time. Wifey likes it too.

But, yesterday I got validation from the younger generation in the guise of my 13 year old grand daughter.
I had used Clubman with my morning shave and then, later in the day, had to take her to a church youth function.

She got in the van and, after a few moments, said, " Grandpa, you smell really nice. Why can't the boys at school smell like you?"

Well, knock me over with a feather! Just goes to show that there is still hope for the younger generation.

 

Great! Now for the ultimate test.....repeat the same routine using the Veg!

 

It is good stuff....one of my favorites.

 

The Veg has not chosen me. I don't like smelling like cat pee and neither does my wife

 

I like and use Clubman Original, VI Bay Rum and the Veg. I dislike Special Reserve however. YMMV

 

I had something similar happen to me with my daughter a week or so ago. She asked me to put on some of the "Nice smelling stuff in the white bottle with the ship cause it reminds me of you" No better reason than that to break out the vintage Old Spice!

 

It certainly would be something to see the middle-school boys try Clubman. Clubman could be the new Axe!!!

 

well, 1 out of 4 ain't bad. We match on Clubman Original, but that's it.

 

Clubman original is hard to beat.

 

especially along with Clubman Country Club Shampoo.

 

So my order of Special Reserve came in yesterday. Very unique. I have been trying to find the words to describe the scent. However, I came across a picture that would do more justice than my words ever could. Be a man.

 

From what I've read about SR, it is indeed quite the manly scent.

 

You have indeed read correctly. I have also read that the scent is quite polarizing and from my first sniff I can could see why. But the scent from the bottle vs the scent from application and dry down is quite different.

 

it m

it may be my next Clubman purchase...I'm still working on a 6 oz. regular.

 

I have Clubman, Vanilla, VIBR, and now SR. My favorite is Vanilla with Clubman a very close second. VIBR smells like Christmas to me. My next purchase of Pinaud will be The Veg to see if it chooses me.

 

Clubman/Amazon update-1, 440 reviews, still 75% for the 5-star reviewers.(this is for the 6 oz. original).

 

Being new to this forum, I find it amusing at how many times the veg is brought up. I am a huge fan of the original pinaud clubman, as evidenced by my insistence on having 2 large bottles at all times, but I have never tried any of their other scents.

I broke down the other day and got a sampler of all their scents (veg included) from the old Bay.

I haven't been as curious about anything shaving related as I am about the lilac vegetal. If there were ever a love/hate scent...this appears to be it. The constant referrals to cat pee and nursing home have me quite concerned. On the other hand, all the ingredients sound good, so who knows? I guess I'll find out in about a week.

 

I don't pay attention to the " cat pee, nursing home" thing...(or shall I say I find that amusing and move on). I think it's great stuff.(the shampoo and hair gel included).

 

The Veg doesn't like me, but I get along Well with the remaining Pinaud scents. I use their Clubman shampoo too. Love it! Wearing Pinaud Vanilla aftershave today.

Well...I finally got my lilac vegetal, and it smells....fantastic! I understand, however, that it smells alot fifferent when worn?! Well, i havent had the chance to wear it yet, but i have high hopes. I like a lot of levels/types of scents, so I will hope for the best.
