I've never been much of a fan of their fragrances either. I kind of liked the vanilla one and found their bay rum slightly tolerable but didn't like any of their others. My wife hated all of them. To me the classic aftershave scent has an odd Brut and urine combination smell. Not pleasant.
I can't tolerate the original Clubman much to strong. Nothing makes its less potent in my eyes no sense trying to cut it.
Classic Clubman is a little too sweet for me, but I love the Special Reserve. I can't imagine a more manly scent!
I have a bottle of the original. I like it, and so does the wife but I only use it if I shave at night. I work in a hospital and would never use it if I was going there. It's far too strong in my opinion.
I reckon I"m a lucky guy cuz when I use Clubman my wife can't seem to stay away. Get plenty of neck nuzzling and things go from there. Yup, it's good stuff for sure
My wife and I both like Clubman. Now if you were talking about Lilac Vegetal, I would have poured it down the sink myself.
Aftershave varitey is lacking in my current Den, so thankfully I know not to add Clubman. - Happy Wife = Happy Life
I love the stuff but I find it much more useful when mixed 50/50 with witch hazel. Then again you can mix another measure of vodka and cut the scent that much more. Some folks don't like it but I find it awesome with cella.
I did the same, cutting it to 50/50. Still dont find myself using it much. I like the smell but it is pretty strong.
Hmmm. How much are you guys with complaints on the strength using? I find that it dries down nicely by the time I get to work.
I am just sensitive to scents in general. A lot of deodorants bother me. I use less clubman than I do my other stuff.
Clubman appeals to an older demographic...or possibly to certain individuals with diminished olfactory sensory neurons. When I purchased a bottle of Clubman from CVS late one evening last year, the check-out clerk (female, in her late 20s) looked at the bottle and said aloud, "Hmm..'Pin-oud Clubman ....'" To which the other clerk across the aisle, a woman in her 60s (?), said, "Ooo, I love that stuff. My husband wear it!" Quizzical look still on my clerks' face as she glanced at the yellow liquid in the bottle. I then cracked open the new bottle and had her take a whiff. Her reaction.... "Thanks!...Have a great evening...."
