Yes,I'm one.However,I've been surprised to learn that there are some members here who really dislike this scent.Maybe there are more who like it,but I was surprised that anyone disliked it.
I love the clubman scents. They bring me back to childhood and walking into the local barber's. it doesn't hurt that the wife likes them also.:nj
Hello, everyone:
I have kept Pinaud's Clubman in my aftershave stash for years. After all, Pinaud's Clubman is for anyone with fond memories of the old barbershops.
Regards,
Obie
YES!|!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely
Same here, Pinaud brings back childhood memories. Needless to say, I have always a bottle in my stash and it is part of my permanent rotation. Hell, I think I will use it tonight.

The Clubman and Virgin Islands Bay Rum have been a staple in den for years, love them both
I've used the bay rum on and off for years. It's really not bayrum but I like it. The other stuff is a different story. The typical barbershop smell is from Lilac Vegetal which I think should be banned and all users sent to a deserted island. Yes it reminds me of my days as a kid sitting in the barbershop and then they used manual clippers for haircuts and I had this thing about them and that smell brings it all back.
I don't like the Clubman, but I like the Vanilla. The bay rum has a nice scent too, but it burned to much.
I bought the Clubman about a year ago, wasn't keen when I tried it then and put it in a cupboard. Tried it again last week and really liked it, bizzare huh?
I have used it for many years and most customers seem to like it with some even specifically asking for it. There are however some who don't like it and I even have one customer who is allegeric to it.
Even after all these years of using it I still love the smell of it and I love how it feels in my hands. Pretty good stuff.
Absolutely love it! I bought a bottle of it about a month and a half ago and it is now one of my go to favorites:)
Another devotee. I've been using Pinaud Clubman for years. In fact, you've got me wishing I hadn't forgotten to put any on this morning!

I bought some the other night because of this thread and it is pretty nice.
Love the stuff I've used for a while Like a few have said reminds me of younger going in a barber shop. My barber still has it in his shop the power smell like clubman also.
I am a long time fan of Clubman, Reserve and Vanilla. I never get tired of them.
Have fun,
Lynn
I love the Clubman as well. Its an excellent, reasonably-priced quality aftershave. Its my go-to afterahave.
I must admit, though, that recently I have been attracted to Booster products--especially their Polar Ice.
I'm a fan of Clubman, Lustray Coach (same scent), Bay Rum, and I adore the Vanilla. Yep just call me a fan.
After seeing Clubman in Walgreen's stores for years and then, this post, I had to stop by and buy a bottle of the Clubman AS tonight. I like it. My wife does not.
I found a site that sells sample sizes (2oz) of the Pinaud AS and hair tonics. In a quest for something that my wife will approve of, I ordered samples of the AS in Lime Sec, Citrus Musk, Vanilla and eau de Portugal and eau to quinine hair tonics.

I too am rather fond of Clubman and Bayrum. Can't handle the Lilac Vegetal though. When I was a little tyke and sneaking around watching my grand father shave, he would get annoyed. To run me off he'd put Lilac Vegetal on my face then laugh like hell. At 5 & 6 years of age it stung and turned my cheeks rosy. Then my Mom would get PO'ed. That smell doesn't bring back fond memories, but the Clubman does. The small town I live in still has an old style barber shop. Barber pole and all.............not a SALON. They still clean up around your ears and neck with a str8 and warm lather, then finish it off with Clubman. Folks around here call it a red neck barber shop. I call it heaven. Haircuts for 10.50 & shaves for 7.50. Then we always throw the barber a nice tip.
I got a sample of the Pinaud Vanilla recently and I wonder if they gave me something else? The color of the aftershave lotion is a pale brown/amber (like the color of ginger ale). But to my nose, it smells nothing like vanilla. To me it smells similar in some way to Polo by Ralph Lauren. I don't get any vanilla out of it.
I also got a sample of Lime Sec and Citrus Musk I'll be trying.
Any thoughts on the Pinaud Vanilla?

What was the site that sold the sample sizes? I am looking to try a few out but don't want to buy a large bottle only to find out that I dislike the scent.
^^^^^^^^^^^Ditto
I Love the Classic scent and have the big bottle of it I also like the Quinine hair tonic but I would love to have the whole collection just for varieties sake. THey also used to make a stick deodorant in the classic scent, I miss that stuff now they have a spray I might have to try. The talc is the best scent, my barber uses it on his brushes and always has.
EDIT: found the samples
Club man is just awesome, it's all I use now!
I've mentioned it before, either here or elsewhere, but it bears repeating:
If you like Clubman and have a Walgreens nearby, stop in and grab one of these aftershave balms:

That little red sticker says "compare to Afta" or somesuch, and that's what this is: generic Afta. However, comparing the two side-by-side reveals this generic version to have a much nicer smell, and it is FANTASTIC when layered over Clubman. You have to try it to believe it.
This especially goes for those of you whose significant others aren't so hot about Clubman. My wife doesn't like Clubman much, and she's only so-so about this balm by itself, but she goes crazy for the combination. It's worth a shot, anyway. :D
Bought this at wallgreens last night and I can't be happier right now. My shave started with my first experience with AlRaz' Bomb cream which has truly killed any sign of soap acquisition disorder(Review soon to come) znd ended up with a splash of Clubman A/S. I'm walking on cloud 9. Now I just hope my wife digs it to really top it off.
