I think the various products Pinaud makes behave differently. Clubman lasts a good long time for me, as does the Virgin Island Bay Rum. Lime Sec seems to fade somewhat quicker. In any event, I start off with a good hearty splash in the cupped palm. It's hard to use too much because they are all about AS dilution. (Even the Lime Sec, which is marketed as "cologne")

How much Pinaud . . . ?
Hello, breadstick:
I pour a small amount of aftershave (I rotate a dozen or so fragrances), about a teaspoonful, and then gently slap it on with much aplomb. After all, one of life's great pleasures is that fragrant liquid after a sweet shave.
Regards,
Obie

Hello, Victor:
The word aplomb is a noun, meaning dignity and confidence.
I embrace the ritual of wet shaving with the straight razor (and double edge) completely, from start to finish. Whether creating lather, stropping the straight razor or shaving, I relish the time spent on this activity every day. The aftershave crowns my achievement and makes me feel like a king entering his court with all the dignity and confidence in the world — with aplomb.
In other words, I shake a little aftershave in my palm, rub my hands together and gently slap my face with the fragrant nectar: "Oh, yes!"
Regards,
Obie

Thanked: 1185One thing's for sure, there is no middle of the road with Lilac Vegetal. You'll either love it or hate it. Don't judge it by the smell in the bottle. Once applied to the skin and allowed a brief dry down, it smells quite nice. I'm out of it at the moment but keep thinking it would match quite well with TOBS Eton College. The smell, as best as I can describe it is kind of a powdery, flowery kind of affair but not overly sweet and very subtle
Two things:
1. Clubman is my grandson's go to aftershave but (but my wife does tell him he smells like a Grandpa )
2. Tell your wife the true "old man smell" only comes from beer farts, cheap cigars and Ben Gay (or any combination of the three.)Last edited by 1OldGI; 02-05-2011 at 07:48 AM.

I love the original Clubman, got the vanilla scent as well. The original is just too strong for me though. After i got my bottle, I got a few of those little 1 oz. pump spray bottles and put it in one of them. When I'm ready to use it, I just wet my hands in the sink and pump out two sprays on one hand. Rub my hands together and apply.
You still get some of the burn and it dilutes it down so it's not too strong. Really, I shave my head too and two pumps covers my bald head and my face just perfect.
