Thread: pinaud scents

What does this stand for? Where do you find it?

http://ebarbershop.com/ShopSite/club.html jmsbcknr it's on this page down toward the bottom. No idea if Geo stands for anything, just the name of one of their scents I guess. Very similar to Aqua di Geo cologne.

To us the scents dissipate fast, but I tend to shave around 1-2 PM and get compliments/comments from people when I get to work at 5PM about if I've been to a barbershop today (with the Pinaud classic)...I did get one compliment from a female co-worker about how I don't reek of cologne like the other guys my age. I'm "more subtle" - about the only thing I can be subtle with!

I think once my wife's summer job situation settles down I'll order some from Ray, as most places here sell just the classic, which I have in abundance.

I went to Eckerd this weekend and found Pinaud's BayRum. This is my favorite so far. Like Rich, My 3 year old daughter asks me to shave so that I can "smell good just for her". My wife says she likes it too. I think it smells like a candle shop with a lot of cinnamon. Its a little different but everyone seems to like it. It also feels good, It does indeed make your face feel tight and refreshed.

My local drugstore carries the plain Clubman, but I haven't tried it. I have used the vanilla and "special reserve" varieties that I ordered from Classic, and they're both great. I like the special a little better though, it has a very nice scent.

I came across a couple "new" ones yesterday at our local flea market - I got a bottle each of the classic vanilla (which is quite nice and not very vanilla) and the musk.

Is it just me, or does the musk smell exactly like the classic pinaud scent, only more concentrated???

Oh, they also sold the Eau de Portugal and one other hair tonic - I did not get them only cause I know NOTHING of them. I do use Vitalis on occasion, so if someone can make a comparison to it I'd appreciate it.

I quite like it myself, but the wife fessed up today and said they were all too strong for her.

Meh, I likes em, so I will uses em.

This place has all the Pinaud products you could ever dream of, and the prices are good to boot.

No Hai Karate though, sorry.
