Thread: pinaud scents

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.

I know this has been posted many times. If you are into the Nostalgic Stinkumfoo, this place has it all:

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

No Hai Karate though, sorry.

Jones no longer!

I just got out of the shower, I hadn't planned on taking one, but my wife told me I was either going to wash "that crap" off or sleep somewhere else!

I got a package in the mail today, it was the bottle of Bay Rum I had ordered a few days ago. No offence, but I knew I had probably made a mistake as soon as I saw the cheap plastic bottle and cap.

Oh my gawd, thinking it would tone down a bit over the course of the day, I tried it. WRONG!

I smelled like I'd spent a week in oil of cloves! A friggin' Christmas Ham in tennis shoes!

Sorry guys, I'll be shopping for aftershave at Dillard's again real soon.

Yeah, not a big fan of the Bay Rum myself. Love the Clubman though. Haven't tried the others yet. I also use the Pinaud Body Talc. Nice.

Tommy,

She didn't like the Bay Rum??? (Pinaud??) That is about the only one my wife will tolerate. Oh well.
