Thread: Pinaud Special Reserve & Vanilla

Anybody used these recently? How do they both compare to regular Clubman? (I think Lynn said he really likes the SR.)

I have and use both ,often. They are each different from each other. I love all 3 as they remind me of growing up and getting haircuts at the barbers.

I have never used Special Reserve as I have read mostly negative reviews of it , its been called musky and for mature gents. Again this is just the thoughts of posters on other forums and is hearsay but it made a impression so I have never bought it.

Vanilla is a must get. Great fragrance that one poster likened to powdery Brut. I dunno because I am not a fan of Brut but you have to get a bottle of vanilla, make that 2 bottles of the Vanilla, just a great fragrance.

Sounds like I should pick one up soon. Curses, I just bought something from SRD, too! Should've asked sooner...

How does the scent compare to regular Clubman (which I really like.) if you have both?

Of the three, I prefer the regular Clubman for everyday.

The Special Reserve is too strong for my taste.

The Vanilla - Women like it. It's one of those scents that would make a bulldog give up a bone.

Hmm. Is it somewhat refined i.e. something Bertie Wooster would wear or would Jeeves suggest otherwise?
