Clubman Special Reserve Shave Cologne, After Shave Macho Fragrance, 6 fl oz

I have been a long time clubman aftershave fan the past 13 years. While I only used the pinaud clubman shave lotion exclusively until the past couple years - then tried and still use their Bay Rum splash and made part of my weekly rotation, I had not tried any others. So recently bought some others to try like this Special Reserve. So here is the breakdown: It's an Aftershave Cologne, so it will be a little different than the Clubman Pinaud Aftershave Lotion. BLUF: It works. The smell is spicy, kinda in a small way smokey but kinda leather. It's very masculine and is what you want in your aftershave rotation. You could also just use as a cologne as well. For example, first use I later went outside and all the women came out and chased me down the street and now they are claiming child support. Its that powerful. and has the old time mens barber shop smell for those old enough to remember it last century. Because it's a cologne, the smell is more heavy and will stick around until you shower the next day. While Clubman's Pinaud is the best aftershave lotion you can buy, you need to have the Bay Rum splash for the light shaving or on the go days and the Special Reserve for when you need everyone focused on you. Bottle came secure and had no leakage, is effective and long lasting and though a cologne, leaves the skin soft. While some may call the smell older man or old timey, its for anyone old enough to shave.

Strong woods and smoke for the first splash. Then settles to a masculine semi heavy scent. It seems better than the bay rum. The original is hard to beat. But does hang around like the special reserve.

I had never smelled it so, I bought the smallest bottle I could. I was positive on it, barely. My wife was not. The scent profile is a rich blend of wood, musk, leather, citrus and traditional fragrances, it exudes a strong scent initially , but fades quickly without any floral or light undertones. Would I buy again... Not likely. It's just not a scent for me. One star removed for how fast it fades. Considering tinkering a bit by adding a touch of vetiver and maybe a touch of amber.

Such a great scent and experience. It came fast, accurately and was such an unexpected delight. I had no idea Pinaud/Clubman had so many wonderful product and so affordable s. I’m hooked.

Put it on after you shave face be feeling good.

This aftershave has a very pungent fragrance that lasts all day. Some people might not like the smell, but I do ... although I don't use it too frequently and tend to wear it only when I know I'm going to be in the presence of men. I have other, softer fragrances I use when I'm with females.

This stuff is by far the strongest smelling stuff I have ever purchased. The scent this leaves behind is absolutely overpowering and it lasts for the better part of 24 hours even after trying to wash it off I still could not get the smell of this stuff off. I have no idea how there are reviews to say the sense fades quickly etc maybe I got a special bottle of concentrate I don't know but I ended up throwing it away

It is hard to place the elements of this aftershave, some say it is STRONG but I did not find it so. Their Virgin Island Bay Rum leaps out of the bottle and in the first minutes shouts to the world, I AM HERE, not the Special Reserve. It is subdued, but you can tell you are wearing it. Soft tones of leather, a bit of soap...not flowery, just hard to place. It is unique, it does smell nice. It will not be my go to aftershave just something to change up with or perhaps after-splash late in the day before going out for the evening. I applied to my face right after a cold water cool down from my double edge shave. It had a slight sting, very quick, nothing to note actually but it does have alcohol so expect a bit of this after a shave. I keep my blade sharp and shave well so nick cuts and abrasions are minimal and perhaps that is why no big slap in the face experience using this for me. For me...not STRONG, it is detectable, it is 'soft' ins scent, bit of leather but not musk, a sweetness smell to it. Is that "manly" ? Well, not to me but it is pleasant, will not offend due to strong odor those around you. It may be perfect for you, not strong enough for you, depends on your tastes. For me, I will keep it around and use it up, but it will not be my signature scent. That is my review part - now, my question on the name which has nothing to do perhaps with the product. Companies and products historically reserve the phrases "Reserve" and "Special Reserve" to denote that it is a limited release and availability, commands a higher price due to this AND that there indeed is something special about it. I have Clubman product, as this is a stand alone release, what is it supposed to be a "Special Reserve" of, which of the other products is the parent scent? I find nothing Special about it, and as there is an unlimited supply and available to non-insiders of Clubman, why is it a reserve? Reserved for who ? OK, end of questions.

I have been using Pinaud Clubman products for some time now and this product is good but not as good as the regular Clubman Aftershave lotion. The fragrance is a bit on heavy side. Much like the Aramis fragrance. Good though.

parfum tonique qu'on imagine parfaitement dans un salon de barbier "old school".. L' odeur est subtile et tient bien sur la peau,mais sait s'effacer dès l' application d' une eau de toilette ...C'est exactement ce que j' attend un after-shave. ( la bouteille est en plastique mais le contenant n' enlève rien au charme du contenu )

Das Pinaud Clubman After Shave Musk ist ein Duft der auffällt. Nicht weil er sonderlich nach Muschus duftet. Hier täuscht der Name. Er duftet sehr sauber, aufgeräumt, aber auch besonders. Wenn es nach Düften geht, wäre es eine männlichere Version von Gaultiers "le Male". Wer eben NICHT wie alle anderen duften will, liegt hier richtig.

Se cercate qualcosa di più dal vostro aftershave, qualcosa che vi riporti alla mente l’Italia anni 60, il profumo che si trovava dal barbiere di un tempo, se cercate del romanticismo e non un semplice aftershave, bhe Clubman non vi tradirà mai. La fragranza è quella di altri tempi e una volta applicato sulla pelle appena rasata saprà donarvi immediata freschezza…….10 stelle tutte meritate 😃
