With spring/summer upon us, I'm in the mood for an aftershave that I can splash on with reckless abandon and not worry about emitting a 6 foot parameter stench cloud wherever I go. I do like citrus and I do like musk so my attention has been drawn to Pinaud Citrus Musk. What gives me pause is that I've tried another Pinaud product, Pinaud Clubman and I really didn't like it at all.
Some time ago, based on the recommendations and near unanimous love for Pinaud Clubman found here, I gave Clubman a try. Out of the 4 people in my household (3 of them women) no one liked it. It went on way too strong, the scent was overwhelming. I also found the scent to be cloying and overly sweet. It wasn't until hours later when the scent was disappearing that I kind of liked the scent. If the scent started more subtle like that, I might be able to get on board with it. I tried it a handful of times to see if it would grow on me but it didn't. Now I'm pretty thrifty and normally I would just use it up and not buy it again but I disliked the scent to the point where I couldn't even wear it any more. I was going to just toss it in the trash but fortunately I was able to trade it for some blades. Should I let my dislike of Clubman cloud my judgement for other scents in the line? Does the Citrus Musk smell anything like the Clubman? (a good answer here would be no) Does it go on with an overpowering/overwhelming scent? Does it last the better part of a day like Clubman does? How would you describe the scent of Citrus Musk? How does the scent age/change from the time you put it on to as the day wears on?
