recently i followed the lead of many others here and purchased a pinaud product.my barber uses regular clubman as an after cut hair tonic but i'm on the fence as to whether i like it or not.out of the bottle it has a scent reminescent of tomcat urine but that is not what it smells of upon application. so i did some research here and decided to try the special reserve as it was said to have a bit of a sandalwood scent.upon opening the bottle i thought i detected a bit of cedar and spice,not sure of the sandalwood though.i did a quick shave and splashed some on.not very moisturizing but strong and on me very lasting the next morning i could still smell it.since it was a bit drying and very strong i mixed 20% clubman ,20% glycerine and 60%witch hazel in a small cruet bottle and used it as an a/s.the mix was moisturing and toned down the scent.the scent kept its staying power though.i could still smell it 8-9 hours later.just cannot wear this within 24 hours of going hunting as every deer within 5 miles would smell me!
