A little poofier than I prefer
So then, Clubman SR is your barbershop scent?
Yes, that is my go to one.
Clubman and Floid for me.
My barbershop. It's gone from a decidedly Italian place to a more cosmopolitan shop since I first went in the 1990s (my barber is a Russian woman), but Frank Sinatra still predominates. I'll have to try out my olfactories next time I go (I switched to classic DE shaving after I last went).
Pinaud Clubman is THE classic barbershop aftershave to me. When I was growing up , the barbers always got hot shaving cream out of a machine and shaved the back of my neck with a straight razor. That was followed with a splash of Clubman and dusting of talc with a brush. All of the barber shops I went to used Clubman, so I assume they were purchased wholesale through a barber/beauty supply company. I don't remember my dad or anybody else's dad ever having Clubman in the home, however, so I associate it strictly with barbershops. Yes, there are other scents which evoke memories of the barber shops of my youth, such as leather (from the chairs), tobacco smoke, shaving cream (Barbasol?), talc, and hair tonic, but in my experience, Clubman was it as far as aftershaves.
Exactly!

Nice article above. I was an 80's child so don't remember barber shops as they were in the land of ago. But, having purchased most of whats in the article, they must have smelt amazing!
It must have been the cocktail of the lather, smoke, leather, hair tonic, barbicide and bay rum that gave them that sweet aroma.
