I’ve been thinking about getting some some Pinaud Clubman vanilla scent. How is it,is it fairly strong and long lasting? I’ve got the classic Clubman and the VIBR and they are both great. Vanilla seems like a nice change for me. Please give me info on this!
Clubman Vanilla?

I love it, it is a perennial favorite. There is not a tonne of vanilla.. it is there but muted. Scent strength is pretty strong, I get whiffs of it later in the morning. I get a heavy sharp musk smell and then a nice dry down. Research the smell in more detail but for me.it.is the best of the Clubman bunch. JM
Yeah, I find it hard to describe, but when I first tried it years ago I noticed very little vanilla, and that it was more pleasant than I expected. It's a more "modern" version of Clubman in a way, if that makes sense. Less powdery and a little more herbal, I guess, though I'm not particularly adept at these kinds of descriptions. You should get some!
Worth a try! It won’t break the bank (for sure). 
For me it is not as good as Pinaud clubman or Special Reserve. However, it is FAR better than the Veg!

Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla is good on its own.
Using Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla to mix up a batch of Bootlegger's El Dorado is excellent:
El Dorado
2 Parts: Pinaud Special Reserve
2 Parts: Pinaud Classic Vanilla
1 Part: English Leather
Et tu, @BigJ?
I really like the Classic Vanilla, it's a more perfumey scent to my nose than the traditional Clubman offerings. But, like @never-stop-learning recommended, there's few things on earth that equal Bootlegger's El Dorado.
You’ll love it. Doesn’t stay quite as long as the classic, but longer than the VIBR, in my opinion.
It’s pretty faint, IMO.
I like it better than the regular Pinaud Clubman, but I find it to be a more fleeting scent...not as long lasting.
It fades very fast for me. So I mix up Eldorado with it.
Not to strong quickly dissipates. Nice scent. But….. I have no problems with the lilac vegetal either.
Go for it. You won't be disappointed. It's a staple in my rotation.
I'm just NOT a vanilla fan.
Except in my lovely bride's baking! Wowser that woman can cook/bake/fry......and she's almost as incredibly good-looking as me, if you can believe it!?!
But she's not NEARLY as humble.

I like the vanilla much better than the standard version. It does fade fast. I still have the sample nip bottle I use it very infrequently. But recommend the nip bottle to try it.
Would recommend if you did not yet do it to get the clubman sampler set.
some might end up in the bin but for the money it is a great way to find those you and your surroundings like.

It really doesn't smell at all like vanilla to me.
