I have never purchased a Pinaud product that I can recall. But having read mostly good reviews of their Classic Vanilla aftershave, I bought a bottle from an ebay seller with free shipping and returns. The bottle arrived today and it was packed up for return about 15 minutes later. To me, the scent was vile and cheap smelling, and sorry to say, almost nauseating. I read something here not long ago that suggested decanting Pinaud products into glass bottles. I don't think that was the issue, rather the scent profile. I almost tossed it rather than returning it considering the seller is paying shipping both ways (kind of a dick move on my part) but part of the reason I took the chance was the seller's free returns including, 'I just don't like it.' Think I'd better stick to what I know or can smell in person.
