The Pinaud company, founded in France in 1810, has absolutely nothing in common (beside the name) with the Pinaud products that we use today. As you may know, the Clubman brand (male toiletries) was acquired more than 30 years ago by a company from Los Angeles (AII). So, because the actual Pinaud Clubman products belong to an American company and are made in the US, they are not French anymore. The name and origin is one thing, the actual situation is another one.
Los Angeles was founded by Spaniards. Is LA a Spanish city?
Detroit was founded by a French. Is Detroit a French city?

Hey Guys .... Let's be civil here. With all the craziness happening in today's pandemic world,
do we really need to argue about this ? Pinaud ----- France or Los Angeles based ? Who cares ?
Let's simply reap the benefits of this great product and enjoy it in whichever way we choose.
And let's all keep on having fun with this terrific thread.
