Pinaud Clubman

Since no one has written anything about this wonderful little water yet, I will now do so to the best of my knowledge and belief - which means: I'll do my very best!

The CM is advertised with the scent of American barbershops. Well, I can't judge that, as I've never been to one. Here's what I've read about its fragrance pyramid:

Top note: Orange, Bergamot
Heart note: Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Geranium
Base note: Lavender, Musk, and Oakmoss

All of this seems to indicate a Fougere. However, I'm not entirely sure... Maybe a knowledgeable Parfumo can help me out.
How did I come to CM?
When I had my shaving flash again, I was looking for a classic aftershave. It shouldn't be too harsh and not too sweet, and that's how I found the Pinnaud range. And the already mentioned fragrance note "American Barbershop" made me (as surely intended) curious and eager to buy.
So a bottle of this aftershave found its way into my possession (and my old space problem reared its head again - where to put the bottle...).
The trial: After a relaxed shave, I finally used the CM. No scream, no howl... everything suspiciously good. And then the scent. It really does have something of a barber shop... something clean, sweetish.
Not harsh, by no means. It leans more towards the heavy Avon scent from the seventies - and thus for me into the realm of childhood memories "Hair Salon". Indeed, this scent
reminds me of sessions at the hairdresser. However, I was just waiting for my mother, as my mum always cut my hair herself (it looked like it too, but as a child, that doesn't bother you much).

After holding my nose over green jasmine tea, it is clear to me that in the CM, the jasmine scent is the heavyweight, and that's a good thing. I like jasmine. Lavender and oakmoss, on the other hand, are hard for me to pick out, as the jasmine and possibly the orange dominate too much.
One shouldn't expect longevity from it, but that's normal for an aftershave.

For me, the CM is an excellent aftershave with both skin-friendly properties and a rare and pleasant scent that I gladly recommend.
