#de shaving

Clubman Pinaud has a pleasant smell from the bottle, if a bit overwhelmed by the alcohol. This alcohol smell dissipates greatly once applied. This is NOT a lotion in the traditional sense, but a liquid instead. Nice, cool feeling to the skin when splashed. Even though I had nicked my self prior to first application, I didn’t feel too much stinging. My skin tightened nicely but still felt smooth and not overly dry.

Aromas mellow to a powdery, barber shop scent. It’s very difficult to isolate scents here - a floral undertone is accompanied by warmth of indistinct spices.

My fiancee describes the scent as orangey, and not too strong. She had a reaction I imagine no one else in the world would have - it reminds her of the meat inside of Chef Boy-R-Dee ravioli. This was a huge damper on the evening, and I am now in the market for an additional aftershave, although I will continue to wear this and hop that she acclimates to the smell.
