Scent Description
Clubman is one of the most iconic and well-known aftershaves in wet shaving, yet its exact scent composition is a bit of a mystery and somewhat controversial. Most consider it to be both a classic Fougere and the king of all Barbershop scents. Yet although it's green like a Fougere, this mainly manifests as an intense mossyness which lacks some of the herbaceous and woody notes found in others. While it undoubtedly contains citrus accords, the bouquet leans more floral with strong representations from geranium and lavender. Its signature is a sweet vanilla and floral muskiness mixed with strong oakmoss to create a heady brew which is in some ways brash but has a swagger which exhibits confidence and sophistication. Clubman is a rich and luxurious scent which can be worn in almost any situation as long as one has the commitment and confidence to wear it with pride.

About Clubman Pinaud
The Pinaud brand was started by Edouard Pinaud, a French perfumer, who opened a small shop in Paris specialzing in fine fragrances, hair tonics, and grooming products in 1830. The fragrances grew in popularity and in the 1850s Pinaud began suppling perfumes to the royal court of Napolean III. After Pinaud's death in 1868, the company went through multiple ownership changes until it was taken over by Roger Goldet In the 1930s, who split the company into French and American affiliates. It was under Goldet that in the 1940s the American affiliate launched the Clubman line of talc and aftershave which quickly gained popularity and became staples of American barbershops in the 1950s. In 1986, the Clubman line was acquired by American International Industries (AII) and expanded to shaving cream, hair care, body powder, and beard products, while Pinaud remains an independent Perfumery in Paris.
