Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods After Shave Lotion, 6 oz

This is one of the only aftershave products (besides the original Clubman) that I like. Such a great smell. It's hard to describe, it's subtle and warm. If you like the original, give this a try!

This is by far my favorite, and my wife's favorite, Pinaud scent. Longer lasting than the others and a great spicy aroma.

I love Clubman. Original, Lilac Vegetal, Citrus Musk, Gents Gin, and this.When I put this on after shaving I am whisked back to my youth and the way my dad smelled after showering on Saturday night.Manly, classic scent.

I'm giving it 4 stars, because I kind of like the smell. I never opened the bag it came in, I could smell the after shave in the sealed bottle, through the sealed bag, as soon as I opened the box it was in. Moreover, my wife could smell it, and she said that if I splashed that stuff on my face, then we'd be riding in separate cars, because she couldn't stand it. So, there you go. The smell was remenicient of clove and cinnamon. No refunds. Which I get. But still kind of sad, since it was never opened. Thankfully it wasn't expensive. For reference, I usually splash on Armani's Aqua Di Gio, which is about $12 an ounce, but smells so good. I was really hoping for a more economical alternative. This isn't it. FOR ME, ANYWAY. For the price, it's worth the shot to try it. Oddly enough, I caught some similar scents of the Armani along with the clove and cinnamon. You may love it. Try it and see.

I'm not a practiced aftershave reviewer, so I can't compare scents very well to base ingredients. I do have quite a bit of experience with Pinaud Clubman scents, so I feel like I have a good understanding of how Whiskey Woods falls into the brand's lineup.For me, Whiskey Woods has at two phases as it warms to the skin and lingers. The smell from the bottle is smokey and muted. As you apply, the smokey liquor smell is moderately heavy with just a bit of sharpness. For me, that effect wears off within 15 minutes. At that point, it maintains a masculine effect with faint smokiness, but mellow sweet (fruity?) powdery scent. To my untrained aftershave senses, it seems to lean towards the powdery aspect of an old spice for several hours. A light splash doesn't last more than 4 hours for me. Heavy splashes will last all day.I find it to be a good middle ground between regular Clubman and Special Reserve. If you didn't like how heavy handed Special Reserve is, but want something heavier than regular Clubman, this might be what you're looking for.This scent is very masculine. Although it hasn't been around very long, it does not have any resemblance to modern "sporty" (i.e. very sweet, aqua) scents you get with so many colognes. This is old-fashioned and a great variation on classic Clubman scents. It's awesome to see Pinaud introduce a scent that embodies old-fashioned qualities in a modern way.

This stuff smells good. I have to give it five stars because my wife likes it.

I went through four stages of acceptance and denial with this scent.1. While still In the bottle, it had a fairly attractive scent wafting out.2. When actually splashing on, my initial reaction to the scent as it hit my skin was that is was AWFUL!3. After a few moments, I seemed to think it might have some potential. I thought it was rather good.4. An hour or two later later, I then came to realize, it's not all that great.And, I think I may know why. Whiskey Woods is a bit too sweet and contains a slight powder note. I don't really care for this kind of scent. It reminds me of Aqua Velva Ice Sport (not to be confused with Ice Blue). Ice Sport is also sweet and powdery. Not at all to my liking. (Both Whisky Woods and Aqua Velva Ice Sport remind me of a ladies' cosmetics counter. This would be back in the days when we had large, luxurious department stores. I was just a kid of five or six.)So, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Whisky Woods after only one use. It MAY grow on me (I have my doubts). For now, I'm going to set it aside and perhaps come back to it later. It's not the masculine sent I was hoping it would be.Like other reviewers have noted, Whiskey Woods is nothing like the original Pinaud after shave. The original is terrific stuff! From my first use, I absolutely fell in love with it! Number two (so far) in the Clubman line-up is Virgin Island Bay Rum! Another really terrific masculine scent! Love it!Whisky Woods, so far, for me, is just okay. I was expecting more and it fell short.I'll give it three stars because, if you like sweet and powdery, it may be for you.
