I picked up a fresh bottle of the Special Reserve the other day. Still great stuff. It is a stronger scent then the clubman so not for work as I am in a small inclosed room. But still great for out and about on the town and such. It is outstanding stuff.r

Well after months of experimentation.....the final verdict is......This stuff is great....ha!ha! But if I had to break it down.... I think the Classic Vanilla is THE compliment getter... Special Reserve is THE best leather scent of any cologne I've tried....only an actual cockpit of a mid 50's Jaguar comes close to this leather scent.... The Original Clubman has that fabulous "Powder" scent.... And the Veg is unique....
So I like to use all of them....but I layer a splash of the Classic Vanilla with whichever one is the scent of the day...The Vanilla works with them all....and adds a classy touch that my wife loves.....No matter what I use....If I add a splash of Clubman Vanilla, she digs it...and the compliments roll...So the Vanilla is getting daily use, with one of the others or with Aqua Velva Musk....thats a favorite AS cocktail aswell....

Special Reserve is not for everyone. It certainly isn't a modern citrusy or aquatic type scent. Its leathery and dark and settles down so nicely. Da Veg will always be my favorite but SP is a close second. My wife loves both of these on me too !!

I finally got to try the original Clubman AS, thanks to a friend who brought me a bottle from the States, and guess what? I like it a lot I find that in some floral notes it is quite similar to Brut, another fragrance that I love. Unfortunately, unlike Brut, Clubman products cannot be found anywhere here in Italy...the only way is ordering on-line, but only from the few european sites that have it. In fact, when it comes to cosmetic products (including shaving soaps and AS) incoming orders from outside the EU are subject to custom duties, which would result in paying a ridiculous amount of money to have these products delivered from the States. Anyway, in a few weeks I will be travelling to the UK, so I was wondering whether the Clubman products are sold over there and, if it's the case, if you had some advices on where to find it.

Clubman is not widely available in the UK, if at all. There are online shops based in the UK which sell them, but we have to buy online.
I did see a bottle of VIBR in a hairdresser chain shop called 'Sally's'. It's popular amongst the black community, I gather, so you might well find it also in general stores in areas of their ethnic concentration. That's all I've seen in the wild here.

There is a Sally's in the US too. I've never seen a majority of black women there. Just women of all different races. I've never seen a male there... but they do have a small men's section and they carry Pinaud Clubman products: the aftershave, talc, and canned foam. Must be different there.

"It's" being VIBR, not 'Sally's'.

Ok so what I can do is buy it online and having it delivered at my sister's place, where I'll be staying. Can you recommend any online shop which has reasonable prices and delivery rates? (If we aren't breaking any forum rules, otherwise please PM me).

The only one that springs to mind is manmachine.co who I have bought with before ... who, alas, have "no items" for sale.
