Citrus Musk

This is a really fantastic citrus eau de cologne. It smells just like it's titled: of citrus and musk - in this case lemon and lime and white musk. There is also tons of lemongrass in this - I've smelled lemongrass essential oil and this smells very similar (lemongrass basically smells like sweet lemon candy somewhat with a sort of green vibe, to my nose). It starts with the beautiful green-leaning citrus (due to a lot of lime note) and dries down to white musk with hint of white flowers like lily of the valley. Those are the only things I detect. This is probably better used as an aftershave than as a proper cologne though since projection and longevity are both weak. But they are stronger than regular aftershaves, but weaker than eau de colognes on the market. The citrus in this is the sweet kind, so it smells like candy sort of. This doesn't bother me however as I really like the scent anyway. If you want a ramped up version of this exact scent, try Anglia Spiced Limes. And a super ramped up version of this with beastmode projection and longevity is Mancera's Lemon Line. They both smell like Pinaud Citrus Musk but with maybe less of the musk (they also share the candy lemon and lime opening). Overall, this is my favourite from Pinaud's inexpensive cologne offerings, along with their Virgin Island Bay Rum. But this is for the summer while I think bay rum is a winter scent. I ended up mixing this with 4711 Eau de Cologne and putting it in a travel atomizer to spray on whenever I feel like it. 5/5

Probably the best Clubman around along with the Special Reserve. Citrus Musk is all of the best parts from 4711 and Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia with a lime kick and some light floral musk on the dry down. It lasts longer than both as well and can on occassion last for hours in the right conditions. It's also cheap as can be and readily available all over the place. As with all cheap fragrances in plastic bottles transferring them into glass bottles greatly improves the scent and performance. The problem with Clubman is the cheap plastic bottles not only impart a nasty skunky odor, they also leach who knows what into the products, so again highly recommend moving them to glass asap. Smells a lot higher end than you'd imagine and I doubt anyone could tell it costs like $10 for a massive 12oz bottle just from smelling it on someone.

Clubman Pinaud Citrus Musk, when splashed fairly liberally, lasts longer on me than most of my EDTs and projects plenty well. It also smells on the natural side and is a surprisingly smooth blend. It is a linear fragrance that stays smelling fresh, clean, and uplifting for an entire workday. It is not cheapy smelling at all. A classic that's much better than the modern scents that are designed to just smell good for a couple minites to make a quick sale. Citrus Musk has "musk" in the classic soapy sense, not animalic. My best description of this cologne would be if Jell-O came out with a scented soap intended to smell similar to Lime Jell-O. What you'll get is Lime Jell-O with significant soapiness thrown in.

Wonderful in its simplicity. Energizing, fresh and uplifting in that clean lemongrass way already written about. I'm convinced that this juice was the primary inspiration for Artisan Pure by John Varvatos. Citrus Musk lasts about as long as you'd expect an aftershave to last: but what you get for that short duration is incredible. The low price is an extra bonus. As with any Pinaud fragrance (or others that come in a plastic container), decant to a glass bottle to preserve quality. A spray bottle is my preference but liberal splashes are all good with this juice. Unless someone can't stand lemon: this is highly recommended for anyone to try in any age group, either gender. 10/10
