Clubman

Clubman traces its heritage to Édouard Pinaud’s Parisian perfume business, established in 1830 after he acquired the shop A la Corbeille Fleurie. The original house grew from luxury perfumery into a maker of perfumes, soaps, cosmetics, hair preparations, shaving products, and other grooming goods. The Clubman name was in commercial use in the United States by 1933, and Pinaud Incorporated filed Clubman trademarks in 1937 for talcum powder, toilet water, and shaving cream. Its labels feature a dapper Frenchman commissioned for the brand, a figure that remains its unofficial face. Over time, Clubman’s public identity evolved from French perfume heritage toward American men’s grooming and traditional barbershop culture, particularly through aftershaves, hair tonics, talcum powders, and shaving products. American International Industries acquired the Pinaud brand and Clubman line more than 30 years ago and currently includes Clubman among its brands. Clubman After Shave Lotion is a best-selling aftershave with a classic fragrance blend, while Lilac Vegetal is another Pinaud aftershave that remains popular.
