Clubman Lustray line

Forum GOD!
To staff: I can't find a thread about this AS lotion line from Clubman, but if I missed it, please move it there.

First of all, I realize that all impressions of cosmetics and fragrances are subjective, and I'm only sharing my personal impressions.

They are sold at a very affordable price of $7.20 for a 414 ml volume. So far, i've tried Lustray Spice and Blue Spice. Both have the same effect on the skin, a short alcoholic burning sensation and nothing more, absolutely no residue on my skin after drying, but they don't dry out the skin. For me personally, when I touch my skin, it just feels normal. No stickiness or greasiness, but no dryness either. If it didn't smell and feel smooth after shaving, it would feel like I didn't apply anything, and if the shave goes on without irritation, I almost forget I shaved :eek::laugh:
I have to say here that my skin is in the "normal" category, not greasy, not dry.
As for the scents, to me they are perfect. Masculine and a bit imposing. But don't trust my nose, trust yours:wink::D
Spice opens with a slightly sour, citrusy scent, and then tones down to what I perceive as a slightly sweet, mostly clove and cinnamon, and it stays with you for a decent amount of time, at least 4 to 6 hours.
Blue Spice as a whole resembles a sweet barbershop scent, I smell a mix of cinnamon, musk and frankincense notes with a touch of something woody. This scent stays with you quite a bit longer, at least 8-10 hours.
Here are some images:

Both sound really good, old-timey scents. Your description of the effect upon the skin (short alcoholic burn, no residue but does not dry out the skin) is what attracts me to the core Clubman line, generally. I wish these were more available in the UK.

@pjgh Honestly i was surprised when i found 'em in Serbia, and even more when i've found out that the price was almost equal to the retail price on the Clubman website. It is cheap for the amount, compared to the main Clubman AS line, but if not the best, it's a good "bang for the buck" in my opinion.

Oh, snap. I did buy it at a local (serbian) barber supply. The cheapest of them. So in the end they did rip me off :o_o: :roflmao: But in reality, since it's alcohol based, i don't think it could be shipped to me anyway, and even if it was possible, the shipping cost would certainly be too high...

They charged the going rate probably, if I buy from Clubman it's $7.20 plus shipping, which is still better than full retail. and that's if you can find it!

You did OK and it is good stuff. 👍

They didn't have it in stock, but will give it a sniff if i see it. I'm interested in it too. By the name i widely guess it's a tribute/copy/omage to the Drakkar noir perfume...

If indeed it smells like Drakkar Noir I’ll be all over it, or, should I say it’ll be all over me. The Drakkar Noir is one of my favourite aftershave lotions.:thumbsup:

I was going to get that one but the bottle doesn't say "aftershave" and some places sell it as cologne. I prefer things intended to be used as aftershave. The same for Clubman Citrus Musk and Clubman Lime Sec, the bottles don't say aftershave.

On the Fendrihan site it’s described as an E de T/Aftershave.
