Pinaud Elixir

After having missed out by near minutes on the vintage Pinaud Elixir find at the Dutch Shaving Shop about ten years ago, and hoping and praying that a bottle might show up on the secondary market (at a fairly reasonable price), I’ve come to grips with the reality that I’ll likely never own a “real” one. So, the next best thing would be to make my own. I can find dozens of reasonably-priced vintage glass Pinaud bottles that match how the Elixir shampoo would originally have been packaged, but none have labels.
So, question- does anyone here own an original, and/or would anyone be able to provide measurements and a high-res scan, so I might print a replica label? Thanks in advance!

They make some really great products. My barber uses several of their “Clubman” products in his shop. Pinaud, on their official site, even has a page dedicated to Bond and Pinaud. Makes me wish they’d re-make the shampoo!
Interestingly, I’ve heard from a few sources that have owned the Elixir, there is another shampoo in the market that looks and smells like the original Pinaud product. It’s called Klorane Shampoo with Quinine. It might be a suitable filler for the reproduced bottle!
David, email sent. You’re a true gentleman. Thank you!
Found some Klorane Shampoo with Quinine on Amazon and just placed an order. Apparently it's really good and not expensive at all.

I haven’t gotten any yet, so let us know your thoughts when you get it.
Will do! -{
