I think it has a powdery clove scent with a hint of pepper.
ok guys, maybe it is similar to any other scent? Is it more clubman or proraso type of scent?
Neither. It's cold like Proraso, though. AV is so good. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
To me, that sounds almost just like Old Spice and not AV at all. But people's noses smell different things....
AV Smells like 
Being fairly new here, I'm just glad I'm not alone in the practice of using (and enjoying) alcohol based aftershaves and not the expensive stuff.

I don't think it smells anything at all like Old Spice, Clubman, English Leather, Proraso, or anything else.
If I really had to compare the scent, I would almost say it smells like Windex, at least right out of the bottle.

I don't think you can judge it right out of the bottle. Right out of the bottle all I get is a sharp alcohol odor and really strong menthol. However, once that wears off, it is a nice scent, very much what I used to think of your everyday man smelled like until more metrosexual scents hit the scene.
I can't discern different notes in it - I don't have the nose for it. To me, once you mix enough different scents together, it becomes its own scent, separate and distinct from its components. This is not a musky scent, a marine scent, a floral scent. It is a masculine scent, just like I feel that TOBS Mr. Taylor is a masculine scent.
I have it and Pinaud Clubman, and am thinking of abandoning Clubman - I just can't get used to that scent. AV surprised me. I thought it would be crap. But since I decided to give it a try, I've come to realize that price and quality in this arena are not necessarily directly proportional. If anything, it makes me feel a little sheepish for the higher-priced goodies I have bought, given I can also find quality products at my local drugstore.

Mentholated, Lilac powder. Definitely.
I have wondered if there is a cologne that smells like ice blue
AV ice blue smells like a MAN! NO metromale stuff for me.
Exactly! None of that unisex crap! Who thought that was a good idea anyway?

No idea.
Could I get some colder cucumber slices here, please?
I hope you want them for your Salad.
