Good pomade, just not for me
The hold is light as dictated, The feel is a bit heavy compared to the original oil pomade. The scent profile is not what I expected, its light and a bit like flowers then it turns into a smell a bit like paste. I did not smell bergamot like was mentioned in the description. Seems appropriate in a business setting or if a lady may need some pomade. Quality is good and lasts as long as the rest of the products, not as greasy on your fingers as other products I have used, even other Johnny's. I probably would not purchase again as its not what I look for in a pomade for scent, even though I had high hopes.

I actually ordered the oil-based pomade by mistake, intending to get the water-based version, but I ended up really liking it. The main difference to note is the consistency—it’s noticeably harder to scoop and work with than the water-based formula. I also still prefer the scent of the water-based pomade over this one. That said, I really like the overall hold and performance of this oil-based product. A solid mistake to mak
