Clubman Pinaud Eau de Portugal Compound Hair Tonic, Formulated for Light Hair, Removes Loose Dandruff, 12.5 fl oz, 1-pack

Pleasant fragrance. Removes static and flyaway. As easy to use as water. Makes hair more manageable without weighing down. Not at all greasy. Only a small amount is needed and hair stays in place. Great product and economical. It is the best product of this type that I have used.

I transitioned from a buzz cut to longer hair (about 2 inches long) over the last few months. When it reached the length that it started looking unkempt, I used a hair gel to keep it in place. The hair gel worked, but left a crunchy sensation in my hair. I could comb out the crunchiness, but then my hair looked frizzy. I transitioned to this hair tonic about a month ago and I love it. It keeps my hair from blowing around wildly, while still looking natural with no plastic sheen or crunchiness. I was concerned it might dry out my hair because one of the main ingredients is alcohol. But that doesn't seem to be a problem. In fact, it leaves my hair feeling thicker and softer than the gel did. It has a distinctive smell that reminds me of an old school barbershop, in a good way. The smell is pretty strong when you first apply the tonic, but the smell dissipates quickly once the tonic dries. It's not like some aftershaves where the smell follows you around like a cloud all day. Perhaps most importantly, the wife approves!

GREAT Hair Tonic. Smells absolutely macho.

Great stuff. I love how fresh it makes my hair and scalp feel when I apply it. The musky smell is the only way I can describe the smell, but it's a good smell to me. Maybe I'm off by a bit, but it at least reminds me of my dad's old spice after shave...definitely not the same, just reminds me of that old school, but good scent. The tonic does help a little in shaping my hair, and it's very light in any kind of hold to that shaping, but very minimal. My hair is thin follicles though and stubborn to manage, so others may feel it holds even better. It does leave a sort of residue in the hair that gives a sense of a kind of non-greasy dryness. Though not bad, I can tell it's there, which without washing my hair for an extra day gets to me more than probably most people. So I do really like this tonic; it's refreshing on applying, really like the scent...but it's not unnoticeable in how it feels on my head. Not "bad" in that regard either. I have already recommended it to a few people and let my dad try it and a couple of other family members smell it. Overall, good response too.

Works and smells great!

It’s not greasy, leaves hair feeling natural. Soft scent is good.

I purchased this tonic after reading other's reviews of it, as well as owning Clubman's talc and after shave. I love the smell! I don't have dry scalp or hair loss issues, but wanted to get the fresh/tingling sensation on my head that other's praised, and have the signature Clubman scent on my hair. Also, since old-school barbershop fans like it, how can you go wrong? Overall, this is quite an alcohol-centered scent, moreso to my nose than the Clubman scent itself. It's definitely no where near as pronounced as the after shave on one's skin. I rub it into my hair and scalp after a shower when my hair's still a bit damp, and I really do get more alcohol than anything else. I can't say my scalp tingles at all, and honestly after maybe 10 minutes I don't detect any Clubman aroma anywhere near me. This tonic does allow for easy styling/combing of hair, and it's hold is slight but quality throughout the day. My hair stays in place (as I want it) all day, without a dry look or super-wet look or a hard/crispy feel. My fingers easily can run through my hair, and it just looks clean and natural. At first I felt like it looked a little greasy, but it's not really. Makes the hair seem just subtly damp, which is nice. So I would recommend this to someone looking for a more natural/casual-looking alternative to gel or Axe, but don't count on having the beautiful Clubman scent around much. It's very faint and just doesn't last at all. Honestly, I'd say save your 12 dollars and just style your hair damp after a shower while using a little Pinaud Clubman aftershave on your hands. That will really do the job, you'll get the signature smell of barbershop, and only spend 7 bucks on the aftershave. But I can't say don't purchase this if you're curious. It's pretty good and a memory of a bygone gentleman's era.

The aroma of this hair tonic is light and pleasant with the citrus scents. It holds your hair in place well while remaining soft to the touch I prefer it to styling in gel.
