It's hard to find a premium matte clay pomade, but Brooklyn Grooming has crushed it with this product. Solid hold, no shine, great scent, and perfect marketing. I bought 3 to make sure I always have a back-up.
I bought the 1oz to give the product a try because I'm really sensitive to perfumes. I have to use all unscented soaps, detergents, deodorant, etc... I have been able to wear some hair-forming clay products in the past that have very mild scents without issue, but the one I had been using is being discontinued, and so I thought I'd look for something truly unscented I could use. The product I bought is labelled "heavy hold", so I thought I'd also share that I would disagree that it is a heavy hold. It's light or medium hold I'd say, based on my experience with other products. I wasn't specifically looking for a heavier hold anyway, as I've found those can leave my hair looking or feeling kind of matted-together or artificial-looking. I let my hair fully-dry before applying this, and I'd say it holds just well-enough throughout the day, and keeps my hair looking dry and natural, while giving me the ability to shape it up and give it some body.
Based on the description I expected a wood-first aroma, but found it to be overwhelmingly the opposite with tobacco smoke dominating. That fragrance might work for some but was definitely not for me. A perfectly fine grooming oil if the fragrance is to your preference, otherwise.
