Extreme Hold Hair Pomade for Men - Spiced Vanilla - 4 oz

Really happy with this pomade! It has a strong hold that lasts all day, but it’s still super easy to style and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. Washes out easily with just water, which is a big plus. The spiced vanilla scent is subtle and smells great. Highly recommend!

Smells amazing! I love the smell it has. It is like a spicy cinnamon smell and it is very addicting to smell. Applying it is really easy and washes off fairly easy without any extra water. It was a lot less than I expected however, would consider buying a bigger one if available.

Amazing smell and hold. Lasts all day.

I've ordered and tremendously enjoyed the Extreme Firm version from Viking over the years. It's THE strongest, stickiest product and the only one that's a match for my ridiculously thick and heavy hair (and yet somehow it washes out cleanly and quickly - it's magic). It even feels sticky when you put your fingers in the jar before you apply the product to your hair. It gives me confidence that this stuff will keep my mane tamed. Few products can pull this off. By accident I ordered the newer EXTREME pomade with Spiced Vanilla scent. Since it's "extreme" I assumed it'll be the same strength as my beloved Extreme Firm Hold one, just with a scent. It is not. The Extreme Spiced Vanilla must be referring to how extreme the FRAGRANCE is, not how the hold should be extreme - because it isn't. It's far weaker and far less sticky than the old "Extreme Firm Hold". Swipe your finger in it and it feels like the usual weak stuff from other companies. The spiced Vanilla scent is ok at first but kinda gross (to me) after a few minutes. It's too strong (especially since I had to had MUCH more product compared to the old Extreme Firm version. I'm kinda confused how this can be so much weaker despite the name suggesting otherwise. I won't be getting any more of their new lines and stick to the old Extreme Firm Hold formula. Note: if you don't need the super strong hold and don't mind the smell, this product is probably fine, though not really special compared to competitors. Since I feel misled by the "Extreme" promise, I'm giving this only 3 stars. Vikings, don't mislead your customers. Even long time fans like me don't like to feel misled and will drop you for this sort of thing. Side notes: medium to kinda firm hold, medium to high shine, value OK but only if you understand it's not as strong as the name suggests, the smell is strong, and there are many alternatives from competitors, sometimes at a lower price point.

great product, great price, love the vanilla scent ^^
