from sunny Italy comes a great hair and scalp product. this is a solidified "brillantina" A.K.A. "pomade"....true lavender scent,nothing like the old green capped yardley brilliantine of the 1960's,but an equal in quality to todays yardley brilliantine....the lavender scent is lighter,and different.lavender oils from italy,france,bulgaria.england, oregon and california all have unique properties and scents...this is a very fine lavender,but different than yardleys...I admit,I have no idea how it works to shine your hair or nourish it....I shave my head every 2 days and I use brilliantines,liquid and solid,to moisturize and condition my scalp...this linetti is a nice product that penetrates rapidly and leaves a light lavender scent...the little green plastic box has replaced the old italian tin,and inside the box is a removable white plastic tub that holds the product...first class,but that old italian tin was more artistic...a great pomade...
