great as a styling wax hold is not as strong [SEP] i think it works better as a styling wax it did not stiffen my hair as much as i would have liked but the cream made it a breeze to style the scent is a little strong but it is pleasant i think this product could be used by both men and women though it is obviously intended for men this product is made in england and the graphics are pleasant to look at it it has a quaint victorian vibe about it overall i am pleased with the product but the price could be better
