Finding an unscented beard balm wasn't easy, but this was exactly what I was hoping for. After ordering one to try, I quickly ordered two more to stock up (and get some scented samples, just to see what those were about). Hold is perfect and never sticky or stiff, which was a concern. Just enough to tame the crazy away. The beeswax smell is subtle and lovely and definitely passes the test for my lady friend. If she likes it, I love it!
