Eau de Portugal hair tonic

Hello everyone!

I have, for quite a while, been using DR Harris Eau de Portugal (with oil) hair tonic, and like it very much.
I also tried Pashana, but wasn't as keen.

I have just spotted that Taylor of Old Bond Street does EdP too.

How does this compare?

Are there any others that I should consider?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ian. Wow, I was unaware Taylor of Old Bond Street made a EdP hair lotion. I should be paying more attention I suppose. If you have not tried Pinaud EdP you are truly missing something. It does not contain oil which for me is a good thing. The scent however is all old school and quite potent. Much better I thought than Pashana. Pashana is a good tonic but their star is Blue Orchid for me. The Pinaud is good stuff that can double as an aftershave.

+1 on Pinaud EdP I am loving it!!!

I don't use anything on my hair but I do use the Pinaud brand as an aftershave and it is a good one.

Thanks for the input. The Pinaud sounds interesting, but the lack of oil would be a problem for me (very dry hair since I turned 45ish).
I may give the Taylor's a whirl if nobody pipes up with any negative comments about it.
I have tried the Blue Orchid (courtesy of my local barber, post cut) and didn't like it at all. Each to their own, however...

I ordered some of the Taylor's EdP. Here is a brief comparison with DR Harris EdP.
Taylor's: orange.
Harris: lemon.
In more detail...
Whereas Harris's EdP has strong lemon scents, Taylor's is definitely orange - orange scents and a faint orange colour.
Taylor's is sharper and is perhaps a little longer lasting (both fade relatively rapidly).
They are probably comparable in terms of oil content. If anything the Harris may be a tad oilier.
Which is better? I think I prefer the sharpness of the Harris's. My wife prefers the smoothness of the Taylor's.
Looks like I shall be alternating between them.
I'll report back again if my perceptions of them change over time.
