Imperial Dominion Firmgum – medium-firm hold meets a luxurious fragrance composition

Handmade pomade by Carsten Sommer with firm hold (between medium and strong) – designed for maximum control, silky shine and an opulent scent of jasmine, saffron, amberwood and cedarwood. Made in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The Imperial Dominion Firmgum is a handcrafted homebrew pomade from Germany that combines reliable hold with exceptional fragrance artistry. Created by pomade enthusiast Carsten Sommer, it represents premium quality, traditional ingredients and a true passion for classic hairstyling.

With its firm hold – perfectly balanced between medium and strong – and a formula based on petrolatum, lanolin, beeswax, coconut oil, microcrystalline wax and jojoba, it provides dependable control even for thick, stubborn or curly hair. Classic styles such as pompadours, slick backs or structured looks can be shaped with precision and hold throughout the day.

Texture and Application

The pomade features a firm yet workable consistency. It can be easily scooped with a bit of pressure or slight warming, spreads smoothly between the hands and distributes evenly through the hair. The result is a silky shine combined with strong control.

Conditioning Properties

Thanks to ingredients like lanolin, jojoba and coconut oil, the hair is not only styled but also nourished and moisturized. This helps maintain softness and prevents the hair from drying out, even with regular use.

Fragrance Profile:

The scent is identical to the Hard variant and represents the essence of luxury. A refined composition of jasmine and saffron opens the fragrance, followed by warm, sensual accords. The base of amberwood and elegant cedarwood adds depth and sophistication. The difference lies not in the scent, but purely in the level of hold.

The Effect

This pomade provides long-lasting hold while keeping the hair flexible enough for restyling. It tames even demanding hair types and delivers defined, controlled styles. According to the manufacturer, it should wash out relatively easily and leave the hair feeling well-groomed.

Application:

Scoop a small amount using your fingernail or slightly warm the pomade if needed. Rub between your palms and apply evenly to dry or slightly damp hair. Style as desired using a comb or brush.
