Three Flowers was a very popular brilliantine or pomade in the ’50s, an American product (creation of Richard Hudnut) distributed locally by Ed A. Keller & Co.
Top actors of the ’50s — Premiere’s Jose Padilla Jr., LVN’s Mario Montenegro and Sampaguita’s Luis Gonzales — claim ‘Three Flowers keeps my hair well groomed.’
Padilla says, ‘Its masculine fragrance last for hours.’
Montenegro praises its ‘delicate scent’ and ‘makes my hair easier to manage.’
Gonzales says that even before ‘I became a star, always, I’ve used Three Flowers.’ Like Padilla and Montenegro, Gonzales loves its ‘subtle masculine fragrance.’
I remember my father (Leon Dolor) applying Three Flowers on his thick hair every so often, keeping it well groomed, like what the three top actors claim. — RKC
