★★★★★“The best shampoo! It cleans my long hair well and smells wonderful!”Andrew C. · Verified buyer
Cleans thoroughly without drying sulfate-free base that still gets a real lather
No residue, no wax, no buildup the reason most shampoo bars fail — not this one
Hair is easier to style texture and body instead of a coating
Whisky antioxidants polyphenols and ellagic acid from oak-aged single malt
100+ washes per bar replaces two to three bottles of liquid shampoo
Description
A whisky-infused shampoo bar for men who want their hair care to work as hard as they do.
Hamish & Co bars are made with single malt Scotch whisky — not for the flavor, but because whisky is rich in antioxidants, ellagic acid, and amino acids that strengthen hair and protect it from environmental damage. Combined with Longsheng rice water, it's a shampoo bar built for function, not fragrance marketing.
Works on every hair type and scalp. Cleans thoroughly without drying. Leaves hair feeling thicker, cleaner, and easier to style. No residue, no wax, no product buildup.
Scent: Charred Patchouli — earthy, spicy, and slightly sweet with hints of lemon, orange, ginger, lavender, and cedar. Smoky and masculine.
What it feels like: Strong lather. Rinses fast and clean. Hair dries with texture and grip — better for styling than most liquid shampoos.
First time using a shampoo bar? Give it 2–3 washes. Your hair is adjusting from the silicones and sulfates in liquid products.
1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
2. Rub the bar between your palms or directly onto your scalp to build a lather.
3. Work the lather through roots and mid-lengths, then smooth down to ends.
4. Rinse completely with cool water to seal the cuticle.
5. Follow with the matching conditioner bar on mid-lengths and ends.
6. Store on a bamboo holder or dry surface between uses.

“I’ve now handed out five sample sets that I received at the trade show, ( premiere) and every single person has gotten back to me with positive feedback. Not one complaint.
The shampoo, conditioner, and exfoliating scrub were all well received, with people commenting on how clean their hair felt, how soft it was afterward, and how much they enjoyed the products overall.
As for me, I’ve been using the Aged Sandalwood Shampoo and Conditioner Bars myself, and I absolutely love them. My hair feels incredibly clean, soft, and healthy without being weighed down. I can’t believe my hair stays up in this Florida humidity throughout the day when I work outside constantly for a living. Considering I use styling paste every day, I’m impressed by how well the shampoo cleans my hair while still leaving it feeling nourished. I’m on two weeks straight washing my hair every single day and my color is stain and I’m a redhead.
When every tester comes back happy and you’re loving the products yourself, that’s a pretty good sign you’ve found something special.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From both the testers and me. In fact, I have to go to sprouts and buy some blonde and send it to New York for my niece to try.💫💥 love the background of the story and I’m obsessed. I’ve even made TikTok‘s about it.
I have naturally curly,thick hair.My hair drinks conditioner!I am also a hairdresser for 23 years,and My personal experience with this product,is gives my hair a weightless feel, but plenty of condition and shine!The dry shamphoo is also one of the best of tried,and blows puff me,and big sexy dry shamphoo to shame!I will continue to purchase not only the shamphoo and conditioner, but i am obsessed with the bodywash as well.It left my whole bathroom smell amazing,and makes you feel super clean,and has a natural exfoliate.
I’m really impressed with the VIORI Rice Water Protein solid shampoo. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but it turned out to be a great find. It lathers beautifully, cleanses the scalp gently without drying out my hair, and leaves it feeling fresh and light.
What I love most is how my hair looks after using it—more voluminous, soft, and it stays clean longer, which is a big plus for oily hair. The compact solid format is also super convenient and lasts a long time, making it perfect for travel.
Overall, it’s a great balance of effective care, natural ingredients, and practicality. Definitely something I’ll keep using!
The bars lathered up so nicely. My hair is soft not stripped and the conditioner did not leave my hair flat and greasy. I am 63 with full gray hair. It did wonders!
AMAZING PRODUCT!! My hair was thinning and suffering so much breakage! Viori has my hair so thick and healthy, I cannot thank them enough! Especially being 4C friendly, the Conditioner bar detangles my hair so beautifully and not to mention the juicy curls!!! ✨
I used to dread Wash Day, Now it’s my favorite time of the week💦
Thank you Viori!
I was first introduced to this shampoo and conditioner by my daughter she went to a convention in Las Vegas and she gave me a sample that was about 5 months ago and I have not used regular shampoo since my hair was thinning because of my age I'm 61 it was in bad condition and I cannot tell you how good this product is and how amazing and healthy my hair is now thank you so much for making such a quality product
I used to spend a LOT of money on premium hair care, but once I started using Viori I couldn’t go back. I tried to finish the bottles I had but my hair felt dry and frizzy. I’ve used Viori exclusively for 5+ years. I love the Tea Tree Oil, with Coconut and Peach close seconds.
My recommendation- try this. And buy twice as many shampoo bars as conditioner (the conditioner lasts forever)
Believe it or not, I've been a viori user for 5 years and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE PRODUCTS! it gives my hair volume and style, and it leave my hair soft and silky smooth to the touch. The scent is wonderful, I also love the fact that you can take a quiz to match you to the best product for your hair. Thank you to the Yao tribe for creating such wonderful products while telling your story! 🥰
Just WOW. Incredibly rich lather. it suds up so well! im hooked after just one use! instant customer for life!!!! I've never experienced a shampoo that requires so little yet does so much! thank you for such an amazing product! <3 love
GAME CHANGER! The Hidden Waterfall in musk scent is an absolute dream. Made exclusively with longsheng rice water formula you can experience luxurious locks at home. I loved how sudsy the shampoo bar is, truly less is more here folks! The conditioner is smooth and smells devine! Last but certainly not least, the bamboo holder is perfect and lovely as decor on the side of the tub.
I love how it makes my hair feel soft and shiny. I got my sister the same shampoo and conditioner and she loves it too.. we will both be using this shampoo and conditioner again thank you.
This soap-shampoo is amazing! 😍 It smells absolutely delicious, and after washing, hair feels so light and soft. Such a wonderful feeling of cleanliness and smoothness — hair looks great and is easy to comb. I will definitely buy it again!
I started to let my gray hair grow out and at first I hated the brassy stringy hair. I found your bar and absolutely love it! No brassy, nice soft hair. No thinning as I was experiencing either. In the sunlight my gray even shines. No itchy scalp, I wash my hair every morning and no dryness. I recommend your bar to many who inquire about my hair. Thank you for a great product! That actually works!!
I love this product so much! My hair has never felt soft to her or grown nearly as fast as it has since I’ve Been using Viori! I have not bought a single bottle of shampoo and conditioner in over a year! They just don’t do the trick anymore. I don’t think I’ll ever go back!
I used to put off washing my hair for as long as possible, shampoo always dryer my hair out and conditioner made it unmanageable. But truly this shampoo changed that I now enjoy my hair when it’s freshly washed and silky smooth as well as lived in and a little oily it changed my relationship with my hair and my routine. I suggest if you are considering it try it one set of bars lasts me over a year and I enjoy supporting small businesses that impact small communities. Thanks for the great products.
My hair used to break off at the ends before it could make it past my shoulders. Two years ago now I made the switch to Viori products and haven’t looked back. I love all of this company’s products and cannot wait to try more.
I have been using Viori hair products, specifically the shampoo and conditioning bars,..for approximately four years now. My hair has changed dramatically, as you can see in my before-and-after photos. It is thicker, I’ve regained growth, and it has never been this naturally healthy in my life.
On the left is before, when I regularly straightened my hair because I wasn’t happy with its damaged texture. On the right is after using Viori. 100% my natural texture, with no blow dryer or styling tools. I simply air-dry and go.
I am forever thankful to Viori for my full head of luscious hair at age 55.
I've been using the Hidden Waterfall shampoo & conditioner bars (sweet musk scent) for over a year now and I love the smell and how they make my hair feel. I've been growing my hair out and these products definitely help strengthen the hairs and keep them soft and shiny.
Hidden Waterfall is the perfect fragrance
for a sensuous & relaxing bath. I tried both the shampoo and conditioning bar and they are gentle on my hair and leave it soft and lustrous! I then tried the bath bar and love it as well, and so I just had to get the bamboo holders to store them. All of these are just great products and I gladly recommend to anyone curious, to just try them and see for yourself!
So I love how woodsy this smells, it's convenient if I ever need to travel anywhere and it works well for my hair type. I will probably mix and match since I do need a tiny but more conditioning personally but they allow you to buy separately so definitely will do in the future (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Love the smell the way it make gaur smell it also has basically almost stopped all my hair from shedding and falling out I actually really love this product would recommend it anyone that has thinng hair
I believe this charred patchouli is my favorite so far!!! I’ve tried the hidden waterfall and sandalwood. But this one I LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is my hair today right after getting out of the shower. This is definitely not for men only! Love the scent, the leather and softness of the conditioner💜 If you love the patchouli scent with a softer added scent, you will LOVE THIS!
A bottle of shampoo is roughly 80% water. The rest is detergent, silicone and the smell you picked it for.
0 1
The detergent underneath
Behind the branding, most men's shampoo runs on the same sulfate as everything else. It strips well, which is not the same as cleaning well.
0 2
Silicone standing in for condition
A coating makes hair feel smooth immediately and builds up over weeks. Hair goes limp and will not hold a style, and washing more only adds more.
0 3
Bars that turned you off bars
Soap-based shampoo bars react with hard water and leave a waxy film. One bad experience is usually enough for people to write off the whole category.
THE ANSWER
Built for what it does, not what it smells like.
The Men's Patchouli Shampoo Bar runs on single malt Scotch and Longsheng rice water, with nothing in it as filler.
Whisky is in the formula because oak ageing loads it with polyphenols and ellagic acid — antioxidants studied for limiting oxidative damage to the hair fibre — plus amino acids from malted barley. Longsheng rice water carries inositol and fermentation amino acids into the strand, and hydrolyzed rice protein reinforces it from the inside. The cleansing base is a mild coconut-derived syndet, not soap, so it lathers properly and rinses clean in hard water instead of leaving the film that puts men off bars for good. No sulfates, no parabens, no silicone. Hair comes out cleaner, feels thicker, and takes a style more easily because there is nothing sitting on it.
Single malt Scotch picks up polyphenols and ellagic acid from the oak it ages in — the same class of antioxidant compounds studied for their ability to limit oxidative damage to the hair fibre from UV and pollution. It also contributes amino acids from the malted barley. It is a real functional ingredient at the level it is used, not a marketing story, though it is one input among several rather than the thing doing all the work.
A Bar That Does Not Behave Like Soap
Most bar shampoos are saponified oils — soap — which react with calcium and magnesium in hard water to leave the waxy film that makes men give up on them after a week. This is a syndet bar built on Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate. It does not precipitate in hard water, so it rinses out clean and hair dries with its own texture instead of a coating.
Protein That Gets Inside
Most rice water proteins are too large to enter the hair shaft — at 13,000–30,000 Daltons they sit on the surface and rinse away. Hydrolyzed Rice Protein is broken down to peptides below ~1,000 Daltons, small enough to reach the cortex, where research indicates they deposit preferentially on compromised areas, improving tensile strength and reducing breakage under combing stress. The result is a strand that bends without snapping — not a coating, but internal reinforcement.
Sulfate-Free Cleansing Preserves Moisture
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a mild, coconut-derived cleanser that lifts sebum and product residue without the aggressive delipidation associated with sulfate surfactants. On porous or compromised hair, that difference shows up as less post-wash dryness and less cuticle roughening — the strand is cleaned without also being stripped of the lipids that keep it flexible.
From the rice terraces of Longsheng to your shower — the most powerful, clean haircare you have ever used.

FAQ
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY.
The formula is built for how most men wash — daily or near-daily, fast, often with hard water — and the scent is the main difference beyond that. Hair is hair. Plenty of women buy these bars for the scent, and nothing about the formula makes that a bad idea.
Charred patchouli — earthy, smoky and slightly sweet, with lemon, orange, ginger, lavender and cedar in it. It is the boldest scent in the men's line. If you want something quieter, the sandalwood bar is the one.
Sixty to eighty washes for most men, which works out to two to three bottles of liquid shampoo. Short hair gets more. The single biggest factor is whether it dries out between washes — keep it off the shower floor and on a holder.
No. This is a syndet bar, not a soap bar. Soap bars react with hard water to leave a film — that is the experience most people mean when they say shampoo bars did not work for them. This one rinses clean.
Yes, single malt Scotch. It is in there for the polyphenols and amino acids it picks up from oak ageing, not for novelty. It does not make the bar smell like a distillery and there is no alcohol effect on the scalp.
You can, and plenty of guys do. It cleans a beard without stripping it. Follow with the conditioner bar if your beard is coarse — that is where the softening actually happens.
If your hair is short and you have no complaints, probably not. If it feels rough, tangles, or you are colour-treated or thinning, the conditioner is doing real work on the mid-lengths and ends.
It is the strongest of the three, and it settles down considerably once hair is dry. It is a scent on your hair, not a fragrance you are wearing all day.
Yes. It cleans without stripping, which is what coarse and curly hair needs most. Use the conditioner as well — coarse hair benefits from it more than fine hair does.
