Everything we can answer honestly today.

A shea-based moisturizer built around fragrance from the start, rather than a lotion with scent added at the end. It conditions the skin and leaves a close-wearing scent — the layer between a body product and a cologne.

Warm, clean and woody, with a trace of smoke. The architecture is Vanilla Noir for warmth, Vetiver for earth, Amberwood for depth and Cashmere Musk for softness. It is built to be intimate rather than loud.

It is designed not to. The scent sits close to the skin and is intended to layer underneath a fragrance rather than compete with it. Warm, woody colognes sit most naturally over it.

We do not publish a wear time, because we have not finished testing the final formula and because skin chemistry differs between people. We will publish measured results rather than an estimate.

Not yet. Core° is in final sample development, so the complete ingredient list, net weight and texture are not published. They will be, in full, before orders open.

The Founding Release opens once the formula is approved and stock is confirmed. We are not naming a date or taking payment against an uncertain shipping promise. Price, shipping and availability go to the Founding List first.

You give us an email address and optionally a first name. You receive launch details and first access. Nothing else, and you can leave at any time.

It is designed with a professional, style-conscious man in mind, and the fragrance reflects that. Nothing about the formula restricts who can use it.

The Founding Release price is $45. Orders open once the formula is approved and stock is confirmed. We are not naming a date we cannot keep, and the Founding List is told before anyone else.

USPS Ground Advantage from St. Petersburg, Florida, United States only at launch. We aim to process orders in 1–3 business days, and USPS typically takes about 2–5 business days after that. Shipping is charged at cost and calculated at checkout. There is no free shipping on a single jar.

Thirty days from delivery, provided the jar is unused and unopened. You pay return postage on a change of mind. If the order arrives damaged, incorrect or defective, we replace or refund it in full at our cost.

Only if it is unopened. Once a jar has been opened we cannot verify how it was stored and we will not resell it to someone else, so we cannot take it back. That is a hygiene position rather than a technicality — read the fragrance notes first, and ask us anything before you order.
