Core° Shea Butter Cologne
Moisture. Scent. Presence.

Designed to layer beneath a cologne rather than compete with it. We publish no claim about how long it lasts on skin until the final formula is tested.
How to use
Thirty seconds, after the shower.
- 01Start with warm skin. Straight out of the shower, towel-dry but not bone dry.
- 02Work in a small amount. Chest, forearms, back of the neck — where you would normally place fragrance.
- 03Let it settle, then dress. Cologne goes over the top if you wear one.

Texture
We will show you the texture, not describe it.
A butter is judged on how it feels going on and what it leaves behind, and that is almost impossible to convey in writing. Rather than reach for adjectives we cannot yet stand behind, we are waiting until there is a final sample to film. The Founding List sees it first.
Tester reviews
No reviews yet, because nobody has used it yet.
Core° has not shipped, so there is nothing honest to put here. When the first production run goes out, part of it goes to testers asked for a candid opinion — including an unflattering one — and those reviews appear on this page whether or not they are glowing.
We will not be buying reviews, writing them ourselves, or filling this space with stock photography of people who have never touched the product.
