- Backordered, shipping soon
The aftershave that smells like quiet confidence. Lightweight, fast-absorbing, zero grease.
This is skincare that doesn't announce itself. A lightweight face lotion built for post-shave skin, with a scent profile that's earned the description "super manly but in a way that isn't unattractively manly." Bergamot opens bright and clean. Bay leaf and cedarwood settle into something warm and grounded. Tobacco rounds it out with depth that lingers without overwhelming. It's sophisticated without trying. And it actually takes care of your skin while it's at it.
"Most men's products smell like they're trying too hard. I wanted something sophisticated, not aggressive. The tobacco and bay leaf blend has this quiet confidence. It doesn't announce itself when you walk in a room. It just lingers. And the formula actually does something for your skin, not just mask it."
โ Emily Whitlock, Co-Founder & Formulator
Why You'll Love It
- Absorbs Like It Means It: This lotion disappears into your skin faster than you can say "greasy residue." Because there is none. Just hydrated, comfortable skin that doesn't shine like a glazed donut.
- Post-Shave Relief: Organic aloe vera and witch hazel calm freshly shaved skin. Allantoin protects and soothes. No burn, no sting, no drama.
- A Scent Worth Noticing: Bergamot, bay leaf, cedarwood, and tobacco. The kind of scent that makes people lean in and ask what you're wearing. Several of our customers report unsolicited compliments. Take that as you will.
- Lightweight Nutrition: Organic apricot kernel oil, grape seed oil, and vitamin E deliver real moisture without weight. Your face gets fed. Nobody knows but you.
The Ritual
Apply a small amount to clean skin after shaving, morning and evening. A little goes a long way. Works for all skin types, including sensitive. For the complete experience, layer over our Tobacco and Bay Leaf Beard Oil for scent that actually lasts.

Q: Will this irritate my sensitive skin?
A: It's specifically formulated not to. The <a href="/blogs/ingredients/organic-aloe-vera-juice">aloe vera</a> and witch hazel are soothing, not stripping. The formula is free of harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Trevor, who has <a href="/blogs/ingredients/phthalate-free-fragrance-oil">fragrance</a> allergies and sensitive skin, calls it "very gentle" with "great <a href="/blogs/ingredients/phthalate-free-fragrance-oil">fragrance</a>." That's the balance we were going for.
Q: Is it greasy? I hate greasy.
A: Zero grease. This lotion absorbs fast and leaves nothing behind but hydrated skin. Richard specifically mentions the "creamy, non-greasy feel" as why it's his favorite. You won't look shiny. You'll just look like you take care of yourself.
Q: How strong is the scent? Does it last?
A: The scent is noticeable but not aggressive. It lingers without announcing itself from across the room. If you want more staying power, layer it with the matching Tobacco and Bay Leaf Beard Oil.
