Founders Reserve is the most refined member of the Founders Series—a rich, composed fragrance designed around elegance. Warm vanilla bourbon and heliotrope meet decadent leather and black amber before settling into cedar woods, bourbon-inspired richness, and exotic oak musk. It is smooth and slightly sweet, but the woods, leather, and musk keep the fragrance grounded and unmistakably masculine.

This bar is handcrafted in small batches in the USA using our Founders Recipe, a carefully balanced cold process formulation built around oils and butters. Coconut oil provides the cleansing power and abundant bubbles, while olive oil contributes a softer, conditioning character to the lather. Palm oil gives the bar structure and staying power, while sweet almond oil and mango butter bring a richer, smoother quality to the finished soap. Castor oil helps produce the dense, creamy foam that gives a well-made cold process bar its unmistakable feel.

Oat powder provides gentle physical exfoliation, helping to smooth rough skin while adding a subtle, natural texture to the lather. Kaolin clay contributes additional slip and a silky feel during the wash, while the sugar incorporated into the recipe helps encourage a fuller, more abundant lather.

The result is a bar that feels every bit as considered as its name suggests: creamy, substantial, deeply aromatic, and exceptionally satisfying to use.

Founders Reserve isn’t trying to smell like everyone else. It’s warm woods, leather, bourbon, and understated confidence—the kind of soap that doesn’t need to introduce itself twice.
