Pulp + Petal
Happy Chap
Happy Chap was founded in 2024 by Kyle Olson in Los Angeles, where he drew on his background in chemistry and entrepreneurial drive to build the brand from his garage. Kyle’s vision is to provide shaving products that equip and inspire men to be their best as husbands, fathers, brothers, and friends. His shave soap base is uncompromisingly focused on high-quality, skin-beneficial ingredients, and for his fragrances he collaborates with a local perfumer-trained friend to create distinctive, thoughtfully composed scents. Since launch, he has released a rapid succession of standout fragrances and is quickly establishing Happy Chap as a serious, up-and-coming artisan men’s grooming brand.
Scent Description
Pulp + Petal feels like Happy Chap bottled a tropical afternoon and didn’t bother to hide the grin. The theme is loud and clear from the first hit: sunshine, warm air, and the kind of carefree sweetness that belongs near sand, saltwater, and a drink with a little umbrella in it. This is not a scent that tiptoes in. It arrives bright, juicy, and immediately legible, yet it never gets rough around the edges. The blend is smooth, polished, and intentionally fun.
Passionfruit takes the lead, vivid and mouthwatering, with passionflower adding a soft, floral lift that keeps the fruit from turning syrupy. Pineapple comes in next, adding a tangy snap that reads more “fresh-squeezed” than candied, while coconut cream settles underneath as a gentle, velvety base note that rounds the whole thing out. The effect is a tropical cocktail accord: upbeat, sweet, and easy to wear when the vibe is casual. In a buttoned-up office it may feel a touch too playful, but on a beach day, a summer weekend, or a night at the tiki bar, it’s exactly the point.
