Pine + Clementine
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
Pine + Clementine is a fresh fragrance that elegantly bridges the Citrus and Green subfamilies. Many artisans attempt this pairing, but few achieve this level of balance, depth, and intensity. It opens with a mouthwatering burst of clementine that evokes the sparkle of a freshly cracked peel, while petitgrain grounds the composition with an earthy, herbaceous edge. A richly green pine syrup anchors the blend, accented by a vivid spike of fresh pine needles that makes the fragrance feel vibrantly alive. The result is a masculine, energetic scent, sweet yet outdoorsy and natural, that is easy to wear in almost any context, though feels especially at home in casual settings and at play.

Base Description
The Happy Chap soap base harnesses hydrolyzed silk and glycerin to deliver exceptional slickness, while castor oil enhances creaminess and lather density. A rich triad of kokum butter, mango butter, and jojoba oil functions as potent emollients, helping to soften and condition the skin. Combined with the backbone ingredients of stearic acid and tallow, the result is a deeply luxurious, creamy lather with outstanding density, cushion, and stability, and truly best-in-class glide. This is a high-performance soap base designed for the experienced shaver who appreciates uncompromising quality.
