a note from
THE FOUNDER
Like a lot of guys, my fragrance journey started with Bod and Axe, because that's what I could afford.
Then came Polo Blue, my first upgrade, a real rotation in college, and a big boy job in Austin at 21 that let me start a real collection. The bottles got better, the price tags got bigger, but for some reason the longevity always seemed to stay the same.
So I went looking for a fix, and that's when I found layering. A cream to hold it, an oil to keep it close, the fragrance on top.
That's OURCHIVED. The fix I wish I'd found a lot earlier in life.
