Provenance
Donor 0207 is forty-seven, a filmmaker with three features to his name. The arrangement began in 2020 and has never once run to schedule.
He arrives when he arrives. Collections are irregular, quantities vary, and we have twice held an empty release window rather than fill it from another donor. This is the arrangement we have accepted, and No. 03 exists on those terms or not at all.
Method
Rested ninety days in oak before compounding — the only preparation we mature. Blended into the heaviest base in the collection, at 22% butter. Filled into flask glass at the donor’s request.
Application
Evening. Warm a small quantity between the fingertips until it turns clear, then press into dry areas: cheekbones, jaw, the sides of the nose.
Heavy. Most customers use it three nights a week rather than seven.
Certificate of provenance
Batch AU-0207 is traceable to one donor, one collection and one compounding. Donor consent is held in writing, renewable, and terminable by the donor at any time without notice.

Customer reviews
Took about three weeks before I noticed anything, then the difference in texture was obvious. Too rich for summer.
The only balm I have found that does not sit on top of the skin all night.
