OUR HISTORY

 

 

Castle Forbes was created from the world's smallest perfumery, located

in the picturesque surroundings of Castle Forbes on the banks of the

River Don in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The castle and 6,000 acre estate

is the ancestral home of the Chief of the Forbes Clan. The perfumery

was originally based in a small dairy building within the grounds and

initially only made bespoke fragrances for private clients.

Our mission was to create a selection of unique scents that captured the

essence of the castle and the surrounding landscapes and, after much

painstaking development work, our carefully crafted range of products

bear the Forbes Family emblem.

 

From such small beginnings, 20 years later, Castle Forbes has now

developed the ultimate range of male grooming products and fine

fragrances which are renowned for their quality and performance. Our

distinctive ethos is born from our passion to use the best that nature can

provide by selecting only the finest quality sustainable Essential Oils

directly from the growers for use in our authentic formulations, our

mission being to bring originality and sophistication to our elite scents.

Using unique, handcrafted formulations with natural ingredients, we are

able to produce shaving products which perform like no other brand and

are free from parabens, colouring, artificial fragrances and are not tested

on animals.
