Castle Forbes

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. The 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, a 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. Their distinctive ethos is born from a 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 authentic formulations, the mission being to bring originality and sophistication to their elite scents. Using unique, handcrafted formulations with natural ingredients, they are able to produce shaving products which perform like no other brand and are free from parabens, coloring, artificial fragrances and are not tested on animals.
