The Castle Forbes perfume factory originated from the world's smallest perfumery, idyllically nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Castle Forbes in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The castle and its 6,000-hectare estate date back to 1815 and serve as the headquarters of the long-established family business. Originally housed in a small dairy building on the property, the perfumery initially focused solely on the production of bespoke fragrances for private clients.
Castle Forbes pursues the vision of creating a collection of unique fragrances that capture the essence of the castle and the surrounding landscapes. The Forbes Clan crest, featuring an authentic stag head, proudly adorns the attractive bottles and other items.
Castle Forbes' product range now includes a fine selection of high-quality and effective care products and fragrances for the discerning gentleman.
The distinctive ethos of these characterful colognes stems from a passion for producing only the finest natural products, using only the highest quality sustainable essential oils directly from the producer.
This results in stylish and original elite fragrances that embody the spirit of the Scottish Highlands. The shaving products are also based on unique, handcrafted formulations and natural ingredients. Naturally, they are free from parabens, dyes, and artificial fragrances. Since they are not tested on animals, they are also suitable for vegans.
