Caswell-Massey

Company Info

Founded in 1752 by Scottish immigrant Dr. William Hunter, Caswell-Massey is a long-time purveyor of luxury grooming products and fragrances. With a pedigree going back to the Colonial era, Caswell-Massey is one of the nation's oldest apothecaries and has supplied grooming products and scents to generations of Americans, including Presidents and famous Captains of Industry.

Famous Patrons

As befits a company with such remarkable longevity Caswell-Massey has, over the centuries, acquired a number of famous patrons. Three Presidents have been reported to use Caswell-Massey products, including George Washington, who was known to enjoy the fragrantly orange Number Six, John F. Kennedy, a fan of the bracing Jockey Club, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, who chose the famous Almond Soap as an official White House soap. Other famous patrons include the legendary actor John Barrymore and the incomparable Cole Porter, both vocal supporters of the richly amber Tricorn.

Product Info

Fragrances

  • Colognes: Caswell-Massey's colognes are the signature items in their Men's collection. Fragrances like the deep neroli Number Six, the powdery amber and sandalwood Tricorn, the spicy and tangy Lime, the warm and soapy Sandalwood, the self-explanatory Verbena, and the savage Aura of Patchouli have been classics of Men's fragrances for decades, sometimes centuries. Other more recent entries include Newport, a bright and bracing oceanic scent and Greenbriar, the links-inspired collection of green and wood notes.

Shaving Supplies

  • Shave Soaps: From the classic collection only the Greenbriar is available as a shaving soap. The soap is available as a single 3.5 oz puck or a 3.5 oz. puck in a lidded wooden bowl. In the 1752 collection both the Almond and the Sandalwood are available as shaving soaps. These soaps are also 3.5 oz. and come either as single pucks or in dark wood-covered bowls. The 1752 soaps are said to be all-vegetable and contain no ingredients that have been tested on animals. Caswell-Massey also produces a 3 oz. puck of soap that comes in a hard plastic screw-top container for traveling.

  • Shave Creams From the classic collection only Greenbriar is available as a shaving cream. This is available in either a 3.5 oz. tube or a 8.0 oz. tub. As with the shaving soaps, the 1752 collection includes both Almond and Sandalwood scents. These are also available in tubes or tubs.
  • Aftershave Splashes: Number Six, Greenbriar, Jockey Club, Tricorn, Lime, Verbena, Patchouli, and Newport are available as aftershave splashes. These splashes come in the traditional Caswell-Massey 3 oz. glass bottles.
  • Aftershave Balms: From the Classic collection only Greenbriar is available as a balm, in a 50 ml glass bottle. In the 1752 collection both Almond and Sandalwood balms are available. These balms are 75 ml and come in plastic bottles.
  • Shaving Tools: Caswell-Massey offers a large range of shaving tools, including razor handles for the popular Fusion and Mach 3 cartridge system, badger shaving brushes, including both tube and turnback travel brushes, and complete shaving sets, matching together razor, brush, and stand.

Bath Requisites

  • Soap: A legendary artisan soap-maker, Caswell-Massey produces a wide range of triple-milled, vegetable-based soaps in their signature Men's fragrances. These soaps are sold in elegantly boxed three-packs of 5.8 oz. bars. Newport is available as a shower soap-on-a-rope, packaged in a special nautically-themed tin. Special selections of soaps and variety packs are also available, including the beloved Presidential Collection, a three-pack containing soaps in the three scents purported to be used by Presidents Washington, Kennedy, and Eisenhower.

  • Shower Gels: Responding to changes in the Men's grooming market Caswell-Massey now also produces shower gels in their Sandalwood and Newport fragrances.

As Distributor

Within the last two years, Caswell-Massey has become the distributor for a number of famous European and Caribbean luxury brands. These include the famous Claus Porto soaps from Portugal, the legendary French Roger et Gallet brand of soaps, the well-respected Musgo Real collection of Men's grooming products, also from Portugal, and the long-lived Michaelson's and St. Thomas Bay Rums.
