The Castle Forbes Collection of fine fragrances and gifts for  gentlemen is created in the perfumery at Castle Forbes, Scotland.  They are elegantly packaged in the Forbes clan tartan and carry the Castle Forbes family crest and logo.


Castle Forbes was built in 1815 by the 17th Lord Forbes, Scotland’s premier Lord and Chief of the clan Forbes.

Inspired by the beauty of the countryside, and the plants and flowers growing in the estate, Lord Malcolm Forbes and his wife, Jinny,  have created from their own perfumery in the castle grounds a collection of fragrances, shaving creams,  and oils, which emulate the history of their clan.

Castle Forbes has broken the mould and created a water soluble Pre-Shave.  They have created a non-oil based formulation to protect the skin, and swell the hairs whilst allowing the razor to glide smoothly across the face and over any bumps and imperfections.  An unexpected side effect is that using this Pre-Shave speeds up the whole shaving process!  The essential Oils' real benefits are delivered  in the Castle Forbes Shaving Cream and Castle Forbes Aftershave Balm, so, the Castle Forbes Pre-Shave has been left "unscented" and made with rich Aloe Vera,  Vitamin E, extracts of Citrus and Chamomile for their skin regenerating, soothing, and antiseptic properties.
