Our Company's Commitment ~ Quality Products ~ Yesterday, Today & Forever

CASWELL-MASSEY WAS ORIGINALLY FOUNDED IN 1752 by a Scottish doctor, Dr. William Hunter, who may qualify as the most adventurous of our founding fathers. Apart from his willingness to travel to an unknown land at age eighteen to make his way as a new-world doctor—and his wild success doing so—he is also notably credited with creating the first American Fragrance, sold in our collection today as “Number Six.”

WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR CUSTOMERS. We strive for longevity and notoriety across generations—more than we aspire to be part of the latest trend. We are a family-owned business with a rich American heritage dating back to 1752. And we know that while today we are the driving force of Caswell-Massey, we are only the stewards of this great American brand, carrying it forward into the future for the next three centuries.

WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS. We know that the fragrance of Caswell-Massey perfumes, colognes, soaps and our many wonderful products are embedded in the scent memories of so many of our customers. Our most famous scents may remind our customers of their long-lost grandfather, a loved one who may not be nearby, or maybe the person they see every day and greet at home each evening—and we take these relationships with our products very seriously. And when we create new products and new scents, we strive to make remarkable products, knowing that we are not just creating scents and soaps—for many, these scents will go on to become great memories, as well.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO STAY IN BUSINESS FOR THREE CENTURIES?

Only a handful of companies in the world can answer this question from experience; Caswell-Massey is proud to be in this rarified crowd. From our early founding in Newport, Rhode Island by Dr. Hunter, to the legendary products created under the guidance of the Hazard and Caswell Families, to our glory years in New York City under the enthusiastic leadership of the Taylor Brothers, our history and our future is rooted in quality, innovation, curiosity, and perseverance—which is to say that we are truly an American Original.
