In 1996 the former dairy beside Castle Forbes was converted into the world’s smallest perfumery to accommodate Lady Forbes’ passion for scents and essential oils which she uses to complement her home.

With the help of family friend and perfumer Andrew French, and using only the finest natural oils in the classical manner of “Haute Parfumerie”, the Castle Forbes Collection has evolved into an exclusive range of top-quality fragrances. Now it includes eau de parfums for ladies and eau de toilettes, shaving creams, pre- and after-shaves for men, as well as linen sprays, soaps and other gift items based on themes from within the castle itself.

All the fragrance products are elegantly packaged in Forbes tartan and carry the family crest and motto “Grace me Guide”. The original fragrance for ladies, “Chatelaine”, contains genet absolut the pure extract of the flower of the broom plant which is the Forbes clan’s cap badge.
