Caswell-massey

Founded in 1752 by Dr. William Hunter, Caswell-Massey is America’s oldest consumer brand and the fourth-oldest continuously operating company in the nation. Known as “America’s Original Soap and Fragrance Company,” it embodies a legacy of innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.

The brand’s iconic fragrance, Number Six Eau de Parfum, debuted in 1772, blending fresh citrus with warm musk, civet, and ambergris to create a bold yet refined scent that captured the spirit of a young America. The fragrance gained historical significance when George Washington purchased it for his personal use in 1781, cementing its place as a legendary piece of American heritage.
