Caswell-Massey is America's oldest apothecary, tracing its lineage to 1752 in Newport, Rhode Island, a heritage stretching back before the American Revolution. The house's fragrance line preserves the classical apothecary approach: single-note soliflores (Damask Rose, Lavender), heritage colognes (Jockey Club), and a handful of modern niche compositions. The 21 live pieces on Scendira average .09 and cover Fresh (7), Floral (5) and Woody (1). Prices span $14-$200 (average $83). Standout live pieces: Damask Rose Signature Scent ($120,.00, fresh rose petals with a hint of citrus), Lavender ($125,.50, fresh lavender sachet with light herbal snap), Jockey Club ($74.99,.28, clean bergamot and green florals with powdery musk), Marem ($40,.28, bright rose tea with red fruit tang) and OAIRE ($40,.27, fresh herbs, citrus, and suede warmth). Caswell-Massey is the honest answer to "American heritage niche with classical apothecary DNA."
