Bound in the Pages of History… Discover a New Chapter in the Captain’s Remarkable Story

A concealed compartment.

A cherished book.

A mystery hidden for over a century.

Journals, remedies, rare oils and precious perfumes; since its remarkable discovery in a house sale some 15 years ago, the battered trunk that accompanied Captain Fawcett on his many voyages around the world has yielded wonders beyond compare. Yet only now has its most intriguing secret come to light…

A secret mechanism clicked, a hidden panel slid open.

Inside, a well-worn volume, its leaves hollowed with the utmost precision, guarding a precious vessel unseen for over a century. Captain Fawcett’s Original Eau de Parfum: a British-made men’s fragrance of magnificent distinction.

A distillation of distant journeys and untold tales, this heritage grooming treasure has been released at last from the very pages of history.

Now, this most distinguished fougère fragrance, preserved through time, returns newly attired in a finely reimagined glass flacon. It opens with the dashing brightness of Bergamot and Mandarin, rising through green Coriander and spiced Cardamom before settling into the warmth of Sandalwood, Moss and a hint of Vanilla, a timeless yet delightfully modern composition. Elegant, magnetic, unforgettable.

For barbers and discerning gentlemen alike, Captain Fawcett’s Original Eau de Parfum is the signature of self-assured style, a luxury men’s scent marking refined taste, bold spirit and impeccable classic men’s fragrance craftsmanship.

The first 1,000 bottles will include an exclusive enamel badge bearing the Captain’s monogram in burnished gold on conker brown, individually numbered and signed, a collector’s salute to British artistry and tradition.

A fragrance born of discovery

Since the rediscovery of Captain Fawcett’s famed long-lost travelling trunk, each artefact has revealed fragments of his extraordinary life. But perchance none so evocative as this: a cloth-bound herbarium, The Flowers of the Field, whose carefully hollowed pages guarded a small glass vessel unseen since the Captain’s mysterious disappearance more than a century ago.

Inspired by the Captain’s own meticulously handwritten field notes, his Original Eau de Parfum has been faithfully recreated and refined for today, a British perfume of quiet confidence and rich complexity.

An extraordinary history told through scent, a fougère revived for a new generation, steeped in tradition yet gilded with modern sophistication, a true gourmand fougère blending warm Vanilla with the polish of heritage grooming craft.

What exactly is a Fougère?

The term fougère (French for fern) refers to one of perfumery’s most enduring fragrance families. First defined by the legendary House of Houbigant in the late 19th century, it remains the foundation of classic men’s fragrance: bright citrus top notes, aromatic herbs and spices at the heart, and grounding woods, moss and coumarin at the base.

Captain Fawcett’s Original Eau de Parfum pays tribute to that gentlemanly archetype while introducing a subtle gourmand twist, a hint of warm Vanilla woven through the composition. The result is a luxury men’s scent that feels timeless yet unexpectedly modern; familiar yet intriguingly new.

It is this delicate balance, between classic craft and contemporary taste, that defines Captain Fawcett’s approach to his artisan cologne.
