LX48

LX48 by Caswell Massey is a deeply textured, leather-heavy fragrance with prominent oakmoss, tobacco, and cedar notes, blended with a subtle but persistent violet note that gives it a soft, powdery elegance. While marketed as masculine, it has a surprising and well-received feminine appeal, with many women loving its warm, sophisticated character, especially in colder seasons. The scent starts bold and earthy, with a heavy leather and tobacco opening that fades into a close-to-skin, moderate sillage, making it most effective during fall and winter. Longevity is moderate to long, though it settles quickly and projects less than expected, leading some to describe it as intimate or faint after 4 hours. It combines a strong, animalic base with subtle sweetness from violet — an unexpected but notable addition that keeps the fragrance from being harsh or one-dimensional. The effect is of an older, refined gentleman’s signature scent from a bygone era — not loud or aggressive, but quietly magnetic. It tends to evolve slowly, revealing its depth only after the top notes subside, and may require patience to appreciate fully.
