The company born to fix razor shopping now wants to build the next enduring house of consumer brands. Its wager is that direct customer insight, retail reach and patient operating infrastructure can scale five distinct labels without sanding off what made them matter.
Hawthorne is a New York-based direct-to-consumer men's fragrance and personal care brand founded in 2016 by Brian Jeong and Phil Wong. It pairs data-driven personalization with renowned perfumers to deliver affordable, high-performance colognes and grooming products. Built around its 'Surround Scent' system of layered colognes, body sprays, soaps, deodorants, and skincare, Hawthorne has grown from an online quiz-driven storefront into a brand sold through Ulta, Nordstrom, SSENSE and 1,000+ retail doors.
