Fragrance Story #

We are standing by a sun-dazzled estuary, looking out across the water meadows. The shallows are shining silver and the ancient woodlands that run down to the water’s edge are scorched with gold. The sky is a haze of blue and now and then we catch a hint of coast, carried on the gentlest breeze.

The air, on this late September afternoon in Ruan Lanihorne, Cornwall, swells with the scent of early autumn: the earthiness of the woodland floor, the sweetness of the meadow grasses and the freshness of the sea. It is a scent memory, rich and complex, to which we have returned again and again. For Autumn 21, we have sought to bring it to life.

First to the woods and the dense tapestry of sylvan notes. In recreating this we looked to oakmoss and vetiver, earthy and green, and the woody, resinous facet of cedar. To add depth, we layered patchouli with myrrh - both warm and darkly sweet.

Ruan Lanihorne is a place through which water flows. It is where the Ruan River meets the Fal and, at high tide, where the sea runs inland. The water here has a distinctive timbre, at once brackish, clear and crisp. After many iterations we found it through an accord of seaweed, cardamom and lemon.

The water meadow was perhaps the hardest element of all. The end of summer had carried with it many of the wildflowers but the outlines of irises remained, hidden amongst the grasses. Warmed by the sun, these grasses seemed to echo the heady aroma of a summer’s day and so we chose to weave them into the fragrance itself - returning to the hay absolute of Summer 21 and marrying it with the sweet, herbaceous notes of hyssop, clary sage, tarragon and coriander seed.

Autumn 21 has become a journey through scent, to a singular moment, belonging to a certain place. We very much hope that we have been able to take you there with us and, as ever, look forward to hearing your thoughts.

#Autumn21 It is stunning & yet again I absolutely love your new fragrance. You are so right in the development of smell and growth of attachment. Each day I fall more in love with your new fragrance. But they are all loved equally …but I am amazed by the depth of connectivity, earthiness and beauty of them all.

I just wanted to share with you how much impact the latest fragrance has had on me. I was stunned when I saw that it was inspired by Ruan Lanihorne. As a child, we had a holiday cottage in Portscatho, just a few minutes drive away from here and we used to drive through to get to Truro but also to admire the woods and pick primroses for my mother. The fragrance is gorgeous and it's lovely to wear it and think about those times. The film you've sent out to accompany it is wonderful and it would have been my mother's birthday today so all very moving. Thank you!

I hardly ever change my scent so it is nice that I found a company with which I feel ethical concerns feature and that you select the scents for me so I have less work to do. I feel positive about the product. It's nice to have something unique that comes in small batches and is good for the environment.

Thank you again for your commitment to nature and to people. Keep up the good work!

Yep - love it, I have no formal nose training so subjective comments only - but once again you have come up with a scent that in sea of mediocre international scents - manages to be an island of originality, the notes are certainly distinctive of changing seasons and autumnal fragrance - I use it daily in my work as a supply teacher in different schools and it always generates positive comments and I spread the Ffern word - so give yourself a round of applause !

Love Autumn 21, it has my favourite “kitchen garden” smells – herbs with citrus which I love. I am new to Ffern but also bought the archive perfumes – all of which I love. I always get compliments when wearing the perfume and it certainly lasts all day.

Unique scents with great customer service. I really enjoy the concept of Ffern - seasonal unisex fragrances. Each bottle comes with a tester, so you can try it on the skin - if you don't like it, you can return it.

Give it a try. I read about Ffern and decided to try it. I've now had 3 different scents - spring, summer and autumn - and each has been wonderful in its own way reflecting the season. I love the concept of designing a scent in tune with the changing seasons and I've recommended it to other friends.

Bliss in a bottle each season. This is one of my favourite subscriptions. Everything about this brand aligns with my values and beliefs.

Ffern perfumes are great quality, sustainably made and made all the more precious by the fact that they are dispersed only once each season, bottling a sophisticated combination of scents to evoke the upcoming months. I particularly appreciate the communication from Ffern both via emails and the information that accompanies the perfume itself. All the packaging is recyclable and the ingredients sustainably sourced.

Ffern is a little oasis of sanity, craft and vision in an increasingly anodyne, anonymous world: small batch, seasonal, handcrafted, organic, limited edition fragrances backed up by faultless customer care and genuine engagement. It's subscription-based and you can sample each scent before you decide, thanks to a genius packaging innovation. The fragrances are unique and special. It's like the perfect marriage of nature, art, science and craft!

When I took my first sniff I thought Hmm it smells just like winter 21 so I tried some on the other arm. It was nothing like it. It must have been summer 21, no it wasn't that either. I knew and liked the scent but can't think of where I have come across it. It starts off slightly sharp on the nose but mellows to a warm earthy comfortable scent. A happy scent, perhaps reminiscent of a summer evening by a campfire on the shores of a Scottish loch or on the deck of a yacht hired for a sailing holiday on the west coast. Watching the moon rise and the stars fill the skies, the clink of ice in a glass and the aroma of an Islay malt slowly warming you from the inside. I have been wearing this perfume for a while now and alternating with my spring, summer and winter perfumes. I like to let the weather dictate my choice for the day. My first thought is always hmm not my favourite but then as it warms on my skin and the subtle smokiness and earthiness come out I really like it. It does sort of embody different aspects of the winter and summer aromas but that is the scent of autumn. The dried leaves, freshly plowed fields, misty mornings where a faint trace of bonfire smoke still clings to the damp grass. It all evokes such happy memories.

I love the Autumn 21, it’s probably the favourite of the four that I now have – a full set. They are all delightful and quite different from any other perfumes I have owned. I love the whole ethos of how they are created and produced.

Committed to producing small-batch, quality fragrances, the brand will only ever produce one bottle for each of the names signed up – the ultimate exclusive fragrance experience. Be sure to join the waiting list. With craft, ingredients and creativity at the heart of Ffern, all we can say is expect the unexpected.

Many scents claim to be unique, but this small batch unisex fragrance made in Somerset really lives by that mantra. Alluring and truly something different, Ffern could be the future of fragrance.
