At Ffern, we are committed to using 95-100% natural ingredients in all of our fragrances.
We do make an allowance for up to 5% harmonising molecules from a carefully researched list. These lab-derived harmonising molecules don’t carry a strong scent themselves - rather they serve to brighten, space-out and strengthen the natural notes.
The remainder of the fragrance is made up of quintuple-distilled organic Italian grain alcohol, purified water, and in some cases orange flower water or other natural waters - these are byproducts of the oil extraction process used to add character and reduce waste.
To learn more about our approach to natural perfume making you can read our natural perfumery framework here. This document outlines our precise approach to responsible natural perfume making in the 21st century. Our ambition is to evolve these principles into a general standard that might one day be adopted by other enthusiasts, makers, and natural perfumery practitioners.
