Summer 25
Crafted in the same spirit as our eau de parfum, the new Ffern Perfumer's Candle is made with completely natural ingredients and is presented in an innovative recycled and reusable steel vessel.
For Summer 25, we created the scent of a sunset. A blush on the sky’s cheek, spiced and fruity, shading to a lustrous depth and warmth - and the promise of a golden day tomorrow.
Set into the lid of your candle is a seasonal artwork. A leafy figure rides through on a great horse - echoing the Green Knights and Green Men that are carved into our ancient buildings, and flit through our folkloric forests. A unique edition number is engraved on the underside of the lid.
To try a Perfumer’s Candle,
The setting sun leaves a blush on the sky’s cheek. Potter’s pink, vermilion, hues of ochre and magenta - and the promise of a golden day tomorrow. As the rhyme goes, Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight…
For Summer 25, we wondered if we could recreate such a sunset. Something peach-coloured, spiced and fruity, shading to a lustrous depth and warmth.
We began with the fuchsia sun, burning towards the horizon. For this we turned to the perfect orb of a blood orange, ripe with nectar sweetness.
Radiating out from the sun are creamier tones, where pinks and oranges meet the blue-white of the sky. So of course, we thought of peach. Our nose Elodie experimented with a white peach water, never before used in perfumery.
Mouthwatering and velvety as only peach can be, the enriched water harmonised with red champaca - a cousin of the magnolia flower, with golden tones of honey and champagne.
For the pale, shimmering watercolours that wash across the sky, we looked to the cold-pressed rind of a new pink grapefruit we found in Mexico. A distinctive addition to our citrus library, with a wonderfully clear, sparkling facet.
Turning to the stronger hues, close to the horizon, we lit upon turmeric, sourced especially for Summer 25. Its light yellow oil has a truly unique scent profile - peppery heat matched with a green and aromatic freshness.
We’d been floating, up in the sky, but we realised we were missing the scents of the landscape. Leaning back and looking up, drying fronds of meadow grass framing the sunset.
For this we turned to spices and resins for their dry heat, like baked earth. Cardamom, hay and brown-eyed rock rose - and for the first time fruity, herbaceous marigold, that sunset-coloured flower.
The land turning gold, before the warm summer night.
