Our Ffern Artist for Spring 26 is Sophie Coryndon. Inspired by a wide array of traditional crafts and decorative techniques, Sophie’s often sculptural work illuminates the beauty of nature – and shines light on what we stand to lose.

For Spring 26, Sophie has created ‘The Illuminated Herbarium’, a shimmering tangle of spring wildflowers including Lady’s-smock, Vetch, Groundsel, Buttercup and Shepherds Purse. Each stem, petal and leaf is gilded with intricate needle-etched 23.5 ct gold, cut and pinned with meticulous precision onto textured paper. 

Liv and Dom are artists and identical twins who live in Lewes, East Sussex. They are Ffern candle enamel artists for 2026.

Spring 26 was created in partnership with Knepp Wilding in Sussex, capturing the heady tangle of green and white that crowns the rewilded land in spring. Petitgrain and timut pepper evoke the luminous dawn, while broom and tuberose call up clouds of blossom. For the wild meadows we paired valerian and elemi.

The scent of tangled blossom at first light

Broom shrubs bloom in late spring, revealing butter-yellow petals. They are hand-harvested at the height of their bloom, when their scent is most intense, then transformed into an absolute through solvent extraction. The scent is deliciously bitter and honeyed, reminiscent of orange blossom and dried fruit.

Tuberose is an intensely-scented flower, only blooming at night when its colours are invisible to pollinators. Over the centuries, extraction of tuberose absolute has evolved significantly. At Ffern, we use solvent extraction to yield a much higher concentration of fragrance.

Valerian is a flowering herb whose essential oil is extracted from the plant’s root. On its own, its scent is powerful and is therefore rarely used in perfumery. Our nose, Elodie, uses the oil with careful restraint, for the distinctive herbaceous and earthy depth it lends to a composition.

Native to the Philippines, Elemi cannot be harvested until its tree is seven years old. During the wet season, an incision is made in the tree bark and the resin is collected using palm fronds. From this, the essential oil is extracted using steam distillation.

Ffern petitgrain is harvested in Paraguay from a hybrid tree - a cross between a sweet *Citrus x sinensis* and a bitter *Citrus x aurantium*. Grown by a network of family farmers, the tree’s leaves and branches are cut and immediately distilled in hand built, clay sealed wooden distilleries.

Grown on Calabrian hills overlooking the Ionian Sea, the fruit is harvested by hand and the oil extracted at source. The La Face family planted their first bergamot in the 1930s and have been mastering the craft of producing citrus oils ever since.

Our red cedar wood (also known as red juniper) is grown and harvested in its native Virginia, USA. The oil is steam distilled directly from a cabinet maker’s offcuts. It shares the classic woody notes of atlas cedar, but introduces a distinctive ‘pencil’ facet.

Our chamomile comes from the rich soils of Egypt’s Nile Valley, where wild or blue chamomile has been grown for centuries. Though the flower is white and gold, once it has undergone steam distillation the resulting oil is blue. Its warm and herbaceous scent is earthy with apple-like undertones.

The cognac oil we have sourced is a byproduct of winemaking in Romania - a land with its own distinctive climate and soil. The oil itself is obtained by distillation during the fermentation of the grape juice.⁠

Our neroli oil is extracted from the blossom of bitter Seville Orange trees on Cape Bon in northern Tunisia. The blossoms are hand-picked in the spring at daybreak, once dew has formed. The flowers are immediately pressed and distilled.

Neroli

Orange flower

Orange flower is made from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, but unlike neroli, it is extracted using the solvent method, avoiding heat. This allows the blossoms to keep their rich, deep scent; where neroli has delicate, light, green facets, orange flower absolute is seductive, intense. 


Our bitter oranges are grown in a third-generation family orchard in Bauru, Brazil, where they are hand-picked in the early summer of the Southern Hemisphere. The rind is cold pressed on site to produce a juicy, uplifting oil.

Timut pepper is a berry, plucked from the steep mountains of the Mahabharats in southern Nepal. It is made up of a hard, bitter black seed encased in a pericarp casing like the zest of a tangerine. Ffern timut pepper is extracted using the CO2 process.

Originally developed in eighteenth-century Holland, Ffern’s Rose de Mai is grown in Morocco. Traditionally picked only in the month of May, our rose petals undergo solvent extraction immediately, to produce a dark, fragrant wax that can be processed into an absolute or oil.

Green Knight

The Summer 26 Perfumer’s Candle evokes the lushness of a walled garden where emerald vines let their leaves unfurl in a cascading series of green notes - basil, galbanum, buchu. Entwined with this tangle of green, rose geranium and palmarosa give the impression of a peach-coloured rose, while lavender Maillette lends a spacious floral transparency.

The clementine is a citrus hybrid, born from the crossing of a willowleaf mandarin and a sweet orange. Ours are grown on the French island of Corsica, where the fruit is protected. The essential oil is extracted by cold expression of the outer peel, preserving the fruit’s vivid, natural aroma. 

Clementine rind

Ffern’s geranium, _Pelargonium graveolens_, is also known as the rose geranium. Legend has it that this flower was created when the prophet Mohammed, after bathing in a river, laid his shirt upon a mallow branch to dry. The mallow was so honoured that it transformed into the beautiful rose geranium.

Our Egyptian basil grand vert is renowned for its high linalool composition and its distinctive aniseed notes. The leaves are cut and immediately distilled - if they are allowed to dry, the scent is largely lost.

Galbanum is a fragrant gum resin obtained from the root of the Ferula gummosa plant. The roots are hand-scored with a traditional wrought iron galbanum tool, yielding resin which hardens into small droplets to be collected and transformed into an essential oil. 

Galbanum

Buchu leaf oil is made by drying and steam distilling the leaves from the small, thorny buchu bush. Native to South Africa, buchu grows wild near streams in the fynbos, a belt of coastal shrubland in the Eastern and Western Cape.

The frilled, lacy umbels of wild carrot create that pale, high summer froth along hedgerows, in meadows and coastal dunes - and though their roots are edible, they are not as palatable as the plant's familiar cultivar. A sweet, earthy, woody oil can be extracted from the plant's seeds.

Grapefruit oil is cold pressed from the fruit’s golden rind. Native to the Caribbean, grapefruit is thought to have been born from an accidental union of pomelo, the largest citrus fruit, and sweet orange. An eighteenth-century Welsh sailor described it as one of the ‘seven wonders of Barbados’.

Gurjun balsam is a natural resin drawn from trees of the Dipterocarpus genus, native to Southeast Asia. It’s obtained through tapping the tree bark - a traditional extraction method that allows each tree to rest and replenish for months or even years before being tapped again. It carries a woody depth with smooth, slightly leathery undertones.

Gurjun balsam

Peru balsam is drawn from the forests of El Salvador and Guatemala, where the Myroxylon balsamum tree was once traded through Peruvian ports. The tree bark is gently scored, releasing a dark, honeyed resin, then steam distilled and transformed into an oil that is sweet and woody.

Lavender Maillette essential oil is considered one of the finest varieties in perfumery. While it shares the familiar character of Lavandula angustifolia, its scent is notably softer, sweeter, and more nuanced. Our lavender Maillette is grown and harvested in Provence, where the flower has been cultivated since the 15th century.

Our palmarosa grows wild in the Himalayas and in the Radjmahal Mountains on India’s Afghan border, where it is harvested by indigenous tribes. The grasses are then dried for a week to increase the essential oil yield before undergoing steam distillation.

Come, traveller. Adventure awaits in a land of myth and legend, where the world sparkles with light so vivid it seems ground from precious jewels. For Summer 26, we have designed a heady citrus-floral fragrance, sweet with dewy clementine and sun-warmed roses. Threaded by vines of basil, galbanum and blackcurrant bud. 

Our damask roses are grown in the Rose Valley in Bulgaria. They are hand-picked in the early mornings and must be quickly distilled - some pickers even take their copper stills to the fields, heating the roses over wood fires to extract the precious drops that each bloom yields. 


Rose otto

Our wheat bran absolute comes from Hauts-de-France, France’s main wheat-producing region. It comes from the outer husk of the grain - a byproduct of milling - and is typically dried and warmed to draw out its scent, before being transformed into an absolute through solvent extraction. Its notes are honeyed, nutty and coumarinic.

Blackcurrant bud absolute is one of the few natural fruity materials in perfumery. Harvested from new leaf buds from the blackcurrant bush, ours is grown in the historic heartland of cassis perfumery in Burgundy. New leaf buds are picked in the coldest months of winter when the plant’s aromatic compounds are most concentrated.

Blackcurrant bud

Ffern mandarins are harvested in the months before ripening. Whilst still green, they are cold pressed on site to preserve their delicate top notes. The scent is notably sharper and more floral than their ripe counterparts.


Green mandarin rind

Benzoin Siam is a balsamic resin taken from the bark of the styrax tree, growing wild in the Annamite mountains of Laos. In September, a v-shaped cut is made in the tree bark, and brittle white ‘tears’ of benzoin resin accumulate over three-weeks. This process is known as ‘tapping’. 


Benzoin Siam

Jasmine grandiflorum is one of the most sought after ingredients in perfumery. To make a kilogram of the absolute takes eight million flowers - these delicate, night-flowering blooms are hand-picked at dawn between June and September in the Indian Himalayas, where the flowers are sacred. 


Jasmine grandiflorum

Our rock rose grows wild on the plains of Almaden de la Plata outside Seville, Spain. In late summer, the leafy stems of the plant are sickle harvested and plunged into hot carbonated water. This mixture is distilled to obtain a honeyed, amber resin - labdanum.

We chose Haitian vetiver over Javan competitors for its fresh, sparkling notes, and because the root provides sustainable employment for south Haitian communities. One year after planting, the roots are excavated, washed, cut, and sun-dried before they can be steam distilled at source.
