Spring 23
If you had to choose one flower of spring, which would it be? For us, this was an easy answer: the narcissus.
First, the emerging stem, almost white against the dark, damp earth. Then the leaves, clean and symmetrical. And finally the nodding bud, bursting to reveal a golden corona, a ruff of six creamy petals - and a heady scent that drifts through the meadows, the woods and along the riverbank.
The scent of narcissus absolute is sweet and herbaceous, a little like honeyed jasmine. But there is a depth to it, with warm hay and a hint of tobacco rounding out the edges, that makes this an unusual and rewarding floral to work with. A base note, it may take a few minutes to awaken - soft, polleny and undeniably green.
For Spring 23, we took narcissus as our starting point - and from it, we grew a landscape. The woods came forth in petitgrain, cedar and vetiver. Ginger and basil grand vert (favourite ingredients amongst our spring fragrances) brought earthiness and spice, balanced by the sunshine notes of bergamot and green mandarin.
Timut pepper is a new ingredient which we have been waiting to use for some time now. Sharp, herbaceous, but with a light citrus undertone, it pairs beautifully with orange blossom water.
We found a perfect place for it within Spring 23, where it brought a delicious crispness to the fragrance, enlivening its quieter notes, making it sparkle.
I just wanted to get in touch to say that my first Ffern perfume has arrived, and I am absolutely blown away …. it is absolutely the most exquisite scent. I have longed to find a scent that I feel really suits me, and this is it. I am so delighted!
Just wanted to say that I’m a new customer, my perfume arrived today and I love it! Thank you for providing such a wonderful service.
Just wanted to say I have received my very first bottle of Ffern and I love it! How special ! Spring is simply beautiful and has completely lifted my spirits for the new season. Can I also say I am an ardent Almanac fan and find the podcast takes me to all sorts of different places. You are all such a creative team. Thank you so much !
This one was an instant love … the freshness just awakened my senses to the promise of spring

Liz Anderson email Wow !! My first Ffern arrived today and.. I absolutely LOVE it.
Thank you so much. It was beautiful packaged. Smells divine and has totally exceeded my expectations. …
For the record, the Spring 23 fragrance has been a hit in the household. While I purchased it for myself, my son (8) and mother (74) have both taken a liking to it and have been lavishly spritzing themselves daily. It truly appeals to both genders and spans generations. Looking forward to planting the seeds gifted and the fragrances to come.
I just received my Spring 23. It is absolutely phenomenal. Keep creating this and never stop!
I cannot wait to see what future seasons bring.
I adore the composition of Spring 23 and ALWAYS receive compliments when I wear it.
My favorite notes are the Narcissus, Bitter orange rind and Ginger root. I recently had one admirer say that they noticed the Timut pepper. In any case, it is a brilliant creation that has totally elevated my life!
