An early spring woodland, veiled in tender green. Velvet cushions of moss gleam on silvered branches. In the glade, dimpled with lemon-pale sunlight, an iridescent purple. A panoply of violets, the year’s first perfume.
This imagined forest, redolent of childhood stories, feels to us like the beginning of a fairytale. For Spring 25, we wanted to lean into this nostalgic setting - creating a fragrance that would beget your own springtime enchantment.
At the heart of the fragrance, we knew we had to have the colour and scent of violets. Accordingly, we turned first to violet leaf absolute*, a deep green liquid which could itself be a magical potion. Its cut-grass facets and warm, woodland undertones paired beautifully with the honeyed tones of another harbinger of spring - the precious jonquil absolute, whose common name is rush daffodil.
Yet we were missing the purple flourish of the violet - its sweet, captivating sparkle. After many iterations we found this in an accord of Rose de Mai, lavender and, for the first time, ylang ylang. These notes blended together to bring a sweet, creamy and faintly herbal florality. An addition of Sicilian lemon rind brought the zest.
But in fairytales, things are rarely as they appear. The woods are green and sunlit - but they are also deep and dark. For this layer of mystery, we lit upon orris, made from the powdered roots of the bearded iris. Rich and opulent, the orris shaded our violet to indigo. As ever, we can’t wait to hear what you think.
*An absolute is the most aromatic form of natural oils, obtained from petals or plants by solvent extraction.
I’m blown away. The whole unboxing experience was just magical. So special. The care and thought that has gone into this is incredible. And I love the scent so much!
This is your best yet! It’s stunning. The candle is beautiful too.
I love the way it evolves on my skin! Truly a story unfolding, and the branding and packaging was the best I’ve ever received for anything. You are truly artists in every sense of the word.
Really, really special. So delicate, subtle, yet forever evolving aroma - a journey of blossom.
What a perfectly lovely scent for spring. Light, airy and whimsical.
What a beautiful scent! I am sure the Ffern team will keep surprising me, but this is my favourite spring scent so far! It is romantic, fresh, a balanced mix of sweet and strong notes. Once again, well done, Ffern team!
Obsessed with Spring 25! It keeps evolving everyday on my skin and my hair. Such a romantic and nostalgic scent. The violet is so beautifully and perfectly strong for my taste, just what I was hoping. This is my first Ffern experience, and I am smitten!
What I love about Ffern perfumes is how they continue to unfold. Such warmth of Spring 25, very pleasant and keeps on lingering. Perfumes have always been my go to for mood enhancement and this one only triggers positive thinking. Artwork is gorgeous as always.
It is exceptional. I am utterly in love with this magical unfolding of scents. Absolutely divine.
I'm absolutely blown away by it. I'm wearing it on the first day of spring and keep catching wafts of it, it's as if I'm in my garden picking up the spring scents out there. It's sublime, and absolute knock out.
I absolutely love the entire experience of the Spring 25 scent. From the art work and candied violets, to the scent itself, it was beautiful.
I can't believe the beauty in this scent! Nostalgic, but fresh and exciting. Ready for spring, rain or shine.
LOVE the spring scent! I really enjoy that I can smell it on me without being too strong. It does last a long time, which a lot of fragrances in a hot climate do not. The artwork is gorgeous. Love every detail from the diffuser to the little ticket.
I received my Spring 25 perfume and candle. Both are absolutely beautiful. Such delicate yet haunting fragrances. This will be a favourite for a very long time.
What an experience to even unpack. Every gift is so thoughtfully added.** I adore the scent!** I really can smell the different notes and it smells differently over time on my skin. I'm more than satisfied!
