Autumn 25

I really enjoy this one. Another lovely, seasonal offering from Ffern. I can see similarities between the Summer 25 and this Autumn 25 which to be fair - I rather enjoy and respect. This autumn is still to my nose, quite rich with the tuberose - it's a waxy, fleshy kind of tuberose - not bubblegum like. The spices in this one are lovely - not too heavy - just natural and warming. I don't get much pear but I'm OK with that. The apple note is very definitely present - but it's more of a spicy, warm cider note which I love. I particularly enjoy the dry down of these scents - the vetiver is insanely good. Lasts a reasonable 4/5hours. Projection is quite subtle. I feel like these definitely get better with age and maceration. I had an Autumn 23 which I never really paid much attention to and left the ledger. Clearing out, found it and re-joined as I was blown away by the depth and complexity which had evolved. As a side note: I live in Scotland - where the autumn/winters are long, dark and kind of dreary at times. I'm making a conscious effort to embrace the seasons more rather than simply wishing for spring 😅 - these perfumes certainly do help with that. Almost aromatherapeutic. I can get a very clear sense of the 'theme' from them which I think - is quite an art. I'm looking forward to the winter release. I love wearing them alongside my usual sig scents to add a bit of seasonal dimension.

I LOVE this one, It is fresh, green and quietly gorgeous! Bright ginger and grassy notes up top soften quickly into gentle woods and warm spice, with that unmistakable clean-air Ffern feel. This isn’t a cosy autumn scent — it lives in the herbal / green / transitional space alongside my Saltworks Infinity and Alchemy, and Beauty Pie's La Botanista. Calm yet uplifting, and effortlessly wearable! Honestly, this is one of those fragrances that just works without trying too hard. I thoroughly recommend if you feel like taking a break from all those cozy cold weather smokes, vanillas and gourmands out there at the moment.

It's really beautiful, as these are, however I don't tend to reach for them as they are so expensive and the performance isn't there - I can see using a significant amount of a small bottle to get "all day" out of a wear. I sprayed this less than an hour ago, and it's almost a skin scent. I really struggle with these, as I absolutely love them, but ..

I get no apple's or pear from this at all unfortunately, to my nose it smells quite simply like hay or a field towards the end of summer start of autumn. And honestly that's not a weakness nor bad thing: I love it.

A beautiful modern chypre, once dried down smells like apple pie
