Spring 25

Exactly what a spring perfume should smell like. It starts off grassy and quite vegetal with a blast of cold but then blooms into the loveliest of citrus and violet warmth. It’s like the early spring snow melting away into the warmth of the first blooms. The jonquil and violet are the stars, but by no means overpower the other players. Honestly , this scent is so complex as the notes work in unison, but each one shines throughout the day with wear. One moment you catch a whiff of verbena, the. Ylang Ylang, then lemon and violet. The mint is subtle —but perfect— and what you get by early dry down is what you have by the final hour, just with more warmth. It’s quite lovely and I already bought my second bottle. It was my first Ffern and I’m hoping I will feel this joy for many more to come.

This is my third Ffern fragrance -- I've been on the ledger since Autumn 24 -- and I am in love. This one is leagues above the first two I received, although I did end up buying Winter 25 from another subscriber and have layered Winter 25 and Spring 25 a bit. Spring 25 is in a league of its own, though. As others have said, it is spring in a bottle, and I love that it is multi-faceted, rippling through fresh flowers, mint, herbs and citrus throughout its wear. It will be a tough sell for me to not exchange the summer formula for another backup bottle of this when the next season rolls around. This perfume is exactly what I had imagined when I signed up for Ffern in the first place. They have knocked it out of the park with this one.

This is my second Ffern fragrance and so far, both Winter 25 and Spring 25 have blown me away. I am starting to recognize the Ffern DNA and it is right up my alley. I love fresh, aromatic florals, and if I were to create my own perfume this flanker would be it. I understand some don't appreciate the business model, but I quite like the fact that they make a certain amount of bottles and that's it. They use organic and responsibly sourced ingredients and their customer service is fantastic. The label was torn on my bottle when it arrived, and they promptly sent me a replacement. 10/10

Very reminiscent of an English country childhood. 🌿 The peppermint, violet and lemon sing on my skin. One of my favourite ffern scents, and Summer 25 is even better, they are on a roll! I love wearing these soft ffern scents around my children and toddler nephews, the natural ingredients don’t irritate their young skin or annoy their noses, and feel just right for me to give them all the cuddles and playful hands on fun of family life.

I'm honestly shocked that some people think all Ffern scents smell the same- I've been on the ledger since Summer 24 and each scent has been so unique and gorgeous. The star of this one really is the violet accord at its heart, but the journey from bright, cold, green violet leaf to sugary violet petal to velvety orris root is beautiful. I notice something new every time I wear it, which is something I love about natural fragrances.
