Flawed Fern 50ml

A mid-century inspired classic with a twist. When our friend Arthur was in a film set in the 1960s, we made him a fragrance to match his stunning bespoke suits. It’s a fougere with top notes of his favourite salad: kumquat, fennel and basil.

INGREDIENTS: Alcohol (denat), Parfum, Coumarin, Linalool, Citral, Evernia Prunastri (Oak moss extract), Limonene, Eugenol, Benzyl alcohol, Geraniol.

“Flawed Fern is a modern take on the classic fougère, it’s definitely not your father's sharp, manly fragrance. Instead, it presents a soft, perfectly unisex scent that follows the traditional combination of fern, bergamot, oakmoss and lavender, characteristic of classic fougères. However, in this scent, I believe the traditional top notes are strategically positioned at the base. When I first tried it, the first impression was an intriguing hint of mint or spearmint for a few seconds a note I truly adore in perfumes, it’s actually basil, a note I love even more. (I'm not entirely sure if basil and mint are botanically related). I can already tell this will be a summer staple for me; it’s both refreshingly vibrant and cozily comforting. The lavender in Flawed Fern is not your typical lavender; it feels less pungent and medicinal. Instead, it’s paired with coumarin, which adds a delightful touch of sweetness, on my skin it performs like skin scent subtle but persistent fresh and cozy perfect for spring and summer,  honestly its just perfect for anytime of the year” - Miriam Shechter Ellenbogen

“The mossy-aniseed combination is irresistible.” - Cath Morgan

“Ooooooh this is niiiiiice! No shade to those of you who consider Flawed Fern masculine, but babyyyy NO this is perfectly unisex. It's sweet enough to appeal to my feminine fragrance interests (it's practically a gourmand), but not so sweet that it would be off-putting to a manly man” - Laura Klein

“I wasn't expecting this to be among my favourites but I love it, especially the fennel note! I think I'm going to need a big bottle!” - Madeleine Thorne
