Since 2016 : Crafting Fragrances with Nature’s Rhythm

 

Founded in 2016 by siblings Owen Mears and Emily Cameron, Ffern emerged from the serene landscapes of Somerset, England, a place renowned for its deep connection to nature and artisanal craftsmanship. The vision behind Ffern was to challenge the synthetic, mass-produced fragrances dominating the industry, aiming to revive traditional perfumery techniques with a focus on natural ingredients and the storytelling power of the seasons.

 

In collaboration with François Robert, a fifth-generation master perfumer, the siblings embarked on a journey to create fragrances that captured the essence of each season. Ffern’s unique approach not only embraced sustainability from the outset but also introduced an innovative business model. The brand releases only four limited-edition fragrances each year, timed with the solstices and equinoxes, producing enough for clients enrolled in their exclusive subscription platform, “The Ledger.” This ensures both exclusivity and minimal waste, setting Ffern apart from the conventional fragrance brands.
