Summer 26 Ffern 2026

Bright sparkly citrus, prosecco bubbles. It could be greener. It’s more grounded in village life than it is fantastical - I don’t get enough plant life from this to get a vision of the green knight riding through the woods. It’s so full of juicy orange and bergamot that even I, a noted citrus hater, am loving how pleasant and fresh it is..

I want to say it doesn’t feel medieval because it doesn’t feel old, but that’s not really a fair comment. It probably DOES feel medieval, like sunshine on the village green or an orchard full of fruit. It feels very lived-in, like summer days that are just as long today as they were 600 years ago. I can feel the bees buzzing around the roses.

When I smelled it, I was instantly impressed. I was immediately transported to a Mediterranean garden filled with roses, where mandarins are being cut at the opening and it gradually began to smell more and more like roses. In the drydown, it becomes bitter from the woods, and the last hours of sunshine have begun. I’ve never been able to imagine myself in a perfume so well... since so many others are often simply too synthetic and too much.. for my picky nose.

So it sounds like a wow, but just not on my skin. Here, it becomes far too bitter for me, even though I still want to smell it again and again because it’s so interesting. My husband, on the other hand, loves the bitterness. On his skin, it becomes even much more bitter.
