A few years ago, my dear friend Robbie Stamp introduced me to the perfume company Ffern. The company embodies a simple yet powerful vision: to revive perfumery's artisanal essence. Guided by this vision, they make fragrances from the finest sustainably sourced organic ingredients, ensuring they are vegan. Honoring the natural rhythms of the seasons, the company blends and bottles four distinct fragrances annually, each released during the equinoxes and solstices.
This week I am loving and appreciating the slowness of craft and the scent of Summer 23. The scent reminds me of a summers day out in the English countryside, of the sounds of insects and cloudless skies. It reminds my of luxuriating in stillness.
